Rockclimbing.com: Photo Comments

Geez, you guys should see me after I get out of a cave after like two miles of crawling! 
Sheesh.

LOOK CAREFULLY, and you can at left, a guy on El Cap Towers, and a guy on the Texas Flake. The dude in the red is going round the base of the huge dihedral on P.O. Wall. You can see buddy sitting on his portaledge. It is because of the amazing morning lighting and golden tone of the granite that this photo is my favourite!

I used to dreeeeeeeeeam of <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=1777">nude climbing</a> when it's so warm.....

What you guys and gals need to remember is that the <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/listSection.php?SectionID=1922">Southeast Face of El Cap</a> is incredibly concave. I was on a neighbouring route when I took this photo, and was shooting 100 ASA Fujichrome with my 100-300m zoom lens at F5. It really does look I took it from out in space! And when you get up there, Adds, you'll feel like you're in space!

Like, take OFF, eh?!

Oh my gosh! Ain't she just the cutest darn thing you've EVER seen? What a HOTTIE! I'm a total sucker for a girl with mud on her cheek! Woo-Hoo!

Holy frig! He's cheating! The draws are pre-clipped! Sheesh. Did you clip those for him, Richard?

Holy frig! It looks like emmenthal cheese! 
But I don't "get it" - what's with the bolts? Surely you could place some cams or tri-cams?

My first climbing shoes were EB's!

Holy! What a hottie!

Here's <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=3724">another drawing</a> of the knot that you can look at. I still prefer to tie my figure of 8 by tracing the ends through, rather than tying the "half a double fisherman's knot" on the end. Adam - please remove foot from mouth and consult dictionary for spelling.

Damn! That dude's cut.

Right on! I applaud stylistic purity!

I've led up to 11b trad, back in the days when I bothered to train. I'm not sure I could have cranked the nasty crux on that one. I'd give me 40-60 against off the couch, 75-25 for after a month in the Valley. 

 Hey, wait a minute.....what the hell do I care! I can lead A4+ off the couch!

Uh, like I did, eh? You wouldn't expect me to climb a wall without my solar powered shower, would you?

Are those Russian Aiders on the right there Richard?

Even Robbins wasn't that immodest, Ammon. He wrote either "....in American climbing." or in "....North American climbing."

But....but...how did you get the ropes up there???

Babe-O-Licious Beyond Belief! They should use you in the <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=9246&forum=19&1">Metolius catalogue!</a> 
Hottie.

Damn, Paul, my biceps were only half the size of Lisa's! She's a Female Bodybuilder! She told me that when I wanted to launder my clothes, I could use her abs as a washboard! I only have one other <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=1786">bicep photo</a> - otherwise I am known round the Bouldering Circuit as "Weiner Arms." 

 If you want to see some real biceps, then <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=4186">check out Neal!</a> Holy, is that boy cut! He told me he could climb Gunks 5.10 off the couch, and I verily believe him.

What the hell is going on with a bolted crack climb? Not on MY bloody crag, mate! Vandalism like that is a fricking disgrace! [Nice photo, though...]

Heckling from above: 

 "Hey, Hoser! Yeah, you - Dudley Do-Right with the schoolteacher pose! Hey, Mountie, like where's your horse, eh? 

 "Whaddya mean, 'come down'? Aww, take off, eh?! Like, why don't you come up and get us! Like, I thought you Mounties "always get your man!"

....if you don't mind rain....

Dang! I HATE it when she has bigger biceps than me. Sheesh.

Glad to see I got the exposure right... 

 So look, when it comes to climbing big walls, it's not just about the climbing, eh? It's also about facing down your fears. 

 When the first thing you do in the morning (after drinking your coffee, of course) is to jug out from your portaledge, fifty feet from the wall and fifteen hundred feet off the deck, you know it has to take some balls, er, uh, ovaries. 

 It means you have to have the passion, it means you have to have the desire, and it means you have to really want to succeed. 

 Yvette did great and I felt really proud of her.

No whippers, but Tom has tested his cams to failure, which I believe was in the approximately 5000+ pound range, making them more than twice as strong as commercially manufactured cams. 

 When Tom gets back on line in a few days, he'll be able to give you his empirical data, and link you to his website.

These machines are superb. They did not walk at all. 

 Tom'll be on line in another day or two and can give you the weight specs. The Valley Giants rock!

