The Beast

*Update* Just added photos from The Beast 666 rock climb to the Archive.

You probably won’t find this technique in a basic rock climbing book. Erik Eisele stashing his helmet to facilitate upward progress in The Beast (5.11+) chimney on Cathedral Ledge in New Hampshire. The second photo gives a better perspective of the route.

Photo Details: Canon 5D w/ EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM lens at 35mm, 1/200s at f/4 and ISO 1000.

Photo Archive: Mountaineer’s Route

Brian — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:29:39 +0000

Added photos from a 03/03/2010 ski descent of the Mountaineer’s Route on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. This route drops directly off the summit of Mount Webster and I’ve heard it called the Mountaineer’s Route. I’ve always looked up when driving through Crawford Notch and wondered if it would ever get enough snow to ski. A big snow storm with east winds answered that question.

Photo Archive: Shoestring Gully

Added photos from a 03/05/2010 climb and ski descent of Shoestring Gully on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. Jim Surette and I were able to ski the entire route without rappelling (had to ski around one ice bulge) due to recent storms (w/ east winds) that loaded the gully with deep snow.

Photo Archive

I just added a section to the website called the Archive. It’s a searchable database of photos where you can select your choices and save them in a “lightbox”. The first set of photos was from 03/16/2010 sunrise shoot of Mount Washington from Wildcat Ski Area.

New Mount Washington Panoramics

Brian — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:07:18 +0000

On March 16, 2010 I skinned up Wildcat to photograph the east side of Mount Washington before the spring thaw came. While it wasn’t a perfectly clear sunrise, there was some nice dawn light and alpenglow. Here are two panoramics I created from photos taken that morning. They both show the main features of Mount Washington’s east side; from left to right are the Gulf of Slides, Tuckerman Ravine, and Huntington Ravine.

Cannon Bolts

Brian — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:07:57 +0000

Most rock climbers know to be cautious when climbing on Cannon Cliff, but this is underscored when you see loose talus with bolts in place. Taken in September of 2004, this photo shows some talus below Cannon Cliff in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. The climbers are Jennifer Tennican and Will Mayo, we were heading up to climb some pitches for Jennifer’s film Benedictus.

Photo Details: Nikon F100 with 17-35mm f/2.8 AF-S lens and Fuji slide film.
