For some pictures made in the Chilean Andes see this page.
alto_astral.gif (about 50k) boaviagem.jpg (about 70k): Logo of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. And the beach I lived near when I was there.
blencathra.gif (200k): Scan of a postcard of the mountain Blencathra in the Lake District, England. Good backdrop (I use xloadimage -xzoom 198 -yzoom 262 -onroot).
tryfan-w.jpg (54k): Nice picture of Tryfan in North Wales.
fisherfield.jpg (27k): Picture of a very wet camping trip in Fisherfield in Scotland. That hill in the background is a good 1000 meters high.
earth.gif (400k): Picked this satellite photo of earth off the net some time ago. Good backdrop (I use xloadimage -zoom 34 -onroot for a number of small copies, or xloadimage -zoom 175 -onroot for one large copy).
cairngorms.gif (66k): Detail of a photo where I stand on top of a cairn in the Cairngorms, Scotland. OK, so I'm an egomaniac!
joris.gif (k) lieveke.gif (k) jaco.gif (k): (to come) And here's the rest of the family.
: (1280k) Picture I took in September '93 in the Candian Rockies, along highway ?, not far North of Lake Louise. Big, but worth it.
guadagnolo.jpg (99k): Climbing in Guadagnolo, the highest village in Lazio. That's near Rome in Italy. I'm descending Masso Caduto, grade 6A (French) or 5.9 (USA). That's about my limit.
terminillo.jpg (180k): The exceptional view from Monte Terminillo (2210 or so meters) towards Gran Sasso (at 3km the highest mountain in the panorama). Central Italy.

A number of pictures of Castor or Castore (4221m) in the Breithorn-Lyskamm area in the European Alps in September 1999. The first two pictures show the descent and ascent respectively via the West side (starting from the Valle d'Ayas, staying overnight either at the Mezzalama or Guide Ayas refuge, and passing over Colle di Verra). Difficulty PD. The third picture shows the first part of the final crest from below the bergschrund. The fourth picture looks down the normal South-East route (difficulty F) to Colle di Felik. The final picture is montage of two pictures taken from the Valle d'Ayas; from left to right Pollux or Polluce (4091m), Castor (4221m), and Punta Felik (4088m). Click on the pictures for a larger version; they're all between 170k and 300k.

(150k) And this is in Gran Sasso, namely the Calderone, Europe's most Southerly (small) glacier (just the fringes are visible). The left-to-right sloping gully and central plateau make for a nice scramble.

This is Pequeno Alpamayo (5376m) in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia on 30 July 2000, with Tarija on the left via which we ascended.

This is a view towards Condoriri.

This is Willa Lojeta in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia on the 5th of August 2000. It's around 5200 meters high, and just a stroll to get to the top (although if you return via the glacier proper you'll need roping up as seen in this picture).

and here's me on top and a detail of the whole picture.

This is Mulla Apacheta in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia on the 6th of August 2000. It's around 5350 meters high.

This is a view towards from the high camp (~5750m) at Huyana Potosi.

This is a view of Sajama, the highest mountain in Bolivia (~6500m). We managed to ascend to the highest camp, at 5590m. The face depicted here is 2500m high!

Some pictures from a week in Scotland in January 2001. Beinn Alligin and Sgurr Ruadh.

Here are some pictures from the 2001 holiday in the Alps. On the top of the Dom (4545m). And a nice evening in the Domhutte

A view on Breithorn (4160m).
