Is this thing working??? Joel on route. 

A close up on the upper half of the east buttress of Mt. Shepherd 10,912' in the beartooths. My route on Saturday took the streamlined coulior that slashes up left. This photo was taken April 25th from accross the canyon near the California Ice approach gully. All other photos in this series of four were taken on Saturday June 11th.

Looking southeast at the frosting covered Sundance Mountain and Mount Inabit from the summit plateau of Mt. Shepherd at 10,700 feet. 

Joel packing it into Rimrock lake in the Beartooths. 

Lost again in the Beartooths. 

I have been informed some of you haven't even heard of or seen Devils Tower so here is a photo from our camp site. Looks like a bad SUV advertisement. 

The Aeroplane Flies High

Nearly a month since the last post! What happened? Costa Rica, Minnesota, overtime, rain, snow, and more rain, sick, more overtime......but finally we got out again to good weather and good times with fellow Billings climbers Ari and Daniel over on Devils tower. Hopefully these trends will continue........

Viva La Summit. 

Anya jamming with good style on her way up to the summit of Devils Tower via "Bon Homme." 

Anya showing the tourists how its done going up the finger crack first pitch of "El Matador" on Devils Tower. 

Questioning the body's structure and flexibility, Joel fights the pain and stems his way up with Daniel hiding from the sun below on "El Matador" on Devils Tower.

Nearing the tope of the elevator shaft of "El Matador" on Devils Tower. 

Finally! I got to ride the horses AND eat an ice cream cone. 

Yes we're back on track

After a hiatus last week, (we forgot the camera at the base of our rock route last week) I've posted some new photos from this past weekend. As for upcoming attractions, Anya heads to Costa Rica on thursday for a week and I head to Minnesota for the weekend early friday morning.

Yes, we have the same boots, just different sizes. Sitting up high on a canyon wall in the Beartooths.

Anya following up a route up on the rims above Billings, MT.

Yeah, that's a little cold..................crossing the South Fork of the Shoshone on the way back from another run up "High on Boulder" near Cody, WY.

Anya riding up the 3rd pitch of "High on Boulder" near Cody, WY. 

Anya strolling into the beartooths. Gee, it must be rough to be able to head in to this uncrowded wilderness anytime you feel like it. Yeah, like this past weekend when the skies were clear and the temps up in the 60's during the day. 

Hunkered down early evening Saturday night, somewhere in the beartooths.
