This pic was taken one of the many really hot days here in LA. I am Deployed to LA for Katrina Aid. There isn't any rock around Alexandria and most of the gyms are to far away or in devastated regions. I was looking at a trailer and came up with a great boulder problem on a trailer, traversing the lip all the way around. A great pump, I had lots off ppl trying it after they saw me climbing it. A little imagination goes a long way.

One of the many awesome prolems at Gretna. This is Josh trying to get the opening move to Kinesthetic Awareness a V11. Chet was there that day giving it his all too. No one was able to snag the next move. Ive only heard of one accent and that would be by Tony. So contact a local and you too can climb Kinesthetic Awareness V11. Climber: Josh.

Here’s Greg, all funny faced, giving Fabulous (V5) a go. This is a great problem, Greg started this from the standing position but to truly enjoy this problem you must try from the sit, which is probly the hardest move to complete. Climer: Greg. Taken by: walllizzard

Thats what always goes through ones mind when they are at the top of a HB. This HB problem at GS is rarely, if ever, climbed. The problem is fairly easy but when you near the top, the mind games set in. Unsure if it has a name, not really in the guide book. Climber: Jeremy. Taken by: walllizzard

This is Danielle finishing up one of the twin's HB problems. This is a great problem, easy V0-1, but a great head game. This was her first time at GS and she loved it. Climber: Danielle, Taken by:walllizzard

Here is Matt literally jumping to the first hands on McJump. This problem is not for the vertically challenged person. Its an all out jump up to a good hand slot. The top out is great and isnt to bad for the grade, V1-2 depending on ur height. Climber: Matt, Taken by: walllizzard

Ethan giving the classic EGG at GS a go. As he put it, the top out was d-mn schetchy. Taken by: Edna Kline @ 2005 GS comp. Climber: Ethan

Thats how I felt after flailing off the EGG after blowing a finger tip, shortly after this pic was taken; never did finish the problem that day. This is a great problem and should be climbed by everyone. Taken by: Edna Kline @ 2005 GS comp. Climber:walllizzard

Here is Chronicle giving the EGG a try. Chronicle laughed his way all the off the problem. Just one more for his tick list. Taken by: Edna Kline @ 2005 GS comp. Climber: chronicle

A great shot of costellobr making the traverse on the second pitch of Gelsa. The exposure is great at the point where she is standing making for a great view. Taken by: walllizzard. Climber: costellobr

This is Ben Timmins on the last move of the Pyramid boulder at GS. Its a great slab HB, great moves, just keep your head together, your reward is a great edge to finish on.

This is Suzette Kreider making the moves on the Pyramid boulder at GS. Its a great slab HB, great moves, just keep your head together, your reward is a great edge to finish on.

Hers a pic of , I believe, a tree frog up at Mt Gretna. I was near the 45' wall when I saw it move. I had to look for a few minutes again beofre I could find it among the leaves again.

Heres another pic of some of the local wild life up at gretna. Was just walking along when I saw movement and caught up with this snake. Gives ya good idea of what you can see if you just look around and appreciate the surrounding flora and fauna.

This isnt in GS but is loacted just outside of Etown. There are a few areas in Etown that have the same rock as GS/ Gretna. Ya just have to look for it. Its a great problem that ive almost got, probly a v3-4. the pic was taken with my dig cam on tripod set up on timed shutter evrey minute. a real bugger to get the shot in when doing the moves.

Me getting the finishing moves together on Casablanca. Its a great problem, V3 or so they say, lol. Ive been told that most climbs at GS are a grade or two harder than rated.

This is Andrew, only 14 y/o, from Baltimore, met up with him and his Dad @ GS on fathers day. He was giving Casablanca his all.

Thats what ya have to be to even get on this project at GS. I met up with a bunch of ppl @ GS, all from Baltimore, on fathers day, late in the day. I believe this is Gary trying his best to complete Gin and Juice, started from the middle.

This is the easiest climb on the main wall at Infinity wall. Lots of large pockets to climb up and out on working from down in and up/left. If ya go there its very obvious on where the line goes. I would consider this a classic problem, way fun. Probly v3-v4 maybe, got alot stronger so not sure any more lol.

Doing a great V1 on the south side of Coldflesh. The easiest way to get past the crux is with a wonderful heal hook.

This is a pic of Mojorising on one of the spires at nelson rocks. The pic was taking, with a G5, while I was standing at the bottom of Easy wider as I heard Mojo yell out, telling the whole valley they had made the ascent! The Pic is un-edited, only compressed for RC.

This is a pic of Mojorising and Doug sitting atop a spire at Nelson Rocks. Per Mojo and Doug this was some of the sketchiest climbing they had done, At one Point they had to down climb 3 times.

This is a closer pic of mojo and Doug sitting onto of one of the spires at NRP, They climbed the other spire to the right but i was unable to get a clear pic.
