MOUNTAIN.
International Expeditions, Climbing, Skiing & Mountain Adventure
Climbing mountains is the core of my spiritual life and a physical expression that has given me clear-eyed purpose across the decades. Within this historic MOUNTAIN journal, I’ve created photo essays from pioneering Himalayan expeditions to the Garhwal region of Northern India and the remote Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains of Eastern Tibet. I’ve also built vignettes around some of the life-affirming alpine adventures I’ve shared with the tribe of mountain adventurers, including my favorite climbing, skiing and mountain exploits, spanning Europe, Asia and the Americas.
