Makin' it look easy on Journey to a Mushroom Planet 5.13a.

Me trying the double knee bar start to Journey to a Mushroom Planet.

D.Ben and I went up to hit some 11s on the left side of Monsters, and guess who was hitting the 14s on the right. Zeb is one strong dude, although the route spit him off at the anchors. This part of Monsters from the Id is wild, 2 starts, and 6 routes.

A fall shot of Journey to a Mushroom Planet at Monsters of the Id Rumney. Spring 2004. Brian clipping the draw just before gaining easier terrain.

This is a picture taken at rumney on the MOnsters from the ID it is a difficult climb on the far end... I love the way the green in this picture stands out from the sillhouette

This is Chuck trying to progress in Dr No by making funky useless moves !

Rainy day, too much people on Techno, enough worked on wet Social Outcast, why not cool down in Dr No ! Unfortunatly, Mikael wasen't there to give beta...

this is me trying hard to do the initial boulder problem at the beginning of Stone Monkey. Three more moves and then five eleven to the top. Cut the feet and pull!!!!!

At the end of our trip to Rumney, we made few tries in Dr No (5.14a). It's a way above my level, but thanks to Mike's beta, I was able to make several moves and have a lot of fun. One day I'll send it... with a lot of work.

I saw often pictures of climbers doing this move in Dr No (5.14a). I though it was very difficult. I was surprised to find it pretty easy. Of course, the next moves are a way harder and above my level.

Cool pic taken from the top, spectacular route
