Here's Jeff Gardner somewhere mid-route. He ended up doing this route twice, The Mummy 3 times and climbed out on The Prow for a Half-Dome Day of soloing.

Enjoying a drink after a fun climb. North Carolina is filled with great climbs and amazing backrounds.

3rd pitch of the prow in linville gore at the ampitheatre.. great climbing, until the storm (in the background) began to roll in

View from second belay on The Prow, Linville Gorge

the prow (5.4) was a great moderate climb, and the weather could not have been better! I am approaching the belay ledge for the 3rd pitch (mummy buttress in the background)

Here I am leading the 2nd pitch of the prow, but I must say the 3rd pitch is the money shot.

Starting the Arete on P3. December 30, 2005. VERY cold.

To the sea's afar...40 charters eh...one ,two, isn't one enough

sticke it with a fork and we'z out da here

Here's my friend Katherine on the last pitch of The Daddy. I got this shot with emilb's camera as Kat finished up in the perfect light of sunset.

Thats Graham Whitley scrambling up to the chimneys. Thats a tight space for a big boy.

This link-up maximizes the length of climbing, topping out at the very top of the Buttress.

Along the mountain to Sea trail...Linville Gogre NC. state Ah yes and what a view !

If u didn't know any better, u would think I was having a good day. Why Hell yes. Kicked the mommy and the daddy in a day. linville gorge. What a place. Thanks Brenda for the shot and the time

I took this picture because I love the rock form. I could seriously just look at it for hours. Notice the climbers in the center of the photo.

The Prow a fun little 5.4. This was when I was starting to get serious about Rock Climbing. The picture was taken by my Dad.

My Dad also took this picture. I hope that The Prow will be my first route that I lead onTrad.

I love this last pitch it gets a little airy.

Here is my Dad at the belay station on the prow. I think the Picture was taken by a guy named Eddie.

Here is my Dad and I after climbing the Prow. The picture was taken by Eddie.
