Hey folks,

So I just finished Blitzo's Nevada collection on the website. Trying to confirm where the following images were taken. He had them filed under Nevada and labeled them "Primm": There is a town called Primm and the mountain range looks right, but I was thrown off by the water....

Probably Ivanpah Dry Lake and or some salt ponds?

Yep, that's just the flat after a nice bit of rain. Right at the California-Nevada border; the 15 runs right through it. Primm kind of sits right where two such areas meet.

Beautiful Shot.

Edit: I just checked out http://blitzofoto.org Holy smokes, so much talent. Just an FYI, the image you have for the Colorado section, is actually an image of Turtlehead in Redrock Canyon, right outside of Las Vegas NV.

the tree face is out past Aberdeen rd over by the 247 or Yucca Mesa or something like that. I've seen it not that long ago, with the Bloot.

Blublocker will know for sure

Hiya Folks,

I have put a "Climb" portfolio on Blitzo's site. http://blitzofoto.org/collection/climb/

The only information I have for these images is whatever Blitzo titled them. Sometimes he titled them with name, place and year. Others have no real information.

Check it out at your leisure and if you have any information to add, please email me directly leighann . sulli AT gmail . com

Thanks you guys!!! I'll be adding more images throughout the week :)

IMG_8730 is Phil Bircheff leading something in the Alabama Hills.

Not sure of the name of the route, but Blitzo posted it on the TR thread:

Anyone Know about this one? Blitzo titled it "Slack" I specifically need to know if it was taken in JTNP. Thanks!

I'd go with Yes and my guess is Hall of Horrors…. although it's pretty close up and difficult to make out the features.

Most likely a random slackliner that Blitzo did not know but wanted to capture.

The 29 Palms Art Faire has chosen this image for Blitzo's memorial entry. He titled it "Cherry Bomb". Not sure if that is the person climbing (doubtful) or the name of the climb itself. Any info on this one would be greatly appreciated!
