good shadows, but the sun was right in my eyes the whole time I was on this route. Photo by Tom Buck.

If heights aren't your thing I suppose climbing isn't either. This is fletcher and me, or myshoes more like, on our way up a route in Rock Creek. Love the greenery contrasted with the clean grey granite of the Eastern Sierras. I live for the Sierra's!!

This is my buddy Fletcher lyin back on what I think is Main Attraction but I can't really remember. It was a really fun, cruizer climb that had some beautiful little crack sections like this one.

I think the thinner air was a factor. We both had fun on this one, we liked the easy approach pitch. The moves on this pitch were very tough at this altitude, especially living at 1200'. The temps were awesome and so was the rock. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 082505.

A shot for the photo project #1. My step sis works her way up this reachy V5 at Rock Creek.

Just another shot of me on Welcome to Iris Slab. It was just a fun day!

Monte makes his way up a climb in Rock Creek. The sky could not have been any bluer that day.

Picture showing the quality granite of Iris Slab. This route was Welcome to Iris Slab, probably the best route on the rock.

This is Phatty crankin on a Boy Named Sue. He got it first shot-wink, wink.

This is some V-8 ish boulder problem in Rock Creek, Ca. I took the shot of my sweet boy toy. Phatty says "Even fat guys can pull down."

Rowell's Arete on the left and Central route on the right (in blue) are depicted in High Sierra Classics (Fiddler/Moynier)and Peaks, Trails,and Passes (Secor) inaccurately. I climbed both routes in blue and they do not match Rowell's description. Actual routes in red.

Mike Finger got this shot of our friend Josh climbing at Rock Creek. Beautiful day, perfect line, great fun.

This is the main crack to the right of the 5.10a/5.10b bolted climbs in the Main Attraction Area. Josh was definitely looking strong on this route though he didn't get it clean this day. I couldn't figure out which shot to use, so I finally pieced together the whole sequence. In any event I like the way it came out.

This is Rich approaching the N. Ridge of Bear Creek Spire, an easy approach by Sierra standards. The N. Ridge is the obvious line of sun/shade in the middle of the photo.

I took this photo of a lenticular Cloud over Machupuchare in 1986 on my first Nepal trek. Climbing on this peak is not allowed as it is sacred to the locals. It's also known as "fishtail peak.' see more Himalaya shots on my page here.

A super fun, must climb 3p Sierra classic with an optional spicy walk off!
