...because when somebody takes your photo on it, it makes you look all crunched up and weird when you assume one of those slab-climbing stinkbug positions. Alex's body mysteriously shrinks while his head bobbles about. This is one of the ridonkulously thin oldskool slab problems (the middle one?) on the Gill Boulder. At least we could handle the approach.

Erratic: the boulder or my behavior? heh. Photo by Alex.

When I say I'm half brown, half white, I'm being pretty literal. Photo by fellow halfbreed and bearer of the Arizona farmer-tan, Alex.

but still I flail. More sunkissed Colorado sandstone. Photo by Alex.

Getting romped inches off the ground. Yay! Trivia: Alex told me several times this day that I was in major need of a shower. Maybe that's why he was more interested in standing across the meadow taking photos?

Even Alex had to huck for the next hold on Horn's Mudda (V2). Then I didn't feel so bad for getting completely shut down.

Alex latches the sidepull thingy on Horn's Mudda (V2).

EZ sticks the hold over the lip. This is such a great problem. The inital moves are great but the V5 crux is actually pressing out the mantel! It may not be high but it sure feels it!

Although this problem overhangs quite a bit, the holds are postive and the moves fun. Best to save that energy for the top out!!

Doing some roadside bouldering on my trip through the canyon.

just having some fun on my trip to look at the college.

This is on Moby Dick boulder outside Eldo. This is the Double Dyno V3.

This is my 2 year old son Ethan attempting the Double Dyno like his dad. You'll be there soon!!

This is Hillary pulling down tough on the Gill block in Eldorado Canyon.

This is some artwork Hillary did on one of her shoes. Scarpas never looked so good!

This is another shot of my favorite problem on Cloud Nine, "The Scoop". Tommy did the F.A. and did not rate it "as is the fasion of the day".

A beautiful line in a beautiful place. Fountain sandstone as good as it gets.

An amazing piece of stone that is worth every step of the approach hike to get there. Thin, demanding super accurate footwork.

Not sure the rating or name of this boulder but was cool.
