oh my god! Are those colors for real? You should send that into the Gallery at R&I or climbing. That's a cover shot if you ask me.
too bad the bolts break under static weight
That's so great to get your mom out climbing! Mine wouldn't even try it in the gym!
your dad is so cool! I wish my dad would have taken me up incredible rock climbs!
wow! This kid rocks!
Hmm, let's look at the photos you've submitted. Oh, there aren't any. Maybe you shouldn't critique something you know nothing about.
I can give you the girl beta for sure! Especially if you're of the shorter variety, my beta will probably help. Let me know when you're coming up!
Abs of steel. That's my hubby!
I don't. I blew my onsight trying to go right there. It just doesn't work for my height to go that way.
poor metering
What climb is it?
where is this? It looks incredible!
Seem tilted and staged. Usually when I cut my feet, my thighs are not plastered on the rock. Hmmm.
fill flash would make this better. If you can, try to get the eyes. Nice shot overall
Looks like Stratocaster.
Can you get bigger footholds?
Show some skin, man!!!
well, it's a cool shot, but the image quality isn't very good. I think that's why the ratings are low.
I gave it a 10 due to pete's funny comment.
yeah, it's about time we get half naked guys! Equal opportunity!
oh, but if it was Oli you would be happy she was in a sleeveless shirt. I think he looks good in a tank
heck yeah! check out those guns.
I wanna go to australia!
wow, that is framed so nicely and the colors are magnificent. That's so much better than the pix that are rated higher than it. People are just so biased to seeing half naked women.
doesn't look that hard to me.
that's gotta be photoshopped!
Why, yes... there was a thread about drilled holds at Sinks and I think that is a perfect example of what I was talking about.
Thanks for going to all the work to make this topo and post it. I can't wait to check this area out. I've heard it's a pretty neat cave.
It was really cold that day!
Miah- you are such a bad-ass! That looks like a great route. Call us sometime- I want to do Leviation 29 in Vegas and I need a partner!
it's closed :(
This is the best bouldering pic I've seen on this site. You boys need to give higher ratings even though it's not a girl in a small top. ;)
Wow- is it all shirtless boys there on Vancouver Island? I'll have to let my friend Mary know.
maybe all the ratings are soft where you climb- it's not about grades anyways.
damn- that's a hard problem!
I think her tatoos actually take away from the shot a little. It's kind of distracting cause you look at the tats instead of the climb.
Yeah, it's totally reactionary grading by silly boys.
This is one of my favorite photos, cause it's the essence of sport climbing for me.
Anna is my inspiration since I am also only 5 feet tall. I wish I could boulder with her at Hueco and get some beta!
Oh, I want to get on that climb- it looks like my style!
Soft- you're cute. I love how people's egos cause them to sandbag everything.
But I bet it's a serious hike to get there. Looks like one of the walls off of the RR loop road that I always stare lustfully at, but know it would take forever to get to any of them
That pocket your left hand is in looks pretty suspicious...
Wow! There should be more climbing photos of men like this! Women are exploited enough, it's men's turn now!
nice photo, but seems like it's a little overexposed (I'm not an expert, though)
That's a pretty cool shot. I love the action- obviously not posed!
looks like a car ad...
Super fun route, but no way is it 12c! It's a great warm-up for the other routes on the wall.
You boys are sooooo pitiful. Can't you say other comments about women besides how sexy or cute they are? What about how strong they look? Or just how it's a great shot because of the lighting? Go get yourself laid already.
What an awesome shot. That guy rocks! What an inspiration.
There's something absoultely wonderful about attractive boys hanging from rocks.
Sweet pic! Those are some sexy back muscles. Too bad you couldn't get a little more light on his face.
Man, that's quite a shot. They should use that in Physical Therapy School. That's why I don't do highballs, no matter how easy they are! Not even Melon Patch, V0
All the hueco locals say it's the same whether you start like I am in the pic or in the drop knee.
Heck yeah, that's me! See I really do trad climb!
That problem looks super cool- where is it?
Don't fall too in love- she's married! Great shot though, despite all the fixation with her boobs, it's not a "boob shot". And yes, her elbow is hyperextended ("bent backwards"). Many females' elbows do this.
It that Heather Johnson-Smith? Did she send it? That would be awesome!
Wow! He is soooo amazing. Look at how huge is forearm is! Great shot.
This is a great shot! I love the look on his face and how you caught him an instant before he grabs that hold!
Who cares about his hair- that guy has some sweet guns! Nice photo too.
Addiroids- that is so funny, this is the 3rd pic I've seen of Amber and those were my thoughts exactly! I resisted my impulses for the other 2 pics, but when I saw your comment, I couldn't resist. Amber, eat some protein!
Oh man, me too! I finally sent it with some sweet beta from Nico Favresse. I had to eliminate the dyno to be able to do it.
Ha, ha. Also, that's pretty liberal use of the word peaks. They're more like big hills.
Actually, that's the least spoogy hold of all of them. The next one is pretty spoogy, especially if it's sunny and over 40 degrees. Great pic, as usual.
Scary! do they bite?
I hope his owner doesn't often leave him tied up on his choke chain. That is cruel.
Wish I could have submitted in larger format. This small size doesn't do the colors and details justice.
Nice shot, Hillary. Hope Alex doesn't mind you approaching strange men who are partially clothed ;)
I've never encountered loose rock at Jack's and I've done over 80% of the routes there. Red Rocks is way looser!
Still trying to convince my hubby he wants to do this with me in May....
Good thing you weren't wearing a string bikini! That's why bikini's are so impractical for climbing. You would have lost that thing for sure.
Nice shot. Yeah, I was wondering about the tension in the rope too. Is it A0? ;)
looks chossy to me...
Looks like Datil.
Going left was way easier for me- right seemed impossible for my height...
well, I'm no yoga miester, that's for sure... I'd rather be climbing any day
I wish there were negative stars. This is by far the lamest pic ever to be posted on a site that's supposed to be about ROCK CLIMBING
shows why sport climbing is awesome- so overhanging for 11a, amazing!
Great pic! I love it, being 7 months preggo myself! Hope you guys are still climbing- the kiddo must be about 2 by now!
For the intelligent comments: it's just a full body harness, made by Petzel, mostly for industrial uses (maybe caving? I dunno), and there's not a whole lot known about climbing when pregnant, but I've known quite a woman who have climbed up to their due dates.
I love how all the negative comments are from men. Just another example of how they desire to tell us what we can do with our bodies...
Uh, actually I did fall and the rope caught me! The baby did not die. She's actually quite smart and I think it's cause of all the climbing I did while pregnant
