Seth going for the lip of the ledge they were jumping from. He nearly fell here and if he had it would have been quite a rush....probably would have hit rock on the way down to the water from 40 feet.

This was our first trip to Whipperwill for some water soloing. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. There was a ledge about 35 feet from the water that i rapped down too and they all met me there from the water. Extremely good day.

Another from our first trip to Whipperwill to water solo. I took this from a ledge that i rapped down to. Again...an amazing day.

A picture of my friends sitting on the ledge we had been climbing to and they had been jumping from 40 feet above the water. I actually have a picture of me in there too with a timer but i had a shirt on and i thought it took away from it. So i decided to use this one instead. Tired and waiting for the sun to set...

Marshal somebody on Wendy's Jugs, one of many new routes at Whippoorwill, Summersville Lake.

Tradgal on Wendy's Jugs, which is becoming quite the popular little route.

Argus bouldering the bottom of yet another new Whippoorwill route.

We ain't talkin' lassos neither. RC's own, j_ung mixin' it up on the first ascent of his new route at the lake. (one of many) i thinks it's called cowboy crumble but it might be crunchy cowboy. I dunno. Can't keep up with these boys. Two bolts on brittle but fun ground and then plug the crack to the shuts. YEE HAW!

Kristen's not shy. Even with a camera present, she's not at all afraid to put her hands all over Wendy's Jugs. I can't say as I blame her. I myself have handled them, they're quite nice.

Local hairman, I mean hardman, Kenny Parker gettin' sporty on second ascent of Jay's mixed route cowboy crumble or crunch or crisp.

Some of you all may have seen this guy climbing around the New. I know how y'all feel. At first you're excited about the possibility of a tall, hot brunette that's cranking off in the distance. Then you realize.....It's a guy. Ahh Fayetteville (females not included)

Wendy has some sweet jugs man! Fun little jug haul for about 40 feet on exposed rock.

Everytime we come out to Whipperwill to water boulder, we try this arete. Its 11d in the guide, but with wet shoes, heel-hooking/toe hooking the crux is pretty hard, its a great route, and its high enough, that when you blow it in the precarious "crux" position, you come flying off crazily!

The crappies rigging of my life....not the rigging itself, but rigging it, well actually getting to where I needed to be to rig it. There was no way around it, 15 feet of thick, nasty green briar, and it really hurt, considering I was wearing swim shorts and no shirt! DOH!
