Wow Mark, you sky-dived! I had a really hard time getting over that rock lip - I think I would have to be pushed from the plane! Thanks, Ron Hey Carl, Touching the Void is an amazing book.

I am also one not too thrilled with heights. It probably wasn't wise for me then to jump out of an airplane, but I did that once and what a feeling of exhilaration it was. I can't really say that fear is now gone, because I think I would be just as nervous, perhaps more so doing this because you can see the ground a lot easier! :) I might have to try that 'convincing to take up extreme sports for photo ops' technique!

No worries, for the most part my feet are staying firmly planted on solid, not to vertical, ground! I read Touching the Void, need to see the film. Awesome story! I guess I should have been more concerned with Ron's interest in my learning to rappel, especially in light of the insurance policy he recently took out on me....LOL... just kidding!

Don't you go getting all crazy with this mountain stuff now, though. Have you seen "Touching the Void"? I like how "Specifically, he (Ron) had developed this desire for me to learn to rappel." I got a chuckle outta that one. :) :) :) Cheers Carl hey Janine

Very well written article, especially the part about Josh and I being nice people ;) Just kidding. I'll have to keep up with your blog now that I know where to find it. I love the site and the photos - keep up the good work! Janine, if you find yourself tiring of being famous, just tell Ron to use one of the shots of me hanging off that monster overhang =) Ron and Janine:

I have been wondering what you have been up to, and if you completed your many projects you had going. We will have to get caught up when I get back. We are looking forward to getting back to Alaska - it does seem strange to not be up there right now. See you soon, Ron Hey Calvin,

I have been enjoying your blog, and seeing all the great shots you are piling up along the way. Glad to see the trip being productive, and also apparently fun. Great job w the writing Janine. Such a multi-talented lady. And Ron, great job getting your lovely bride to hang off a cliff! She is already a famous covergirl, this shot may well produce another. Alaska is blooming like crazy. Great flower year. A little late on the peninsula, which should work out nicely for you. I look forward to catching up when you make it back home. Calvin Thank you for the ongoing entertainment!

That's hilarious in an almost twisted kind of way. “Specifically, he had developed this desire for me to learn to rappel”. That’s hilarious in an almost twisted kind of way.
