[Climbing and Mountain Recreation Page]

This section is always under a great deal of revision and improvement. These photos span adventures which were for my own recreation as well as guided climbs. [Major Organized Trips] [Special Collections] [Archived] [Current/Recent] "Realtime" Photos The most recent photos. Generally unsorted and not retouched to any great extent - straight from the digital camera, the scanner, or the developers CD. Special Collections - Larger Trips, Particular events or people, etc Photos from Galteur, Austria Photos of the town following the major European avalanche cycle of 1999. A lot of attention was focused on Galteur when 31 people died inside homes on February 23 (which also happens to be my birthday!). A day or two later 7 people were killed in Valzur down the valley. There is now an avalanche dam serving as a conference/community/exhibit center as well. Here are some photos of the Alpinarium, the town with the empty space remaining, some local defense structures, and some memorials in town and in the mountains. Photos from Austria Some digital photos from a couple trips to Austria. In 2000 I was participating in the International Glaciology Society conference on avalanches. I summitted the Zuckerhutl and the Wildspitze (Austrias 2nd highest peak). I also took the Nordkettebahn from Innsbruck up to the top and skied/hiked out to another village through the Karwindel Alps. In the fall of 2002 on a personal trip I went back to the Zuckerhutl area but did no ascents, and I also went to a few other mountain ranges further east (in or near Saltzberg Province). The "Diamond Peak Ski Chalet" During the winter of 2000-2001 my old VW bus served as a backcountry ski chalet near Diamond Peak. Here are a few photos along with an overview and a note on what happened to it in the end (which is not entirely known). Adventures with Kerry Organized Trips About twice per year I organize a major backcountry skiing or mountaineering trip in western Canada. We usually fly in and out via helicopter and spend a week. Each trip ends up with its own photo gallery, although these are typically not complete for 6 months to a year.