Have faith, and remember the name of the LORD - Yahweh Rapha, the LORD who heals.

Like, thanks for the beers, eh?

Cheers, mate!

I hope you took this on your way up the third pitch of Modern Times - what a killer pitch THAT is, eh?

Ha! I remember that one! The piece I left for you on the penultimate pitch of Excalibur. That was pretty amazing how that #4 Camalot rotated 90 degrees, yet still held your fall. 

 Tom's Valley Giants are just superb!

Beauty photo! But man, am I ever glad I'm not on the wall when it was taken. Brrrrr..... See that wall on the far right, Yvette?

Gee, uh, Tom - your <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=5017">equipment really IS big...</a>

Isn't that an amazing crack?! It's just so splitter, right up that clean granite wall. Damn, what a fine pitch! Only A3 plus-ish, but it had me whimpering a bit as it was the first hard one of the trip. 

 Yes, the little blue cord is just a tag line - it's 5mm, and we use it to pull up the haul lines later. This is a pitch we fixed - we camped where this photo was taken - so I had to rappel down the haul lines to get there. 

 Er, at least I would have, had said haul line been available for the purpose. 

 Uh - Tom? Are you going to 'fess up about the little fiasco that happened here, or do you want me to tell everyone???

Dang! That's funny! I'd forgotten about most of those fiascos! 

 No - what happened here was you lost the end of the zip line! There was no way for me to pull up the haul lines, so I was stuck at the top of the pitch in the dark with no way to rappel! Fortunately, the pitch was fairly straight, and not overhanging, so I was able to rappel down the lead rope, lucky for me. So as it turned out, no big deal. But it would have been a pain had we not been camping at the base of this pitch. 

 Listen up, people - the zip line is a critical link - attach it to your leader with a locker, and don't drop the other end! (And make sure the bottom end is securely fastened to the zip line bag, so you don't lose it like Tom did.) The next day the zip line was securely clove hitched to the zip line bag carabiner, and further fastened by some of Tom's trademark yellow duct tape.

There's room for you on my double ledge, T.

The beauty thing about the coffee press is that it's wrapped in closed-cell foam and duct tape, so well insulated a cup poured forty minutes later is still hot enough to scald your tongue! Civilized, that - can't leave the portaledge without it.

The eight-inch crack protects very well, as long as you happen to have a pair of <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=5017">Valley Giants,</a> which the first ascensionists did not. Beats the heck out of a bong sandwhich for breakfast.

What can I say? To be bitchin', ya gotta look bitchin'.

Uh-oh! It's <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=5450">Hard Man!</a>

Jeremiah, a double fisherman's knot would work fine, but has two serious problems. Firstly, there is no loop to clip your cow's tail into, and secondly, it's a bastard to untie. The butterfly is amazingly easy to untie, even after substantial loading.

Dang, what a rack! Sort of reminds me of that old classic photo of Royal Robbins with all his pitons laid out on the picnic table. But Royal never had Valley Giants.

But....but....it's not adjustable!

Doggone, I've got an ex-wife just like that!

Nice shoulders, hottie.

nnnnnnnnnnNICE!

I concur wholeheartedly!

Looks like easy A1 to me. What's all the fuss?

Hey, I like that. I always liked that photo of the noteboard at the Camp 4 kiosk that appeared in Yosemite Climber.

Suh-weet! Just don't be a bastard and backclean the gear, eh?

Funnily enough, being a caver, I rather liked this place. I think this is a very cool portrait.

Dimensions such as these, which are not atypical in caves, may account somewhat for caving's lack of universal popularity. I recently received an offer (one of the finest I have ever received, incidentally) which was later revoked when she saw the dimensions of the bivi!

That's not a flag - it's a <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=3004">CRAB.</a>

Nice composition! Looks very sweet!

Haven't done it yet, but it's on my hit list. If you're interested in big wall photos, I've got a bunch <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=View&Method=ByAlbum&AlbumID=77">here.</a>

You took that photo from halfway up El Cap, didn't you? I recognize the view!

Nate! Nate! There's one under your chair right now!.............made ya look - nyah, nyah....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I am beheld in that honour.

