I always like the Alabama Hills. I climbed Whitney in the 70's, nothing like you did up the front face, but it was a major deal for me.

Nice rendition. This scene is a natural for B&W and your old slide provided a nice image for the conversion.

Ha! My husband & I had an epic on Keeler Needle a few decades ago involving snow, rapelling a traversing pitch over verglas, a failed anchor (the back-up held, but I went from looking my husband in the face to looking at his feet in a nanosecond), stepping in a snowcap while wearing a pack that towered way over my head & sent me cartwheeling down the slope, way too much of a hydration drink that had a stimulant that mimicked altitude sickness so we kept drinking more.... ah, to be young again!

Nice, Jim. It's easy to try to include too much there (usually the multitude of boulders). You have just enough to give the information that there are all those boulders, with the tallest one echoing Whitney.An old slide scan converted with Silver FX

Monika, I also climbed Keeler (original E face route) back in the early 80s. Hardest part for us was hauling all our gear for 5 days climbing up into the basin below the face on a hot day.
