MountainZone.com editorial pages
This is a collection of sites I designed at MountainZone.com between late 1999 and late 2000, when I held the position of Climbing Editor and before the Quokka "unidesign" took hold. The sites featured a then-standard 468x60 ad banner and MZ's klunky universal navigation bar, both of which are now gone. Massive ads and even chunkier, clunkier navigation have taken their place, leaving the sites looking very ... odd.
- Mountain Bike Training Tips: A small selection of tips for the two-wheel crowd. One of my favorite designs and the last before the Quokkafication.

- Phoenix Bouldering Contest: Soup to nuts, this one was all me: design and field reporting, shooting film stills, digi stills, and video. And I was sick as a dog.

- Highpoints Climbing News: An attempt to have regular climbing news on MZ. It was just starting to catch on when Quokka laid us off.

- Raid Gauloises 2000: Oh, those crazy adventure racers. Many of the events are over-hyped, but the Raid certainly isn't.
