I just started this whole Rock Climbing thing...so this is my very first attempt up a route outdoors. My climbing partner and I spent copious amounts of time climbing around in the local indoor climbing gym and even inside my airplane hangar, but I didn't feel like I was becoming a real rock climber until I climbed this route. Ah...memories. =)

Sit start on the underside with a good crimper and an akward cross-over for the second and third move. Top out includes a sideways mantle. Very fun climb.

This is me on one of my first outdoor climbs. The date was February 21, 2004. The place is PeeWee's, a great climb at Mineral Wells. I officially fell in love with outdoor climbing on this day!

Neither of us could make it all the may up. (Correction, my climbing partner made it.) This move on the crux was tough. It has a heal hook with a cross hand match with a reach up.

This is a shot of a climber, Garth, we met last weekend, May 4th, at Lake Mineral Wells State Park in Texas. We were having trouble getting through this climb, PeeWee's, and he was nice enough to show us the moves. Twice. This particular shot shows how

This is a sequential shot of my son, Nevyn, on his favorite climb.
