Dan Asay above
South Lake, Sierra Nevada, 2001. Dan is sporting yet another
pair of his fine custom climbing shoes, which he makes
along with hiking boots in his shop in Bishop.
Besides that, Dan also happens to be one of the most elegant
rock climbers I've shared a rope with. |

Sonja
following the desperately thin Sinsemilla (5.10) at Frenchman's
Coulee, June 2006.
The original image was shaky and
out of focus, a result of belaying, low light and long focal
length. I was about to reject it until Photoshop saved the
day with its poster edge filter at default settings. |