Holy frig! You're right! I never noticed that! I never lead A3+ without a helmet - you are asking for big trouble, not just from a fall, but more likely from a bouce-tested piece whacking you on the head! I think I zipped up my helmet shortly after this photo was taken. Natec was belaying me at the time, and as I had been faffing about for too long, it was time to git climbin'. Quite honestly, I forgot, but would soon have felt so naked I would have had to have called for my helmet. Spoken with Don Cherry voice: "Don't do this, kids. It's not safe. Always wear a helmet when aid climbing.

Not only did Natec's girlfriend Lisa take this photo for me, but she schlepped loads up to the base and drove me around the Valley. A real sweetie, and a Hottie too!

Oi, mite! G'die! And like welcome aboard, eh? Not bad when your photo hits the front page first try! Two questions: How do you like the BD ledge, and what kind of wall shoes you usin'?

Spoken in Buzz Lightyear voice: "You're mocking me, aren't you ladies?"

That's Wee-Wee the Big Wall Crab!

Superb! Rotate it a hundred and eighty degrees and it'll look just as great!

Well spotted, lad! Jeez, I was talking to bigwalling. How the heck did my comment get ahead of his? Sheesh.

Ten out of ten, mate! Take that you sport climbing woosies! Now, if only you knew what a shift key on your computer was for, eh?

Chongo is one of my friends, and he is also Dr. Piton's Wall Doctor. Without Chuck's help, I could never have soloed El Cap! You can click here to see <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=ListPhoto&PhotoID=2038">another great photo of Chongo also taken by Richard.<a/>

As bitchin' as Hillary is as a photographer, she is even more bitchin' as a model! [Heh heh heh.....]

Tom made me do it, Rich! It's cheap advertising....

Geez, it looks kinda scary up there! It feels good to be back on the ground. Sheesh. Once I get home and develop my photos, I'll publish the view between the clouds from my ledge. It was one of the most spectacular days I have ever spent!

Dude, that is an endorsement which cannot be bettered.

Beautiful, Karl. You submitted this photo the day you cooked me birthday dinner! And like, sorry about getting Rick's truck stuck in your driveway, eh? Duh.

It's empty, Anne - so far...

You know, it's just amazing the excuses I can find to not work. Staring at the poster works great!

I and a few co-conspirators voted the photo down to "1" originally in order to keep it "hidden". It worked.

Brilliant photo!

Geez, put your helmet on, you're blinding us!

Well yeah, but it's a good knot...

Ah yes, the soloist's dilemma - how do you take your own picture? You know, on a ledge this big you could - if you happen to have a self timer on your camera. [HINT]

Sure feels good to get down, eh? Too bad you're not there yet, and have to walk almost a thousand vertical feet downhill over talus with all your stuff.

Happy happy joy joy. I can almost hear the loose rock pinging off my helmet...

Where the....where the hail am I?! Yeah, it was a doozy all right. Superb photo, Richard. I love the colours, and the fact that the view is not foreshortened like I usually see it from directly beneath.

They don't call me "Pass the Pitons" for nothin', mate! It is a little known fact that I can climb quickly - I merely choose not to most of the time.

That isn't mountaineering - it's caving. Sheesh. Last year I carved a Wee-Wee into my pumpkin! He was a big hit with the neighbourhood kids.

Can't mistake this location with the curve of the river behind! It's gotta be the right side of the Southeast Face of El Cap.

Actually, I do have an earring sometimes, at least before my helmet eventually knocks it off. I think I have yet to summit with my earring intact. If I changed the stud for a pirate's hoop, that might work!

Aaaaaaaahhhhh ....................... Home.............{sigh}

How do *I* do it? How the hell do you do it, Heinz?!

Failure strength is dependent on the quality of placement. In a parallel-sided crack, I would guess about 0.025 KN. But I bet if you found a properly tapered crack, you might get about 0.1 KN out of him. Dang, you're right about those over-extended claws.....

For some reason I CANNOT EDIT THIS PHOTO! Please note that what you see is dangerous and unsafe! Petzl only discovered this to be WRONG after Richard made up this photo! If you want to find out WHY it is dangerous and unsafe, you can click here to read about the <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=3876&forum=19&start=30">2:1 Hauling Ratchet, and Petzl's recent warning.</a>

What! Me ugly?? I would never for a moment suggest that such a thing is completely true. Sheesh.

It would be hard to find anyone who loved life more than our sweet Andria! As Hillary noted, she lived it 25 hours per day, often to the exclusion of sleep. I don't know how she kept on keepin' on. Andria was amazing.

