Its the end of the day and I'm burned - both from sun and from futile attempts at Thank You Scott. Mike and I seemed to think the easier way for the vertically challenged is to lay-back off the smaller crimpy stuff- my arms were too short for the crossed over jam. Photo by dbyte.

Shannon Cheng takes a moment to pose for the camera while sending Lurch Direct (5.10a) on 6/19/2005. What's she holding onto? I'm not sure... a big, slippery sloper covered in the route's infamous blue paint...

Cory races the sun up the rock on our last climb of the day. The route is Ladder Line in Quincy Quarries.

This is me climbing Layback at Quincy Quarries. This is my favorite climb at the Quarries so far. Taken and edited by my frind Chris.

My friend Rachel is climbing up Layback, a fun 5.6 at Quincy Quarries.

Close to topping out on Layback. He's pretty happy here that his wife is an attentive belayer.

This was a great evening of climbing until Ben (the belayer here) dropped his shoe into a nice deep hole between two of the blocks he is standing on. Managed to get it back, but it was a bit of a feat.

me on layback - my first climb at QQ. yeeeeehaw!

Grunt grunt stretch stretch ... trust those feet ... the essence of Lurch. March 2003.

A fun climb up the paint

This is my first layback ever. You might be able to tell by my (lack of) technique, but I def got the hang of it toward the top!
