Climbing

 “I was certain of this at least:  that nothing in the world except this was worth doing.” 
Aleister Crowley, Mountaineer and Black Magician,1908

   Except for a break between 1980 and 1985, I’ve climbed and backpacked nearly continuously my entire life.  Amongst my greatest regrets is that, in more than 60 years of climbing, usually for reasons of speed but just as often for reasons of laziness and neglect – I didn’t take more photos.   Consequently, these images represent a small portion of my experience and reflect not so much what was photo-worthy, though they all are, but rather those periods of time that I happened to have a camera.  There are many photos of many climbs out there, taken by others.  Those folks know who they are and if they stumble across my little site, it would be great to hear from them and swap images.
