Additional Description

General

21 SLEEVES. I went to Eagle Nest for a week to work on a book in peace: My second day it snowed. I've climbed Devisadero almost daily for decades. Most of these pictures were an attempt to find illustrations for a New Mexico Magazine article published in March 1999. Pretty uninteresting pictures. Eventually, NM Magazine did use 5 shots for a Devisadero article, 2 of which were totally nebbish. But, hey, look what they had to choose from!
