Mike about to latch the jug leading to the crux of Officer Friendly, 5.11c. Photo by Brian Hackman.

Climbing with Rahim at Highwire. I don't have a lot of climbing photos yet. This is one of the few that doesn't look completely retarded. Hopefully I'll get some good ones this summer.

Matt Toensing on belay ledge on3rd pitch.

The first pitch of Solid Gold. Eric Sutfin is cleaning it. Great first pitch, stellar holds and bolted perfectly, no need for gear.

Bolts seen on the upper part of the route. You can go to the left bolts or to the right bolts. These are the right side of the route.

This pic was taken from the top of the 2nd pitch. You can see the rest of the route well. The 3rd pitch is easy, then it gets challenging from there. Great ledges everywhere though.

The 2nd pitch as seen from the 1st belay ledge and the rap station. Good view of the upper part of the route.

This is a face not far from the 4th pitch. This part should be bolted. If someone could bolt this it would be awesome, if not I will try to bolt it this summer somehow. It would have better access the the summit and an easier route also.

This is the whole rock from top to bottom seen from the parking area.

my first ever sport lead at left highwire crag, clear creek, CO

the good old GF unit (mickey) setting her anchors. sorry, i dont remember which route this is....maybe boker face.

Nicerack stylin' on a freezing cold slabby day.

I got there right as the sun went down. Josh was in shorts! Damn it was chilly willy!

Ever notice that when you take a picture of a slab route it never looks as steep as it really is? This route is much more vertical than the pics make it look.

A little known climbing technique taught to me by clymber. Photo taken by zozo on Grizabella.

This Bull snake was getting bored with all of us climbers watching him so he gave us a big yawn. May 22. 2005

Nina stands on a ledge for her first lead climb at Gumby Cat.

This is the crux of Sonic Youth, one of the best routes in clear creek. Jugs and steepness go well together.

Ice climbing in Clear Creek Canyon. Testing some crampons and Simond Naja Ice tools.

Mike relaxing before clipping the anchors. Cool views with fun moves on big holds!

This is me crossing clear creek on a tyrolean, lots of fun and I stayed dry.

Coors Lite in November is very exciting to climb. Not only do you get to place screws but a rock rack is also required.

12-01-04 Early season climbing on Mickey's Big Mouth.

This photo was taken 11/03 The flow on the left is "Red Stripe" and has a fixed pin and a new 2 bolt anchor w/ chain on top. The route on the right is Mickey's Big Mouth.
