Brian Barnett being shocked... or awed, it's hard to tell from this angle.

Sunny day in late March. Gettin' shoe'd up and ready to go. Who knows what the day will bring?

Ode to Johnny, whose passing this last year inspired rockprodigy to name the formation and the routes in honor of. Short tower, but, fun none the less. A bit of a hard start, the fun up face, then cracks and features to a nice rap anchor.

First gander at the traversing crack from up and left of the start of "High Road". I'm just about ready to call in for reinforcements (bring up some cams for the crack on a loop of rope). Good pro, back cleaned to avoid rope drag, left one .75 Camalot below the second bolt (traverse avoids the first bolt on High Road). Fun!

Fun way to start the "High Road". Cam's in the traversing crack to the second bolt (avoids the first bolt). Got 'er in the bag by this point...

a great summers day in idaho

My first multi pitch - sharing the third belay of Big Time at Castlerocks, Idaho.

Heres Kelly sending a gem at the new Castle Rock ranch. We went thinking there would be many more as good as this but unfortunately there wasn't. At least we didn't see too many. However this was worth the trip. A great V2. One of the best I've done. Long moves and good holds. It was surprisingly clean. Unlike everthing else we tried.

Me at the top of Red Rib (10a). It was the Longest single pitch climb i had done to date, 180ft. Very Fun climb

Some Castle Rock State Park climbing in Feb 06
