Bernd Zeugswetter sending iron monkey at the end of the year.

The only reason we went up to do this route is becasue we knew that everyone and their grandmother has this same picture... but it was fun :)

It may look like Im grinning but in actuality Im grinding my teeth.Arrrrgh!

It was just another rainy day in Squish when I got the call from dan to head down to BISHOP, A day later this picture was taken of Dan on Ironman Traverse.

Dan Mills launches to the lip on Iron Fly. Photo taken: 11/5/05.

This was taken by my girlfriend, Susie, when we went on road-tripping around the USA back in 2001. It was featured in _Vbouldering_ though we could have won a nice prize had this picture been set in high resolution format. The sequence shot work was done by myself. This is one of the popular problems in Buttermilk Country, yet still great problem to shoot...

This was my last attempt to finish the iron man traverse on my last trip to Bishop. I'll be going in 2 weeks to finally send it.

The Iron Man Traverse as seen from the side. It's a fairly steep face as opposed to the typical face on shot that gives you a flat perspective. The pic was taken by Vicky Summer 05 Bishop trip.

I could do the first 2/3 before the tiny crimpers. I was happy to try this famous traverse : one of the main reasons for my US trip was to experiment famous crags and new type of rock, as I have almost only climbed on limestone. Photo Scott The Botanist, Minolta 600si, Kodak Gold 200 ; no photoshop on this one.

first bulder I did in the Buttermilks....and last one thanks to the storm of last October...

Traversing my way right...maybe the heel hook will help.

When I first saw this pic, I was surprised and shocked...I had no idea I owned any back muscles! Sweet Ironman days...

This is Ian on Ironman Traverse. I really like how the Sierras look in the background of the picture.

if only if only, this would be an awsome send but its soo hard!

this is one of a pair of such that live in a crack on the ironman boulder....they would come out and sun themselves every day...one day we even caught them in the act of serpintine love....anyway, cool animals.

My buddy Clay on Ironman traverse, we didnt finish it but we'll be back for you

Traversing the overpopular Ironman boulder near Bishop.

Behold the nightlife of Bishop in all of its glory and splendor. You guessed it - nothing better to do than go climbing even if it is only 40 degrees out.

August return to complete the traverse. Snow on peaks gone.
