One of the best things I've ever done was to spontaneously hike and climb up Montserrat, in Catalonia, Spain. The feeling of achievement after 3 hours to be rewarded with one of the best views I've ever seen compares only to finishing my first marathon. That rush that makes you want to do it all over again..!
To my Flicker Friends, this summit photo is for you! An amazing day! 1290 Metres to climb via snowshoes....

One of the places my wife and I visited while in Jordan was Wadi Rum, famous in the West as being the desert in which T.E. Lawrence and Emir Faisal led a revolt during World War I.
On the evening we arrived, we met Moslam, who is an expert climber and Bedouin guide. Thankfully for me, his English was good and his French was excellent, so we were able to have a long conversation about Wadi Rum, Bedouin culture, and relations between the U.S. and the Arab world. Mosalem told me that he has been a climber all his life, first learning the Bedouin way, and then later spending time in the French Alps learning how to climb with various types of cutting-edge climbing gear. He is so good at what he does that he often gets calls from around the world to consult on climbing strategies and gear recommendations. He leads foreign visitors to Wadi Rum on climbs, which he likes a great deal, but he said that there is nothing he enjoys more than climbing without any gear at all, hugging the rocks, in the Bedouin style he learned as a child.

Mitch really liked the harbour because there were lots of things for him to climb on. He found this tall pile of lobster pots and was up the top really quickly because he's a great climber!
Three BNSF units grind up grade with a heavy, loaded Powder River coal train. I'd guess the speed was 7-10 mph, the sand was doing it's job. Two GE's and one EMD are on the head end. Bozeman Tunnel is behind me.
Porto.
Just a peephole while climbing the narrow stairway. Not for claustofobics.
Clérigos church tower was the tallest structure in Portugal when completed in 1763 (the national record is now Lisbon's Vasco da Gama Tower), and as the main feature of the city's skyline, ships used it as a guide when coming into Cais da Ribeira.
It's a remarkable baroque landmark designed by the Italian architect Nasoni, who also designed the adjoining church. It has become a popular tourist attraction for the aerial view of the city from the top (76 meters up -- after a steep flight of 240 steps).

Popular with hikers and climbers, Pilot Rock stands out as one of the most striking features of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The remnant of an ancient volcano, Pilot Rock is visible from much of the Shasta Valley in northern California and parts the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon. Over time, the exterior volcano eroded away, leaving behind the impressive columnar basalt of the ancient volcano's central vent. Fossil sites in the vicinity of Pilot Rock contain leaf impressions and conifer cones that became embedded in volcanic ash beds 25 to 35 million years ago.
The south face of Pilot Rock provides some of the best technical climbing opportunities in southwestern Oregon. Seven technical routes exist on Pilot Rock. To date, four of the routes have conservatively placed fixed anchors. To protect peregrine falcons and their nesting productivity at Pilot Rock, the south and east sides of Pilot Rock are subject to seasonal closures from February 1 to July 30 each year. These seasonal climbing restrictions may be lifted if the BLM determines that peregrine falcons are not nesting or confirms that their young have fledged and moved far enough away from the rock face to avoid disturbance by climbers.
Please note, new fixed anchors cannot be placed without prior BLM authorization.

The Director of Operations sent me an email, asking for some photos of the new children's play area. It opened last winter, but photos they have on file had bare trees and snow on the ground. I was happy to get some new snaps.
It wasn't until I had this image on my computer screen that I realized that the equipment is designed to resemble an elephant. When I pointed it out to the director of operations, he said, "Now, I can't un-see it!"

Sometimes people just want to look fancy. On Tuesday, Sportrock Alexandria offered a chance to do just that with their sixth annual Penguin Climb on April 15. At the event, both ladies and gentlemen are encouraged to dig deep through their closets to find their “best” formal wear to come climb.
Who says that prom dresses can only be worn once? Though after climbing in it, there is a chance that dress may never be worn again. Though, this year, it’s been re-branded as Tux Day, in honor of 1040s everywhere.

I realized that this looks like she's climbing a tall wall. I like it better that way.
She brought her husband. Normally, that's bad news if a model brings one, but her husband amused me.
I cable-triggered my 285HV off of the G7's hotshoe, so it's just one light to the side. Cables bite, but now that I've got the FlashZebra adapters, cable sync is more reliable than optical sync.
Here Serkan is attempting a route called Dracon 5.14b in the West Desert of Utah.
