Thanks to @olyclimber for creating a safe space for a photo nerd like me.....
If you're here, you probably care about your photos. Or maybe you are just here to make fun of people that carry too much weight!
But, regardless, what is your photo system and why?
For me, it is a full frame dSLR (nikon D750), mostly because the mirrorless options weren't quite there yet when I bought my latest camera. Why full frame?? That is a very good question....but I am just a sucker for a nice image and a 35mm sensor seems to to that and still be something you can carry up a mountain.
My main lens is a Nikon 24-120mm f4 that is OK, but not great. I sometimes lug a 70-300mm tele that is f3.5-5.6ish. Nothing fancy since the finance minister (and my kids) won't let be spring for f2.8 glass or better. My one splurge is a 20mm f1.8 that I bought used for astrophotraphy. I hang a Lowepro case on my chest to carry the camera, supported by p-cord and biners off the pack straps.
For more technical routes (~>5.5ish) I have a Canon S120 on my shoulder strap.
Now, I would probably spring for a Canon R5 or Nikon Z7 for a dSLR and a Sony RX100 for a P&S.... Maybe in a few years.....
The nerd on the summit of Mt. Anderson earlier this summer....
Glad you made it up there, I wish I could have made it with you. This year between my mom almost passing a couple times (she didn't and is holding on great once they figured out how to keep her going), and myself (kidney stone, finally resolved with a procedure I won't share as I don't want to think about it) my summer got shot to hell. I felt lucky to go hiking on the beach the times I have. Do look forward to doing the Bowron and this fall and a November AK trip.
I actually have a Sony RX100 Mark 4 I might be willing to let go of if someone is in the market. It does have an issue, like i think i may have put a crack in the screen or something. I'll have to dig it out and figure that out. Great camera though, and it was the best one a while back when I bought it for outdoor adventures i think where you need a super compact camera.I have had great look with the small Canon point and shoot cameras over the years. Mostly I'm shooting my Canon 5D Mark III, but usually don't bring it on hikes/climbs as its heavy.

created it. maybe it will be used, maybe not. worth a shot.

I assume you donated the ropes to the Smithsonian, if they were "game used".

If I created one, would you use it.

I remember approaching the Flag Pole in a failed attempt, up from Ingalls Creek, and we wallowed a short while through a recent burn. It wasn't that bad or that far, but I would definitely not do something again like that by choice. Give me sweet, clean slide alder.

Looks like a fun trip! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah hopefully Jon can get to it soon. I don’t have access.

I just used the "Preview" app on my Mac to set the image to 50% of what it was....that seemed to be a good size and the system took it so I guess that is the solution. I did adjust the system so it would take an image the size of the original you sent me and it still didn't work.....DANG COMPUTERS!
-
the size of the image was so large that even when I adjusted the system to accommodate it, it still didn't work! So I resized the image and added it to your post. Thank you!

I have a pair of Scarpa Freney XT boots in size 44.5 in great shape that need a new home.
Includes orange superfeet insert. Really nice Eye-talian made boots.
$75 OBO. Get ready to climb some ice this winter.

Welp these are still for sale. Waiting for the guy who said he wanted them to come through, and that still may happen, but first $300 cash takes them.
They are not musty at all and I'm throwing in a CD (or is it a DVD?) with the Canadian Alpine Journals on it through 2007 I think? Come git em!

Otto, I don't see a restriction in the backend for image size. Can you try a different browser? I may have you email it to me so I can try and see it too if that doesn't do it.

congratulations!

I know he did stuff that was unfathomable to me and now I guess there is a movie, but Marc will live on in my mind as cheamclimber, this goofy kid with a lot of enthusiasm.
