Mount Hooker - Third Eye Free Var.

Since my adventures in the Winds with Dave Sharratt and Taki Miyamoto this past August my traveling has been nonstop. In fact, last week I was home for two days after a Chuck Fryberger filming project at the New River Gorge stoked to be back in my own king size bed, and then the weather crapped out so I split… now I’m in

Blast from the past - Free climbing the Vampire Spire

By :) Pat Goodman with 0 Comments

The Vampire Peaks from the seat of a DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver float plane piloted by Warren LaFauve.

We are standing on a summit in Canada‘s North West

Poseidon - God of the sea! The Grande Grotta. “They come from drips” the Kalymnian shepherd blurted to me as he pointed skyward to the ice cycle like stalactites hanging in random order on the underside of the Grande Grotta.

That said, I decided to take advantage of an opportunity that allowed me three and a half days in the area and I thought the adventure would be

Moderate Madness

So, I don’t have much time but I thought it proper for a little update! The Winds were great. They certainly lived up to the reputation, big and windy. We spent about 17 days in the wilderness and climbed a bunch. I got a tad bit excited about the boulders and thrashed my shoulder bad enough that I

Going to visit the Hooker.

By :) Pat Goodman with 2 Comments

In a few days I will be traveling to the Wind River Range in Wyoming with Dave Sharratt. Our intention is to climb the massive, 1,800' North face of Mount Hooker, hopefully free. The Winds are remote to put it simply and are highest range in the Wyoming-Idaho-Montana group. It also contains the largest system of glaciers in
