Multnomah Falls, Oregon
I got this shot on a recent run in the Gorge while visiting family. We ran the Wakena-Multnomah loop about 6 miles, it was a blast.

The second falls above Multnomah Falls
I also snagged this shot earlier in the run on the way down Multnomah creek.

The SE Face of Russell Peak near Berthoud Pass.
Had a nice day of skiing on the Westside of Berthoud Pass today. I got a nice looking Panoramic taken with wide angle though.

I wanted Dreamweaver badly today, but as the below image shows…it wasn’t in.

Dreamweaver is the right hand snow line, but it was not enough for a solo
The wind also aided my decision to take it easy.

The wind was alive up there, looking along Lady Washington's South Face.
Despite this, I found an excellent stash of ice below Chasm Lake. I monkeyed around for a bit with a little ice climbing and a little dry tooling. Good times!

The ice flows from Chasm Lake above. This was taken after my play time.

Along the base of the ice flows.
Naturally, I was alone and without a tripod. Therefore, I have no really cool self portraits of my climbing.

First attempt at this Layer Mask business....not sure if I'm a fan yet.
Here’s what I did with Photoshop, the background image is the standard photo, then next layer is the BW. I colored the BW layer with Black on the bottom half (the color section) this brought through the colors of the original background….well, see if I get better.
