The capability to add video is new & I've posted 3 vidoes below. My regular camera doesn't take video but my old one did so these are all older.

Also added a virtual photo book called 'Finding beauty in a harsh season, winter 2009'.

I'm adding another page featuring my ultra prominent peak adventures. Just click on ultra prominence above .

On Aug. 12, 2009 I finished the list of 57 ultra prominence peaks in the lower 48 states, see the ultra prominence page.

The monthly Collage will feature some of my favorite recent pics, I've just added Jan. 09' photos & they are all pics not in other albums. Its a separate page, click above.

Link to Peaklist, which explains prominence and has lots of lists of mountains from all over the world.

Link to Summitposts list with all kinds of route planning info on each peak. This is a great resource for those interested in the 57 ultra list
