Pic showing the "The Full Monty" route in the Narrows of the Wichita Mountains, Oklahoma. Route starts at the waterline and ends at the Kerplunk belay.

This is a closeup of the polish on "The Main Rub". I think that this polish is from large land animals rubbing themselves on the rock. Since a lot of the polish extends about 15 feet up, its possible that some of this was caused by mammoths.

Terry getting set before the crux throw/reach for a bomber hueco. The pit below is deep and dark.

This guy lives near the barn and has one heck of a self defence system. Don't tred on me!!

Terry on one of his many attempts on Thinman, which is a very thin problem on the Skid Mark Boulder.

Terry working on the initial moves of the largest boulder at the mammoth rubs. This thing actually starts out steep and then overhangs near the top.

Although Peter Croft was impressed with the climbing in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma, the thing he was most excited about was the wildlife setting. This is a pic of okieterry and a typical trail scenario.

Pic by Rebecca as Terry does first ascent of "HolyMoly" on the big boulder by the barn.

Pic by Rebecca of me spotting Steve Gilliam on one his first tries on The Main Rub.

Spivy doing a great job leading Last of the Good Guys as the sun sets Saturday at the 2005 Spring Fling. Although he was scared, he did a great job and didn't fall. This part of the climb (after the mantle) involves a 10 foot run-out to the next bolt and can be very intimidating.

Pic of me by Dre during our ascent of J Crack, June 2004. Although we had known each other for years, it was actually the first time we ever climbed together. All clothing donated by Amber...I think I look pretty suave!!

Okieterry training on his 20 foot long crack machine. It's made of two 2' by 12' pine boards that are held apart using 3/8 inch threaded rod. The crack size and taper are easily adjusted. The inside of the crack has been painted with a very fine grit paint.

Pic by Luke or Okieterry right in the middle of the crux move of the route (2nd pitch) June 04. Belayer was Allison Brown. It was her first multpitch route!

This route follows a very bold line up the Leaning Tower. Jon Frank did the first ascent many years ago in the mid 1980s but a fixed pin that had protected the crux was gone. Jimmy, Matt, and I spent most of a day hanging around and replacing the old bolts and a bolt where the pin used to be. Then Jimmy sent the route. Ultra steep and hairy...just what Jimmy likes!

Pic that Hal Cantwell shot of me on "Lost my Religion" at Lost Dome, Wichita Mountains in the early 1990s. I scanned this page from "Oklahoma Magazine".

Just a beautiful fall day on one of the best routes in the world - the eighth pitch of the Rostrum goes up a nice corner and around a little roof to an nicely exposed belay stance.

Hey! Get off our line!! Jimmy on the "descent" from the summit of the Rostrum.

Wolfgang Gullich on Clever Lever in 1980. I found out later that you could make this move a lot easier by sticking your left toes under a flake up and left of his left hand and levering out for the next hold with your leg. Duh...the "clever lever"! Oh well...we got it anyway.

Yeah right!! Julie finding out about climbing chimneys. What a trooper. She's also hauling up the water too! Pic by Okieterry, October, 2003.

Back in 1980 I was playing around and barely managed to pull my favorite roof aunaturale.

Uhhh....no thanks! Wolfgang and I hanging out at the belay under Psycho Roof in the summer of 1980. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach a hold near the lip. I didn't want to do it because I was scared of the runout traverse once you turned the roof!

My bud Julie back on the rock only five weeks after major surgery to repair a collapsed lung.
