John preparing to come out onto the face of Narcissus (12a), while Bryden waits attentively for the second clip. I was trying to capture the situation - climber relying on belayer, belayer fearing for climber - which epitomizes the intense moments of climbing.

Sammy workin out the powerful Suicide Blonde at Summersville Lake at the Right Sector. Great weekend, great place.

Leslie Strang dialing in the moves for her soon-to-come redpoint of Narcissus.

Tori crankin on a 12A. Pullin hard on a heel hook to ledge where you travese back to the right. A great route at Summerville, WVA.
