I would guess that "All That Glitters" is in the southern region. Probably at the Gallery. Just a hunch...

Cassel Photography will be fully functional by Monday April 4th. I just received an email from my web host explaining the issues you all have been seeing when viewing the Gallery. Their T-1 line has been operating at 40% since Monday, due to a network backbone issue that was out of their control. This caused a severe delay when trying to download the images in the Gallery. Sometimes you could get a few, and then the system would lock up. Other times, the Gallery wouldn’t load at all, even though you have the latest version of the Macromedia Flash player.

Hopefully, after Monday, you will be able to view the Gallery in blazing speed, as it was optimized, long as you are on a broadband network.

Once again, thank you for all of your comments and you patience. For those of you who have been able to view the Galleries, I hope you have enjoyed them.

Please keep checking the site, as new content will be loaded on a regular basis.

Seriously, the fades just bog things down.

The new Black Diamond catalog has a Ben Cassel photo and several other photos by other photographs of climbs in the red. At least one was from Muir and I think I rememeber that the others were from the Southern region.

An interesting note about the cover is that the dude climbing (Bayard Russell) is the dude who chopped the bolts on thin air (a classic NH trade route). This started a huge war in the area. It was covered in all the mags, websites, etc. And it looks like he just clipped a bolt in the photo.

Yep, one was from Muir, one was from Roadside, and the other was from the southern region.