Dude, just look at that smile! Andria would get pumped about this thing or that, and I just had to grab my camera!

Normally it's really tough to get the stock listed, but what I've done is to buy a "shell company" - an already-listed but nearly-bankrupt stock whose share prices are next to nil. So what you do is substitute the beer company shares for the shell company shares, and then you don't have to list a new company! "Get it?" In fact, in this photo I'm actually standing in front of my new shell company. Take a close look by my right elbow... [HINT]

Interesting thing about Men of a Certain Age - when gravitational forces are increased, as you see demonstrated so strikingly in this photo, our love handles are seen to bulge above our waist loops. As Mick sang, "what a drag it is growing old...."

Heinz is our "heinz57"

Great photo, mate!

It's amazing what happens when you tilt the camera, eh? Just like that Monty Python sketch where the guys were climbing the sidewalk.

Hey, Tom - didn't you booty a nice blue-black Hybrid Alien for me off of this pitch? [Nyah-ah-ah]

Too funny about the numb toe, dude! After I climbed Salathe and Zodiac and West Face in 1995, all of them in my Boreal Aces, my toes were numb for a month, too. And you don't even want to ask about my hips - we had no belay bench! Sheesh.

Did you see any flying whales, Heinz? Heinz' friend William was also in the Meadows, and took some superb telephoto shots of us lower on the wall. If you haven't seen them yet, click the link at the top of the page to return to the first photo.

It takes eight, mate! Be sure to bring a set for May, eh? I'm gonna need your help again!

I love the Hottie Glasses, hon....

Note the word "vacancy" right next to her cranium.

That, uh, toprope looks a little tight, eh?

"Hard to place screws with gloves on"??? Sheesh. {Dr. Piton is an expert ice climber. In fact, he recently <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=24423&forum=43&30">got RESCUED ice climbing.</a>

Geez, Tedi, you should see my house. Sheesh.

Superb photo. The Knifeblade Traverse is not quite visible - it would be just off-camera beneath. Up and right you can see the bottom of the left-facing Golden Finger of Fate, up which Native Son climbs. The big water streak is a waterfall in the spring that hammers one of the belays on Aurora.

Dude, this is very very rad. Camp 6 on The Nose, looks like the base of the Bismark on Mescalito [oops, they've gotta climb the 5.8 ramp to get to the bitchin' ledge] and a party nearly at Dolt Tower. Looks like someone on Sickle, too. I've GOTTA try this some time. Very cool. A ten for sure.

Frig! That's too scary! Turn it back! Turn it back!

Then imagine yourself there, Anna. No dream is impossible with Dr. Piton. Carpe Swinem!

Yeah, one who doesn't drop your pig, eh?

Whipper?! That ain't no whipper, mate. This photo should be redone and submitted at 79K cuz it's a beauty. If you don't know how, email the original to me and I'll fix for you.

Superb. Photos that score this high should be permitted to be submitted in high res. There is too much choss permitted in medium, and this would look so much better in high.

If you would like to see another cool photo from a similar spot, please click here to see <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=3068">a golden close-up of El Cap Towers.</a> It is probably my all-time favourite, and you're sure to love it!

I put a fish picture here for several reasons. First off, I'm a fisherman. It's part of my identity. That's why we post a profile and submit photos - so we get to know each other. Plus I'm pretty darn proud, too! "On a toujours la choix...."

You know, I do have a photo somewhere of me holding a coral snake in Belize. I remember the Kekchi indian looked at me and said, "Dat snake take live." [Not "lives," but "live".]

Tom does NOT mean that!

This photo is superb, except that the point of interest is directly in the centre of the frame. Now it's a self-timer shot, so you gotta take what you can get. BUT if you were to trim this photo with your photo program, so the climber weren't dead centre, it would be superb. Easily done, email me the original if you like. I love it. Exposure is perfect.

Woo-Hoo!!! That guy is my Wall Doctor.

I will watch you, Hillary....

I have never had a problem with Wall Haulers shredding haul lines, but it doesn't surprise me that this could happen. You could actually use an upside-down Grigri in this application, which would not shred your rope, but I am unsure as to how much friction would be created when you operated the Far End Hauler. Someone with a second Grigri should try this [thus sparing Dr. Piton the bother].

