This is probably the most beautiful and moving website and blog on hiking and climbing that I know. The personal blog of my friend Chris. The writing is powerful and the photographs are absolutely stunning. He reminds me every time I read his entries of why I love the mountains and get out there.

With his photography, the parking lot of Walmart would seem like an epic endeavor.
His photos are amazing and the HDR he uses just makes them better. Also his climbing takes him into perfect locations for good photos. Without a doubt a top blog to follow on the web.
Martin, I am also an very avid and serious photographer. Chris and I have often discussed the legitimacy and potential of HDR and come to the same conclusions: that it must accurately depict how we felt the scene was, but not add anything that wasn't really there. His use of it is quite wonderful.
Another fan here.
Every post has expletive inducing photography.
Wow! I'm speechless with admiration!
I have considered HDR and also believe a photo should depict what was there. Photo shop should develop the photo to depict what we viewed and not manipulate it to be something we did not see. HDR is fine with me and I have considered it on my own blog. Chris uses HDR honestly with out a doubt and it makes his blog stand out. He also is a fine writer – which could be overlooked by the high level of the photos.
