Last visit of '09?

Stopped by the desert under a full moon to capture the moment, whilst the kiddos asleep in the mojedemobile.




Full moon fever:-)

December in the Benchlands

It can be hard around the winter solstice, the days are short and the motivation can be low....but the last few weeks have warmed up and a nice group of folks have come out and experienced the joy of the Boulder Batholith.

Benchlands and Birthdays

Over the past few weekends, the dry climate of the Eastern Bathoith has allowed us to take numerous trips into the Benchlands, to further explore and develop. Here are the best of my shots from the sessions. Happy Birthday, Tom!

It's been a busy start to the Benchlands Winter "season"--let's see what will transpire in cold temps.

Bear vs Bull

In 1895 at Columbia Gardens, a bear battled a bull to the death. A gory example of the ruggedness of Butte. It seems only fitting that this town would have such a plethora of wide, rugged climbing.


Bear vs. Bull
