2000 Summer Rock Climbing TripWell, it’s that time of year again, when the summer is over and all that is left are photos and work. As I mentioned a year ago, this summer I was going to climb bigger, longer, and harder. I managed all three and then some. Basically this summer fell into 3 distinct time periods which I will call pre-Austria(Garage and East coast), Austria(Glaciers and other extremes), and post-Austria(Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho). I met up with good people and arrived home safely. Below are some brief meandering descriptions and photos of my trips. Enjoy!Pre Austria, My garage, Franklin, Seneca, Nelson Rocks, and Looking Glass Austria and Glaciers, Out West again! |

Enjoy!The Ramp, and Double Book Dome, near Billings Gallatin Tower, Dragon's Back, and Spire Rock, near Bozeman and Butte |
