Shana hangs at first belay as Lou finishes p2 at last ledge in huge fissure. Photo taken from up the highway from Atlantis parking area.

Steve belays Paul on 1st pitch of Slap & Tickle. Crux is roof just below anchors. Semi-hanging belay starts off on cracks to small roof, stem-squeeze-jam and it's over on pitch 2.

Working a project area in Atlantis for some newbie friends and one of them snapped this FULL WEDGIE butt shot of me!!!!! Revenge is a dish best served cold... lol

Eh, this climb is pretty easy at the beggining and i had a huge jug on my foot so i decided to act like an idiot.

Was a lil tired today and it took a couple more tries then usual to throw down the crux of this climb. Took a small fall and got a bad rope burn but hey, sall good.

This is the beginning of the endevor, the reason i have so many of these pics on here is because i won't be climbing for 2 years so i need to have things to remind myself that i need to get off the ground.

This was the first climb of the day for me and it has taken the lead for my favorite so far. It's a really fun route because it has everything that you could want; a lil bit of slab, overhang, crimpers, jugs, it's just so much fun. I onsighted it and that just made it even better so climb this route next time your in atlantis.

About to get totally horizontal on Smoking Guns. This route delivers a nasty pump, especially if you do not move quickly enough. Ming fights the urge to let gravity take over.

We just finished "Grumpy After 8" and were looking for another climb to do. Didn't have a book with us so i still don't know which one this one is, if someone knows can you fill me in. Ran out of draws so i had to skip a couple bolts but sall good. Nice lil on sight so i was happy.

The Mickey Mouse at Atlantis

He is about to get to the spot where the previous holds, two breadloaf-sized blocks, were wedged.

This is Mickey Mouse. Very exposed and exciting for a 5.7. My first outdoor lead :)

Beginning of the first crux.

Ending of the route, easy after this point.

This is about the 3/4 point on the way up giggling marlin.
