Here is one of my newest climbing partners. Charlie

Here is a pic of Bob's Crack starting down where Steve is sitting

Here is the beginning of my first trad lead.

First Trad Lead on Bob's Crack, at Bob's Rock, Buena Vista.

'nother shot of my lead. It's considerably warmer in Buena Vista, compared to Leadville

Climbing in Buena Vista at Turtle Rock (near Bob's Rock) with a good view of the Collegiate Peaks in the background.

This is me on lactic acid overload, I think its 12a or somethin'... On Bobs Rock.

Best shot i had of the whole route. Actually i just framed the shot and set it up, my mom pulled the trigger b/c my cousin wouldn't climb with anyone else one belay (he's 9). There is a myriad of ways to do this thing. Elijah wandered adound to find the easiest passage, probally like 5.4, b/c i took the direct route to the right of the crescent crack his and it felt like easy 5.6, and the other variations were much easier

took the family out to bob's on a reuinon this summer. beautiful weather and rock. this was a perfect introduction to climbing for most of my family. fun rock, no approach, easy set up and stunning views of the fading sun over the sawatch. FYI this route can be lead on gear. i guy lead it behind us on TCUs, Aliens and RP's

This is me a while back practicing anchor setup, I went a little nuts.. GET IT!! Anyways I think there's like 9 or 10 pieces in, and directional for up or downward pull, simply bomb proof. John Long, this will stop a "rouge elephant".

when i climb Bob's Crack and get about half way up i cross over to the right and climb the face facing you as you climb. that takes me up to a cool roof move and then back into the top of the crack to finish the climb. My girlfrien Nicole took this pic from the ground while my friend belayed me.