Uh-oh, it would appear the Dr. Piton Myth has been <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=11466">EXPLODED.</a>

What the.....? [Uh-oh, the secret is out....] Please do not under any circumstances let anyone know that I can climb. Sheesh.

I had to look twice to realize you were driving UP Excalibur!

Spoken in Chamonix guide accent: "Ooh-la-la! You mus', 'ow you say, flex zee ankles and make zee crampons plat..."

Er, uh, yeah. The blue sling goes around right to the second bolt. The rap rings are equalized with a sun-faded cordalette, and a decent new purple sling you can't see. You're looking out for me, aren't you, Anna? ;-*

I'm guessing by its shape that that's Ama Dablam?

You can click here to <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=2677&forum=19">Ask Dr. Piton ... about the Wall Flower,</a> the Better Way of dealing with your poop on steeper big walls.

I led this pitch and was belaying her when this picture was taken. Yeah, she was cussin' up a blue streak, but when I refused to let her rest on the rope, she cranked it - barely. It was right at her limit [she had done very little jamming up until then] and she gave it her best, as she always did. {sigh}

Climbing is still viewed as an activity for the lunatic fringe.

The rock is steep and textured with beautiful sharp jugs and layaways. Funny how my fingers refused to hold closed towards the top. I really should try training.....next winter.

On the first day, when nobody was around and with my harness in my backpack, I soloed up to this point. It was pretty rad and exposed coming through the notch. Thinks I, "I'll just solo on across this bridge."

 So I take about six steps onto it, and NO WAY! I totally chickened out! It is wicked, exposed, terrifying, exciting, and a lot more fun with a harness and cow's tails! You clip into the cable overhead, which is slung at the perfect amount of tension to support part of your body weight, and you walk on across, with two hundred feet of exposure beneath. SUPERB.

Voice of Buzz Lightyear: "You're mocking me, aren't you?" I just want you to know that I was wearing my best pair of free-climbing shoes. [It also happens to be my only pair of free-climbing shoes.] I found one of them at Seneca last year. It fits, sorta.....

Sigh. It would appear I need a hottie to apply some sunscreen to my chest. [Do you think I'd look more bitchin' with pectoral implants?]

I, uh, like your way of thinking, Hillary. Hottie.

Geez, I clicked on the bigger image from Tom's website, and man, is that ever steep! Check out the angle of the free-hanging zip line!

Holy frig! Really?! Dang, that Hook or Book is a definite DFU! I can't help but think we would have noticed some little guy screaming as he whammed into the Continental Shelf. Then again, perhaps death was instantaneous.

You also comprime your candy food cans.

First you hook, then you drink. "Big wall climbing is just another kind of suffering."

What a smile! {swoon}

I led that! [See the double ropes? That is your HINT]

Andria grunted and groaned and heaved and called for tension when it got tough, at which point I offered my usual kind words of encouragement: "Shut up and climb!" Sheesh.

Ouch! That pricks!

"Pete! P-p-pass the Pitons P-pete!" [Aims out hand to shake, but hand wavers in several directions]

Well, I could be just plain nuts, too.....

That crack on the left is Bermuda Dunes, and I'm a-gonna be up there in May.

Adam, you've got sharp eyes. Chris Falkenstein took this photo at the same time as he shot the footage for the Reid Aid Climbing Video.

Like, take off, eh? Ya hoser!

No, it's a <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=3004">Crab-O-Ledge!</a>

Be sure to protect your Cold Gold in case there is any chance it could rub against the rock. And even if it's not "cold," it's still "gold."

Superb photo! I love the annotations! "You must alvays have a vell-organicized bivi."

He's CHEATING! <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28245&start=0">I have never done this! NEVER.</a>

Shoes are Fires - and if you know they are pronounced "fee-rays" then you must be as old as me. And Rich, they weren't called "clubs" back then, they were called "discoes". Sheesh.

Heh heh. I'm away climbing, and someone writes my caption for me. Dang - ya just gotta love that. Climb on! [Hottie.]

I loved the <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/articles/view.php?ID=196">article in Gripped Magazine!</a> I thought the interviewer really "got me"!

Superb! Lemme at it - on my skis. Check out the sparkles in the powder, eh? [Oh, I say, what am I doing down here in this crevasse? Sheesh.]

