This is the Camel. The top rope wall is on the backside (not in photo) of the main body, and Ali Baba goes up the middle of the neck. It is a steep and rad climb. photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

The routes go up the long slab from bottom to top. photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

This is my buddy climbing Thrill hammer. It was a fun route, however I would recomend doing it in one pitch.

My friend is just breacking into trad climbing. This was a very chill, airy rout for him.

This is the start of Portent 5.6, taken while I was on belay (one handed obviously). All I can say is- beware rope drag!

I and 7 others spent a week on the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. This is the sunrise from one of our campsites...I don't remember which one.

The climb before he dropped my camera...it was a good day

another beautiful day in the Pinnacles national monument.

This photo was taken on the West Coast Trail, up the coast of Vancouver Island.

I'm about midway through the onsite of Wet Kiss.

Finally reaching the big breadbox, I let my worked arms depump a moment before heading for the anchors.

Description: Next time Paolo, next time. Working the crux of the route, the best one so far at Pinnacles, that was supposed to be the "send" day, but hot rock, and a fuzzy rope sheat that kept snagging in the draw stopped slablizard. Next time.

This is Dave on Ubermensch, a difficult arete on the Monolith. photo taken from the trail by Kacee.

Shows both routes on the Tiburcios X Rock.
