Hong commits to the first crux (first bolt) on Sonso's incredible new route Submission.

John de-snagging the line as I lead past first roof on Gear and Moaning. Lot of thin pro and a few bolts make this long line exciting and thought-provoking when it comes to reducing rope drag. Melinda M. took on nikon digital 061205.

Hong, with an enormous crowd by Iso standards, on the steep headwall of Submission. The cruxes both pass roofs, both reachy and powerful. Markguycan and Craig in foreground on Mangina. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 061205.

Joe enjoys the gymnastic moves on this sweet roof crack.

FA on route, been looking at it for years. Tim H and Nick W got first run on it.

Laurel was so happy when she passed the first crux that she couldn't stop smiling. Of course, there was more to come since the end is as difficult. She's about to pass the bulge. Lou took on canon digital 053105.

Lou sends this new route easily. Rock is solid, clean and user friendly. fingers to hands make it very protectable. That's moi belaying. Laurel took on canon digital 053105.

Mark at the crux on the FA

We did the whole route, the previous two pitches had been worked by Jeremy and crew. I am just getting into the 3rd pitch, hands to small roof to ow. Definitely the fun stuff. This route takes everything from smallest gear to a #6 friend. Jeremy S. took on 032304.

almost 200ft of ever steepening blunt arete makes this an enduro as well as thought provoking pitch. KB backlit by pricklypear cactus nearing the anchors.

sequential crux leads to sustained fingers and steep face moves, enjoy that rest at the agave!

The rock at ISO can be hard to read- where is the next good hold anyhow?!?!

KB embarks on this sustained epic pitch!

Had a fine day celebrating a friend's birthday and climbing. The last bolt on this climb puts you L but others go R, I may have to change the placement. Cool day with a warm sun. Thanks Mike and Brett. Josh took w/nikon digital on 020505.

I had a great wet cold day and cold climbing. It warmed up enough to finish the FA on this snowy day. I am passing the second piece, a small nut and thinking of the overhung leaning dihedral above. Even the ledges felt scary. Had a great time doing it all. It is a solid piece of rock, thanks to Jon. Shelley took on nikon digital 120404.

I climbed this stellar four pitch crack today and am still totally jazzed. Solid jams and edges make this a friendly line. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 032004.

A day with friends on two separate walls. I was looking at warhippies and my friends strolling up it. Brett and I were on winter wall. Taken on a fine veteran's day November 2004. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 111104.

Dave in good style midway on a great new moderate.

if your heart doesn't stop- these vertical dance moves will make you laugh happy!

Tamara enjoying a solid route with a good walk-off. This was our first climb of the day. It was easy and fun with lots of good gear and holds. No name as of yet...

Slowdive contemplating whether or not he can crank through the roof. Easy climbing leads to a challenging roof with great gear. Belay off gear and walk-off, no name yet...

We had a fine fall day in northern AZ. The arete is done, dust still on the face. The pro is bolts and nuts, cams. LaurelJA is coming up the middle of the 2nd pitch, nearly at the new bolt. Clean and @ 250' tall for 3 pitches. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 100804.

Kim following on a new route (I still haven't named it). The begining was a little commiting for me on lead (I'm so out of shape), but the rest was easier. Fun route, nice day at IC.

Another perfect weather day at Iso. Scott W., Kim, and I Climbed a new line just left of DT's Roof. I haven't decided on a name as of yet. Near vertical climbing for about 30 feet eases up to a low angle corner/slab.

We started the day off with a warm up route near the campgrounds. Shine is one of my favorites. Good gear with a fun crux.
