Mom at New River Before her Climb See really liked it there.

attempting to not slip off by my on damn sweat! seriously frustrating to be soaking the route for the next climber, adds a degree of difficulty for those following!

Just a little aid climbing to pass a bad weather day. It's never to bad to aid climb. Love the New River Gorge!

This is myself(upside down) and buddy jeremy. Easily Flakey was the first route that I had ever climbed, and coming back to it later on that year we had some fun. After speed climbing it in under 2 minutes, I decended while he met me in the middle. I don't know which was more fun...going up, or coming back down.

I took this picture of wolfegirl on our trip to the NRG in June. It was a beautiful day and I particularly like this shot.

This climb was just perfect for wolfeboy - except for the height. He had no problem making the moves and he really enjoyed the climb...but about 20 feet from the top he decided he was high enough. Of course, we respected that and lowered him. He still gave it two thumbs up!

I like to think I'm tough enough that I don't need to tape...but I really should have.

I took this picture of my girl friend after the beginning crack on Easily Flakey. We learned something on that climb, she likes crack. Definitely a cool beginner climb.

This was a fun V3 I believe in the New River Gorge. Not sure of the name but it's near the bridge area...

This route sure eats your hands! I saved it for onsight for quite some time. Finally, the dudes talked me into doing it! And then I hung and took photos of my favorite male superstar-Thomas McConnell. Nikon D200, 50mm F1.4

Here's Jay navigating the fairly bold lead of Angel's Arete (10c). He said he'd eat 6ft of rope if we didn't enjoy the climbing at the New....We loved the climbing and yet here he is eating a carabiner. Go figure!

....with his bare.... hands.... Our very own J_ung reaches through the crux of this "heady" New River trad classic.

Brooke climbing the sandbagged Jaws (5.9). Super route but a bit stiff for the grade. 'Old school 5.9'

Christina Austin on the elegant "Labor Day" at Bridge Buttress, NRG.

Climber on the sketchy 2nd pitch traverse of Afternoon Delight.

Jaws 5.9

Looking down into the wonderful wideness on Afternoon Delight, a really fun 5.5 up the Pinnacle. The rope is to get back down, but now I just downclimb. This is one of my favorite moderates that I always end up climbing again.

Zoe's 4th time out, having fun at NRG, Easily Flakily. Was perfect weather in Nov-2005.

Zoe Millbern on Easily Flakily, NRG November 2005. At 8 yrs old, and only climbing 4 o r5 times she is fearless...

Gemini Crack - Right (5.10a). Very nice finger crack, flaring crux. Outstanding rock, great pro.

Labor Day 5.10c is the sweetest route in the rock shelter area of the Bridge. Light rain put a damper on most of the routes this fall Sunday, but Scott found a beauty here! Photo by Mort Batchelder (mortb).

this is my first ever lead. Gunky heaven at the new.taken by steve proctor
