I belong to a generation of climbers who define success by style: for us, free climbing is a philosophy and a way of life. Our approach to the rock—clean, traditional climbing, with the least dependence on equipment. Lynn Hill

This is an archive of mainly rock climbing and geology photos taken during the last 30 years. The featured climbs include some of the finest moderate free routes in the Sierras. Featured climbers: Eric Collins, Tom Rogers, Wayne Campbell, Bill McConachie, Frank Baker, Bob Devany, Mark Landreth, Scott Smith, Stella and Lorenzo Ravagli, and my son Sascha.

This archive contains photos taken recently with a digital camera and old 35 mm color slides and black and white prints that I have scanned. The scanned slides and b&w prints were taken in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the photos have been enhanced using PhotoShop.
