Frank Rodgers
Frank is now a dad and a California State Firefighter (Captain) who resides in Nevada City.
In his former glory days, he was a high school math teacher, volunteer firefighter, and
Boy Scout adviser who engaged in many life endangering sports such as scuba diving,
cross-country skiing (in the wild back-country), downhill skiing (backwards to take videos
of his friends), and more. He enjoys kayaking and climbing, obviously, as seen in these pictures.
Enjoy these wild pictures of his kayaking and climbing!

Seal Launch
"Seal Launch" (for obvious reasons, according to Frank) I'm still waiting for Frank to tell me the location, date, and photographer. Evidently this photo was taken in 2000.
I love this photo (for colors, balanced composition, etc.), but . . . gulp . . . that's my beloved son sailing off a cliff in a little kayak!!! |
Yosemite's Leaning Tower
Frank on a trip to Yosemite Valley. Here he sits atop Leaning Tower, 1000 ft. off the floor of Yosemite Valley. Bridleveil Falls is behind him on the left. El Capitan, the prominent background feature, rises about 3000 ft. off the Valley's floor to an elevation of about 7000 ft. above sea level.
June 1999 |
Portaledge
Tony and Chuck on a portaledge. Photo looks down about 2500 ft of El Capitan (Yosemite Valley). Yes, those are the tops of very tall trees you see at the bottom. The longest route up El Capitan is 3300 feet. Routes have taken, variously, 4, 5, and 6 days up the face.
