Freshies - Volcano Tour with Chris Davenport

May 22, 2012

Welcome to the second installation of Freshies; a series of posts intended to get right to the most important part of the program: the photography. In this round: The Volcano Tour with Chris Davenport

I feel very fortunate to have been included on two outstanding ski missions with one of my heroes of the sport, the legendary Chris Davenport, the only person to have skied all 54 of the 14,000 ft. peaks in Colorado in a single year, Everest guide, world champion extreme skier and, wouldn't you know it, super nice guy.

Lucky for me, this month he set his sights on all of the volcanos in the Pacific Northwest, knocking out 15 volcanos in 14 days.  This is beyond belief given that this included such monster climbs as Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shasta and all three Sisters mountains, each in single day outings.  I joined Chris, Jess McMillan and the rest of the crew for classic spring conditions on Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens.  Here are some of my favorite Freshies from the trip.

Drop a line and lemme know what you think!
