THE SIERRAS
My son Justin spent ten years in the Bay area for undergrad and grad school, so I made many trips from Boulder to the Sierras to meet up and climb with him. I also climbed in these beautiful mountains with Chip Chace a few times. Click on any image below to see a full version and additional information.
