It's summer in Seattle, which means I have about two free minutes each day to get hours of things done. Hence IanOutThere has fallen by the wayside as my job with BOLD Mountain School, side projects, and personal climbing take precedence. I can't believe we're over halfway through the summer and that soon enough I'll be back in Nalifornia.

I had to take this breathe to publish a few photos from my personal climbing trips this summer. They have been infrequent but Pinnacle Peak (with its fantastic views of Rainer) and the East face of Chair Peak (with alpine style loose 5.2 face climbing and endless rappels) were both great days in the mountains. More ahead, sometime.
