Katie running laps on Chop Chop and Scorpio at Clark's Canyon. 11/1/06

Katie climbing the dihedral Scorpio Clark Canyon Eastern Sierra. Gotta love the Eastern Volcanic Tuff.

One of the best climbs I believe in this section, Rock Candy is Sweet. The texture of the rock is unbelievable. 11/1/06

Matt taking a quick trip up Rock Candy. A climb that must be climbed in this section even though it only goes at 5.8.

Matt heading up Double or Nothing at Clark Canyon. One just has to love shooting photos at Clark. The rock is unbelievable.

Climbing at Clark Canyon. That's me on the right.... Court Martial (10a).

Melissa Candee on Scorpio (5.8) at Clark Canyon. I'm not usually a big fan of cracks, but this one was fun. Marie Pavlovsky on belay and Ken Miller, photographer.

View of Mammoth Mountain from the North Island area at Clark Canyon. It's nice living in a postcard!

Fun and steep, after exiting big holds to traverse onto a far right pocket with trcky feet.

Climbing through the crux of the Maltese Falcon (12a) with the killer backdrop of the white's

The full image of Spud Boy focusing on the 3rd bolt. The crux was above the 3rd. 12 years old, sending his 1st 10d. His dad says his ego is pretty enflated after the trip.

Hangdogging a 10d at Potato Patch. I kept popping off the wall.

The same 10d - still working it. I did eventually clean it.

This is my friends 12 year old son sending his first 10d. His dad required him to 'work the ratings' so he progressed from 10a to 10d in the course of two days. Previous to our trip to Clark Canyon, he'd lead one 10b up in City of Rocks. Over this weekend, he flashed 8 .10s and red pointed two more, adding 10 more 10's to his belt. He top roped the route "Spud Boy" (11c), thus we nick named him. All weekend he kept wanting to lead 11's and 12's ... Dad kept him leading the 10's. Next trip, he'll send 11 11's! I love the intense expression on his face.

You can guess, there is someong hanging on the other end!

King Spud, very fun steep jug haul, with a tricky optional start

Fun route @ the Potato Patch area in Clark Canyon.

After my friend, a neophyte sport leader, onsited this climb, I figured I was obligated to get a flash. The thin section down low on this route is well complimented by the massive jugs up high.

Moving up Double or Nothing after Robin's onsite. This climb packs a whole lotta fun in a short distance. Pumpy for a 5.8.

This is my view from the top of a fun 5.9+ called Drop Zone in Area 13 of Clark Canyon in Mammoth Lakes, CA. The two black and white specks on the ground are my Boston Terriers, Maui and Jordan.
