Spring 2004 Valery Babanov and I went on an Expedition to the Alaska Range. This photo was taken by Babanov looking down the Mini Moonflower couloir, for more info on out trip check out www.babanov.com
Born in 1972, I live in the Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado and has been climbing for a very long time. I have been fortunate that climbing has taken me around the world, attempting and putting up new routes or speed ascents in the Himalaya, Alaska, Patagonia and Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. I have guided and or led expeditions to Everest, K2 (5 times) Makalu, Cho Oyu and the Gasherbrums, Nuptse South Face, Ama Dablam (5 times), Pumori and Cerro Torre.
Life, business and injury have kept me sidelined for the past year, but I am back at it with more passion than ever!
