The passion for climbing is one that few know. Congratulations on the new book edition http://www.yosemitebigwall.com/ @alexhonnold on The Muir Wall or off The Muir Wall during this attempt. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpWghYBu6F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bvzycammx4np

Guess the route first and I'll send you a signed print. Kelly Cordes on??? This one is hard so here's a big hint. Often an early season route on the same formation as mentioned in the image of me jumping into the lake.

Photo courtesy of @jessehuey . We climbed the Smear of Fear and afterwards Jesse demanded I jump in the lake for the shot. He basically said I owed him for how much of a pain I'd been in the past as a photographer. It was freezing and he asked me to do it "one more time" three times. #earlyseasonmixed #mcurious vimeo.com/ondemand/thepark

Bruce Miller steady as ever on ??? Be the first to name that formation and I'll send you a print. You can watch the film at vimeo.com/thepark Hint, I shot this while filming my passion project The Park and it is real close to the lake and formation in the next image. #alpineclimbing #mcurios #thepowerofnaturecanbeintoxicating (at Colorado)

Well hello again, it's been a long time. My account was hacked and thanks to the good people at Instagram I am back on line. The content was stolen (though mostly backed up) leaving me with a blank canvas which I find very exciting. Stay tuned, the gnar is on the horizon.

@instagram, do you really do nothing when your users are hacked?

No matter how much preparation you do, it all comes down to execution. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in preparation. Whether it is running uphill and lifting heavy objects, deliberating over everything you carry or writing and drawing and watching and listening. Climbing and the arts are not done until they have been done. Everything else is preparation. After 7 years this film is now available at vimeo.com/ondemand/thepark .

I captured this image while out with my friends Kevin Cooper and Bruce Miller on Mt. Meeker.  We knew of a seldom forming line that had been climbed by Duncan Ferguson and others long ago and were pretty excited to climb and capture footage of it.  That image does not lie, Kevin was swinging blind and it was as nasty of a day as it looks.  You can find stories of this amazing place and the wild characters that love it in my new film "The Park" vimeo.com/ondemand/thepark .  You can also find images for print by visiting my site at dickeyphoto.com/Prints/The-Park .  I hope you value these stories and these protected lands as much as we do.

The Park

A passion project that took 7 years.  From fellow story tellers to climbing partners tolerating my camera I am deeply grateful. It is an amazing feeling to see this project come to fruition.

I hope this story serves as a reminder of how important our public lands are and how the pursuit of our passions keeps us moving forward in life.

It’s very difficult for female artists historically to garner a lot of attention, and then you add the sexual identity issues—I think all of those things kept her out of the mainstream.

Joe Lucchesi, consulting curator for the Smithsonian American Art Museum

For years, artist Romaine Brooks was marginalized and nearly forgotten. 

Her androgynous appearance and choice to portray predominantly female subjects bucked convention in the early 20th century, and her work has been misinterpreted or overlooked in the mainstream since. 

A new exhibition at our @americanartmuseum brings together Brooks’ paintings and drawings with insight into her identity. Breaking from previous shows that largely ignored the artist behind the art, it reflects the recent cultural shift in how museums and society discuss issues of gender and sexuality.

Mt Hooker, I've gone back to it each season for the last 3 years and not sure I'll be able to pull it off this round. Fingers crossed I find at least a small window to get back in there.

@mikeylikesrocks cleaning while he waits out the storm. What to do what to do while sitting in the wall, the challenge lies ahead but you don't even consider attempting TR all things clear. So in the mean time, coil some ropes, organize the bags and have a beer. #walllife

@lauren.gregg on the road with @skratchlabs in Boulder. @lentinealexis taught us the proper rice cake technique this morning with bacon of course.

Walking around in the rain, it comes with the territory. Here #joshwharton cruises around outside of our base camp below Mt Hooker in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, just waiting for it to pass.
