Ice Photo Shoot with Claudia Lopez: www.claudialopezphotography.com
Please visit www.claudialopezphotography.com to contact Claudia. She can jug ropes, endure long days in the cold, carry gear and make an 11 hour photo shoot very enjoyable. I was very lucky the Marmot PR Department asked her to shoot some photos of me, as all other photographers have had trouble making me look pretty. These are just a couple of snaps she sent over. These photos were shot on two different days this April; in RMNP and Boulder, CO. Big thanks also go out to Tom Halicki for his amazing patience belaying in the cold all day for the ice photos - and for the amazing BBQ ribs after!!
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!