Elise writes, "Hey hottie! Take me climbing! I'll be your Female Belay Slave. And stuff. Especially stuff....." [Sheesh - Ed.]

Ah yes, our beloved Andria Suit. Wear it in her memory....

Those "desert girls" don't have any immunity to bug bites - not like us Hosers, eh? Let's just say Hillary wasn't up to her usual hottie-dom....what with nine-thousand bug bites all over her.

Gads. Thank goodness there is an "after" picture of me. In the "before" picture of me standing at the base of Bermuda Dunes [which Tom and I will publish in our upcoming "slide show"], I look like quite the lard ass. Sheesh.

If I were gay, I'm sure as hell living in the right place. Queers can legally be married in Ontario these days. Sheesh.

It sure isn't the Sea on account of that is much farther left. It doesn't look like Zodiac, either. Knowing the "belvedere" from where you took it, and looking at the Reid topo, my guess is it's the top of 15 or 16 on Eagle's Way? Then again, there's that square cut notch. Maybe it is Zodiac. Sheesh.

No doubt, eh? In winter when the snow cover is thin, you can drive across Mazinaw Lake to Bon Echo and belay The Old Laughing Lady right out of your car window.

Wow! What a view! When you're on the summit above the clouds, you're on top of the world.

Wow! I've never seen lighting like that. You could only get it in winter. Superb! Tom and I camped a few days this spring in The Alcove, that notch down and right of the Spire. We climbed Bermuda Dunes, which is the obvious offwidth crack on the left side.

Great kneebar - in shorts, no less! Did you tape your hands? As for cropping, I think you should play up the urban scene. Crop the empty wall on the left, and show more of the car. Better still would be people walking by on the sidewalk and watching. What's the grade, anyway? [Get some cams, and send the finish!] I am a long-time builderer, since I predate climbing gyms!

If it did, then you would be a dead milkman!

A good photo to send to the "Off The Wall" section of Climbing mag! Now THAT is the right kind of girl to mmmm..... to mmmmm..... to, ah hell, sorry. That word just ain't part of my vocabulary.

Nah, Richard, it was A2. Richard helped me in fixing pitches and hauling and cleaning prior to my solo ascent. <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=13285">I treat my sherpas right!</a>

I'm there tomorrow...

Fantastic! Resubmit at 96K!

Uh, please enlighten this Old Fart - is "Dope" good or bad??

You know what they say about men with big feet....

Heh heh. No doubt, eh? And what about those shoulder muscles?

To be bitchin', ya gotta look bitchin'. Henry Barber, who said "if it's below your waist, it's not a runner," would approve.

Gosh darn it all, those pesky bolts sure are hard to clip, aren't they? Can't believe it turned out so well having pushed the exposure so far. I bet it hurts dangling from your itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie yellow polka-dot sport climbing harness all day while you shoot these, eh?

oooooooh, he's just so, so, so ..... burly

Hey, you hottie, you - why don't you string together these bitchin' photos into a little slide show? You know, "click here to move to the next one"...

Dude! Resubmit this bitchin' photo at just under 96K! Sheesh.

The Croll needs to be mounted as low as possible to be most effective.

I just got a package in the mail today from Tom with a whole bunch of slides - Eagle's Way, Never Never Land, and some fun stuff from the meadows and in Camp 4. He told me when I bought the slides, I also bought the copyright. So you don't need Tom's permission to post,
Ricardo

Excellent. However the image is too big, so it's blurred. Why don't you resubmit at 500 pixels wide and 95K? Send me the high res original if you like and I'll make it so.

"ooooh, Shawn," cooed the hottie, "show us your lard-ass, please?" 

 Voice of AC/DC played on ghetto blaster at 2am on Timbuktu Towers after we finally got all the crrrrrrrap on top: "Oh I've got big balls, and he's got big balls, but we've got the biggest balls of them all!"

Bee-YUTEY, Karl!

I never noticed the crag hiding behind the van. Sheesh.

NA is one I still haven't done - it's on my Hit List.

Suh-weet! From NA you can see behind the Texas Flake! Here's <a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=3068">another shot taken from Iron Hawk.</a>

Woo-hoo! Bounce-test time! Man, that's one thick-lookin' rope to trail, though. Stick with a skinny zipline.

The camera is tilted - the wall here is much steeper than it appears in this photo!
