Photos by Mark Niles — I climbed with Michael for nearly two decades, from the early days of lycra-clad bolt clipping to long trad routes in the Sierra and Needles. After ascending 280 routes solo in a day at Joshua Tree, Michael wondered if he could leave his rope in a closet for a year. That year never ended … We were partners always, and where I could not follow, my lens endeavored to capture his passion for climbing without a net.  Michael Reardon Tribute Gallery
Photos by Damon Corso — Petrala.com — Blessed is the word that best describes my time spent with Mike Reardon over the past couple of years. Upon our first time climbing and shooting together we instantly formed a bond greater than just friendship. He became my brother, my protector and my mentor. As you can see through this gallery of images, Mike and I did just about anything we wanted, wherever we wanted (in SoCal). The following images have been compiled from our trips to Joshua Tree, The Needles and Buildering in Los Angeles, sights I'm sure you have all become familiar with when you think of ‘Uncle’ Mikey. I hope these images will inspire you to push your limits not just in rock climbing but life as well ... climb on Mike.  California's Sierra Nevada Mountains
