Paul Hatalsky getting outta Hell.A rad climb to photograph, and from the looks of it, a rad route to climb. Hell, 5.12, has killer moves. It's amazing anyone makes it out of the Pit.

As Natural as Serenity CrackThe Natural (12c), at Owl Tor. Rock climbing doesn't get any better than a flawless line of perfect overhanging rock. In another 20,000 years, the Tor might get to such a state. Until then, Mr. Requist locks off and reaches every Saturday.

new route Flowers on Venus.This is just one of the new sport routes at Big Rocks. This route has 8 bolts and is on a 70 foot near vertical cliff called Outerspace Wall. It is behind Swiss Cheese wall. Larry Harris is giving it a 4th ascent. First Ascent by Tom Slater and Paul Bernard in April 2005. This is a classic for this area and will give you an idea of the area's potential.

Paul Bernard on Deep Impact 5.10This is Outerspace Wall. Paul Bernard is cobble pinching up Deep Impact, a sweet 70 foot 5.10 with 8 bolts. The Big Rocks area has become a nice sport area for intermediate climbers. Imagine all those Pinnacle N.M. classics without the golden era runouts. Great wilderness feel to the area. New guidebook coming out in the fall.

Rap Bolting SucksMaking Beckey, Robbins and Chouinard proud, Steve Edwards demonstrates the purest in climbing ethics by hand drilling fixed protection from the ground up at The Owl Tor in Santa Maria. Wait....is that a cheatstone?
