| Mt. Neva's east face in early June 2004. There was about the same amount of snow in late June 2008. The face is about 600 vertical feet. We climbed four longish pitches to the snow below the summit. | CO : Alpine Rock : ... : Direct East Face (5.7 Easy Snow) | | Jun 28, 2008 |

| Midway in the first crux sequence. Getting into a position something like this, and then moving the right foot up, are the key moves. The harder second crux starts above the red sling. | CO : Boulder Canyon : ... : SMERSH (5.11) | | Oct 9, 2007 |
| Despite the back-and-forth appearance of the line in this photo, the climbing flows well and a single rope runs very smoothly with a few strategically placed slings. | CO : Boulder Canyon : ... : SMERSH (5.11) | | Oct 9, 2007 |

| The traverse on Pitch 5, above all the loose flakes: The traverse wasn't too bad, despite the soaking wet hand and foot holds, but the big overhang afterward felt like 5.11 with our cold, wet hands. | CO : Alpine Rock : ... : Cannonball Corner (5.10c) | | Aug 12, 2007 |
| The view from the spectacular perch atop Pitch 5, looking down the entire route. Lots of good climbing on this one, but lots of loose flakes and heads-up climbing, too. Pitch 5, for one, begins with a | CO : Alpine Rock : ... : Cannonball Corner (5.10c) | 7 people | Aug 12, 2007 |
| The business on Pitch 4: Transitioning from this position to an undercling is the crux move. The short undercling turns the roof just above Dave's right foot. | CO : Alpine Rock : ... : Cannonball Corner (5.10c) | 7 people | Aug 12, 2007 |
