This is a view of Old Smokey from the road where you park. Good Hip Vibes takes the obvious left crack.

This here is an awesome splitter. It was raining when this was taken so the detail and lighting sucks...but you can tell it's a good one!

Climbingprophet on Icy Roof V7ish Scree Fields McCall, ID. Great angles, Great rock, What more could you want?

This is the first crux on the gift. From these holds with the heel you have to bump out left to a small sloper (see next pic.) when you are tired and pumed w/ a bad right hand. Brilliant.

In the middle of the first crux. Notice the bad handholds. What is really holding weight is your heel. If you miss going for the left sloper you fall straight on your back! The next hold is a jug where you can rest for the top out deadpoint second crux. Best problem ever!

Here is another pic of my route Smoke Screen and the crack beside it. Smoke screen follows the black streak up to the twin white spots where there is a flake and a bolt. A big reach out right to another thinner flake, then the first horizontal. HUGE reach (or dyno) up to the next horizontal. DO NOT USE THE VERTICAL CRACK! From there stay left of the mini roof block, protect the next horizontal and continue over the bulge to the top of the wall. 5.10+. Harder if you are short.

Another Gift pic. My right hand is on a very open-handed sloper. You match there, bring your feet up and reach up and over the lip to the only feature on top of the boulder...a tiny crimp rail. Rock over and DON'T FALL! bad landing from there...

"OH MY GOSH! Stop the fckn car!" That was a direct quote from me when I first saw this awesome feature. It's hard to tell at first, but this is a large, smooth tubelike cylinder that is about 50ft to the leftmost ledge with another 20ft of headwall above. I had some serious goes on toprope (I cleaned a crack just above the left hump/ledge, you can see it) and now believe it to be impossible. Now, I realize I am not a great climber, but the steepness combined with the fragile and tiny nature of the holds leads me to think that no amount of skill, strength or sticky rubber can accend this feature. If ANYONE succedes, let me know!!!!

This is an easy fast way to this spectacular summit. In fact, Paradise Point Camp in McCall uses this route for an outing called Mountain Adventure Camp. Fun!

CAmper nearing the big ledge and finishing jug. Cool route for beginners and a solid anchor with mnimal gear.

This here is jordan lookin good but pussing out and opting for the 5.6 line. Laugh and point...

This is me sporting my new mohawk at a boulder on the shore of Snowslide Lake. I am on a much needed break from worrying about 13 junior high kids who we take backpacking every year.

This is Stephen, glad to be short on a boulder on the shore of Snowslide Lake. we are on a much needed break from worrying about 13 junior high kids who we take backpacking every year.

This is the view from the summit of Snowslide Mtn...straight down the west face...over 1400' down to the lake! We take 13 year olds up here!

This again is me sporting the new 'du figuring out the next move on an over 200' traverse near where we camp with the kids. Most moves were really chill, but there were some spicy sections...

Here I am showing off at a no hands stance that looks quite unlikely in this photo...this problem is not as steep as it looks in the picture...even though I wish it was...

Here I am looking down from the summit on Stephen...he is allready about 7 feet off of the ground with a ways still to climb...highball, but easy and fun!

Here is stephen in front of the Aspen Boulder...what a gigantic rock! Bishop size! To be fair, Stephen is freakishly short... The Main Vein ascends the center of the shaded face to the left of Stephen. Come climb it!

Stephen working the moves on the best (and first) route on the Aspen boulder...a coupla different ways to do it from the stand up start...but the sit start weeds out the short and powerless...ha ha...

Stephen is about to fall but one could imagine for a moment that he just stuck that right hand and his feet swung and he is in the process of being a beast and poking them back on the rock...ahhhh.

C.S from a different view. Those slopers are just enough to stay on the rock...perfect problem!

my right hand isn't on the best of holds but it is enough to swing left and topout...best problem on the boulder! An area classic! Five stars! Holey Toleedo!

Pure power reaches on slopers and tiny crimps...beautiful but extremely short. Couldn't even come close to doing it last year...this year however I found a hidden hold...

Well, stephen giving it the old college try...and college is probably the reason he can't do it! Ha ha...just kidding stephen!

Here you can see the obvious corner system to tiny roof. Anchors above the little tree growing out of the top of the crack. "Smoke Screen" comes out of the flake on the left into the horizontals. It stays to the left of the roof and then up the bulge to the top.
