Most of the climb up the West Buttress is snow slogging with heavy loads. We would carry a load of food and fuel up to the next camp a few thousand feet higher, ski back down with empty packs, then pack up everything the next day and bring it all up to that next camp. This not only makes each...

I'm going to break this into 4 threads because I got a lot of shots on a 19 day trip up the standard West Buttress route in 2005. This was my first expedition using a digital camera. I went with a Canon Rebel XT for it's light weight with an 18-125mm Sigma lens. I brought a solar charger which...

These were taken on a trip to AK 12 years ago. I climbed, and attempted to ski, from the summit as a 50th b-day gift to myself. Afterward my wife came up and we rented a car for a two week tour where I shot these when we drove into Wonder Lake. Wonder-Lake-(4) by Jim Dockery posted Feb 7, 2018...

Taken on a great day of back-country skiing at Stevens Pass WA. Heather-Ridge-1.25-(56) by Jim Dockery posted Feb 6, 2018 at 5:23 PM

Mt. Index is one of the easiest access dramatic peaks in the Cascade mountains of Washington, sitting right next to Hwy 2 not far from Seattle. It's north peak is also one of the hardest to reach, with no easy way up (or down). In the summer it presents an interesting mix of hard to protect...

I held my RX100 IV steady and shot continuous while my partner skied down this back-country ridge near Stevens Pass WA on a great day of powder skiing. Layered the best in PS then copied and blended just the skier from the top layers into the final layer. Heather Ridge 1.25 Powder Turn Hd by...

I got up around 2 am for a headlamp hike to get here before sunrise. Well worth it, even if there weren't many good clouds (typical summer morning).

This is one of the main peaks I can see from where I live (south of this location). I've climbed it a number of times and slept on top (the right hand summit) a couple times, so I have a personal connection to it. I stopped to get this shot while driving home from a nice winter walk with my...

Taken yesterday on the drive back from a nice walk on the Whitehorse trail with my wife. The Three Fingers are especially prominent from this vantage point, although you can't see that the right hand peak is actually the highest.

I guess these could fit in travel also, and I might do another color post there. This was on the biggest expedition of my life - climbing in two fantastic areas - in the USSR before it dissolved. The pictures here are from a chopper flight into The Tian Shan range on the Chinese border where we...

My wife and I drove the high elevation Trail Ridge road a couple times a few summers ago while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. On our last traverse I insisted on staying for sunset at some limber pines I'd seen on a ridge above the road. She walked up with me while I scouted them, but a...

I lived in Germany for ~8 years in the 80s teaching for the Department of Defense Schools. Most of those summers were spent climbing in the Alps, with a lot of the time around Chamonix France. Descent off The Triolet On The Walker Spur, Grand Jorasse Climbing the North Face of Les Courtes...

Taken from the 14,000 camp on the standard West Buttress route up Denali.

Mt. Pilchuck is the closest mountain to my house (~40 min. to the trailhead) with a pretty easy 3 mile 2,000 ft. climb to the summit. I've climbed it more than any other peak (5 times in one week once - when doing multiple laps/day), normally to back-country ski in the spring. I love the views...
