My first 5.8 onsight lead on Geisha Girl, Sanstonia area, Bubba City, Ne River Gorge.

Last of three bolts before the anchors on Butterfly Flake

The rough road to Bubba. We thought the "puddle" was only an inch or so deep. Turns out that wasn't the case as water quickly came up through the floor-boards.

Kristen on her 3rd climb ever! What a good job!

Chaz on his first sport lead in Bubba City

Fabulous arête climb, or at least I thought so, and my first hard earned redpoint. Took a nice whip before finishing it from the ground up clean. Staying on the arête as much as possible added a bit more challenge, and FUN! photo by John M.

Wolfegirl's first climb at Bubba City was Smoking Crack. It was a sketchy approach but the climb was worth it.

I think wolfeboy slid on his bum for the whole approach. And we couldn't convince him to put on his climbing shoes so he climbed in his Geoxx instead.

Me getting ready to pull the roof and trying to get the rope to clip into the draw...I made it thankfully that would have been a long whip.

this is photographic proof that drinking and staying up too late the night before climbing early in the morning is a BAD IDEA. How come no one warned me? *picture taken by cliffhanger2040*

The classic slab gives way to a steep finish.

A nice route on Tattoo. This fellow hiked it.

My friend Jenn leading a 5.10? at Bubba City (I don't remember what route this was...it's at the far right of the new area)

Bob sticking the crux jug on White Henna (12a/b). After this move, there is a big move to a huge sloping jug...sort of like a gym jug. Bob went all points for it, just for the heck of it!

After pulling the overhang, the climb eases off and that makes me happy. Photo by Jay Zhang.
