  • Mount Edwards and Grays Peak Overnight

    My dad suggests this overnight outing with an unusual approach to Grays Peak, the highest peak on the continental divide. We start in a valley to the west of the peak after six miles of bumpy road driving. Climbing meadows covered in wildflowers, we reach our last opportunity to camp just as thundershowers move in.…

  • Donner Pass – heat escape at grouse slab

    Donner Pass is a good spot for hot days. The shady roadside crags are crowded, but grouse slab is a little out of the way and fairly quiet. We get ourselves to the crag early enough to catch a couple of routes in the shade. One other couple from the bay area joins us until…

    This fine watch retailer directory was nearly finished and already used Geo Mashup, but wanted a feature to list nearby boutiques that carry a particular brand. If there are no nearby boutiques or the user doesn’t want to divulge their location, a random list of boutiques is generated.

  • Algae Systems Slideshow

    I coded the slideshow on the homepage for this green energy company. The site was designed by Free Range Studios and produced by Vernal Creative.
