Skipow Visuals is producing a documentary on some of our local athletes in the Wenatchee Valley. We asked Adam Mckenney (owner of LMS) if he would help us and he kindly agreed. We are doing interviews and filming the athletes participating in their favorite sports. Here are a few still shots from an early morning in our beloved Tumwater Canyon which in it flows the majestic and magical Wenatchee River.
Weinstein Pepsi Shoot

The film company Protagonist from L.A. was up filming a story about the Weinstein beverage company. The shoot was sponsored by Pepsi who is highlighting the efforts of a few of their top distributors. Filming took place over August 7th and 8th 2009. All locations were in and around Moses Lake and Wenatchee Washington. I was asked to shoot the crew, the filming process and Pepsi products. Here are some of my favorite images of the cast and crew.
Colchuck Glacier Ski
Colchuck glacier rises to an elevation of 8000ft and separates Dragontail from Colchuck Peak. The glacier is located in the heart of the Stuart Range and offers some spectacular skiing. The slope itself is relatively gentle with a maximum angle of around 35 degrees but the terrain you are surrounded by is extreme. The cliffs of Dragontail rise over 2000ft and drop directly into the glacier.
First ascent of Dresden
Dan Cappellini successfully sent his most recent project at Duty Dome on April 22, 2009. The pitch is located just left of Bombs Away and climbs an arete, slabs, crack and face for a full 60 meters to a two bolt anchor. The pitch contains a mixture of cracks and bolts for protection. He names the pitch Dresden because of its close proximity to Bombs Away. Here is a short explanation of what happened in Germany from Wikipedia.
The Bombing of Dresden by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Force (USAAF) between 13 February and 15 February 1945, twelve weeks before the surrender of the Armed Forces (Wehrmacht) of Nazi Germany, remains one of the most controversial Allied actions of the Second World War. The raids saw 1,300 heavy bombers drop over 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices in four raids, destroying 13 square miles (34 km2) of the city, the baroque capital of the German state of Saxony, and causing a firestorm that consumed the city centre. Estimates of civilian casualties vary greatly, but recent publications place the figure between 24,000 and 40,000.
The pitch is thought to be in the mid 5.11 range.
