Denali. West Buttress. Mt Foraker in the background. This was Ray Genet's last trip up Denali.

Lost Arrow Spire Tyrolean Traverse, Yosemite.<br>
Glacier Point is near foreground; Starr King in distance.

The Altar, Monastery, CO. this rock may be 1.7+ billion years old It is a pegmatite and could have occurred during deep burial and heating so that lighter minerals actually melted and intruded rox about the same original age....OR..the permatites might be from a later magma that intruded the older base rock of CO. I only have an M.S. The minerals are feldspar and quartz and biotite. There is also a lot of tourmaline.

El Cap. The Nose, approaching the Great roof. Yosemite

Ogawayama, Japan. This is granite, but has sharp quartz crystals. Lots of camping and even some huts to rent.

Ironstone in Blue Mountains, Australia.<br>
Sandstone impregnated with iron bearing fluids. Great holds.

Indian Rock, Berkeley, CA. My research on this rock is at: http://www.ncgeolsoc.org/past-field-trips/northbrae-rhyolite-field-trip; Murphy, L., Fleck, R.J., and Wooden, J.L., 2002, Northb /https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2002AM/finalprogram/abstract_41514.htm

How to attach resident strings to personal top rope---Oahu

Rivendale Wall. Mt Lemmon. Tucson, AZ. WARM & SUNNY in the winter. I love this wall.

NOT ice climbing. Minoan Serpent goddess. Knossos, Crete.

Red radiolarian chert--Akaiwa Seigankyo, Hokkaido. Such chert is part of the subduction melange. See also red chert north end of Golden Gate Bridge. Chert is basically 100% quartz.

Tenaya Lake and Peak, Stately Pleasure Dome. Yosemite. I know this is blurry, but that is how we felt at this point. We skied up the Snow Creek Trail from the Valley, breaking thru 2 feet of snow.

Wanda Rutkiewicz and Denise: El Cap lie-back, Yosemite. Background is Middle Cathedral Pillar of Frenzy.

Questa Dome, N.M. Question of Balance. Tertiary granitic rock, near the molybdenum mine at Questa.

Ste Victoire, Provence France
<br>
Many routes

Too hot to climb mid-summer

Salathe in bad weather. El Cap. Yosemite

Death by Chocolate, San Rafael Swell, Utah

Matthes Crest, Yosemite. Cathedral Range in background. This is unglaciated high-country granite, which should be compared with the rounded, polished domes of Tuoluome Meadows and Yosemite Valley. This rough rock was too high to be smoothed by the glaciers that swept over Fairview Dome, Basket and Half Domes.

City of Rocks, Idaho. Scream Cheese. These granitic rocks have a crust known as "case hardening," which breaks off producing chicken heads, plates, and other edges. See also, my Heuco Tanks photo in the geology album.

Birthday Girl, Mt Lemmon, AZ. I always have a hard time on this route. Beautiful rock near Windy Point.

Capo S. Vito, northwestern Sicily. December 23, with my great friend, Gianni Battemelli

El Cap. Lower pitch of The Nose. Yosemite

Oahu, Hawaii. Strings allow one to pull top rope thru anchors

possible new routes in CO. West of Buena Vista. I have a Bosch. Hoping to find someone with time and medium sense of adventure.

Blue Mountains, Australia. Phil leads on ironstone wall

Cliff with no climbs yet Front Range, CO.

Kalymous, Grande Grotto. Better than a barking dog

Blue Mounds, MN. We are climbing on Sioux quartzite with glacier super-polished surface.

Kalymnos, Greece. Going there mid-Oct is probably too late.
