This is an unknown climber setting up an anchor at sunset.

This is a sunset picture I took at Joshua Tree. It took me a few sunset pictures to realize the unknown climber on top. This is the best one of him. He free soloed up and down right at sunset, quite a sight.

I took this shot on a rest day a few years back and thought I'd share it with everyone

One of my all time favorites. Makes me want to jump in my car right now...

This pic actually shows the best of the tattoo Hanger gave me for my birthday this last year. Thanks Baby!

Sometimes I miss Seattle then I remember I live two hours from J-Tree and all is well.

looking ragged with my only friend after a week of climbing in J-tree

It was a long and dry walk home. We camped beneath the space station and spent more time in orbit than on terra firma. I got a yucca tip lodged in my leg and it took a month to get the little bastard out.

This is me, belaying I don't remember who, on I don't remember what :D...note the focus on the leader, the great grip on the rope, hey, that's a solid belay!

Great day of bouldering. Hard problems and tall boulders describe the day. Don't remember the name of this one.

Bring two pads...Everything classic was sent in the 80s..

Wallking the thin line between genius and insanity

After a long day of climbing in J-Tree the rocks can play tricks on you. Can you see the face.

I love Joshua Tree...such an awesome place...

Toward the end of the climbing day, I took this shot of an unknown climber who seemed engrossed in the view. For me, this picture epitomizes why Joshua Tree is such an amazing place to climb at.

this is me at Joshua Tree near the Gunsmoke Traverse. I can't remember the name of this particular problem, but it was a lot of fun!

Here's Damo yardn' some rope at the top of Saddle Rock in Josh. We just completed the classic 5.8 Walk on the Wild Side.

This is a warm-up line Shawn rigged next to his 200+ footer at the Indian Cave Corridor below Ryan mountain.

Getting ready for another great Joshua Tree summer...

After a long day of climbing and trashing the fingers, out-of-this-world feeling of camping in joshuatree is breathtaking. I cannot remember which campground it was, either jumborocks or sheeppass, well, if you go there without a reservation, during the springbreak and a nice weather, you will be happy to find any camping spot at all. It is all good though.

Technotes: Eos5, 19-35 at 19mm, tripod, 4-5pm roughly 1 hour before the sunset, tmax400 b&w film, stiched 6 images using PS, and the sepia-like coloring is done using PS color balance tool.

Beautiful J-tree, pic taken spring break 2003.

Still my best flash to date Roof Romp V4.

This is me on my first lead ever. Nice and easy 5.7+ somewhere in J-tree. Sadly I don't remember where, or what it's called. The photo was taken by Kendall Chun. I did the whole thing sans falls (which is great because I would have torn myself up pretty badly on that J-tree cheese grating rock). This picture was taken in March of 2005.
