Eastern Sierras: 35mm Capture
The bottom line:
Incredible new routes everywhere and its motivating.
My list is large…and knocking them off one hot, sweaty, buggy day at a time.
Temps are not cooling, and if anything it feels hotter.
Sticky, pasty and the cracks feel kinda humid.
Matt is in Lone Pine working away
so I decided to post
a few photographs of the area that I just had recently developed.
Going through the scans I came across these below, I am calling them the
These images are all 35mm film photographs,
hence the name.
We are so lucky! Beautiful skies and unreal vistas surround us daily- million dollar views.
Climbing up at the portal is probably one of the finest locations to be on planet earth. It’s all there.
The Eastern Sierras. It’s incredible everything.
Whether you are sleeping or climbing…at some point you will be dreaming of the Sierras- I can bet on it!
What now? Climb in the shade. Keep Hydrated. Use lots of chalk! I am off to the park!

Ultimate Escape by Tamara Hastie
Tamara Hastie of live.love.climb. shares the peace and serenity climbing brings to her life.
Why do I love to rock climb?
Let me count the ways……..
For the last ten years rock climbing has truly changed my life offering me my ultimate escape.
It re-organized my life completely into new perspectives.
Looking out from the base of a cliff I am surrounded only by beauty and serenity. Once up on the cliff, no matter if I am fifty or thousands of feet up, the perspective in my world changes every time. Just like true love, it never gets old; it just gets better every time I tie in to the rope.
I forget about bills, rent, work, oils spills, and ridiculous politics! It’s a time during which I really have little to no feelings about what is happening below; it is as though my mind is reborn every time I pick up my rack, put on my Mythos and commit myself to a climb.
It’s me, the movements, and the breezes that grasp the understanding of the code of a particular rock climb, breaking apart fears and expectations…learning what I am truly capable of achieving, physically and mentally. To truly better understand myself.
The population at large may not understand how very simple rock climbing actually is… a truly refreshing change of life’s stressful times on the ground below. I know that rock climbing will always be my ultimate escape.
Then I ask myself a good question:
Why on earth do I come down?
