mountainmandoug Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Congratulations Steph!. That looks like an awesome trip. I'm glad it worked out so well. Drop me a line and lets talk about some Gargoyles. Quote
wayne Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Nice we saw your tracks in there .Josh and I just did the n but terror Quote
sharp_end Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Holy .... Those pictures are top notch. I love nighttime pictures. It seems that you are a true lover of those photos as well. The difference between you and I is that you can actually take great pictures. Let me know if you are ever in need of a climbing partner. Quality photographer/climbers are rare. I will work for you if you ever need a pack mule. Quote
goatboy Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Fabulous! What a smart way to do those peaks, utilizing the high camp near the Chopping Block as a staging area for Terror.... Quote
matopis Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Steph, Any way to look at all of those pictures from your website in a slide-show format? I'm Jealous I missed the trip. Jason strategically planned this so I couldn't go. Quote
