He's from Indiana, but it's not his fault. He was my first climbing partner, the guy I learned with. It was a mutual path of potentially fatal learning experiences (that's a nice, non-profane way of saying what we nearly did to ourselves on a number of ocassions!)

I really haven't climbed with Tom in a while. I'm calling him "The Terrier" because he's been doggedly chasing the same goal for half-a-dozen years!
Recently, besides being highly sought-after, he climbed Cloud Peak...
...in the rain.
Tom on the coldest day on record, 1989, after a little ice climbing...
Yeah, some of these pictures are kinda old. Maybe some people could send me some newer ones, I could post more heroic-lookin' stuff, EH?!
Just a thought...
