Sizing up the next clip while pulling plastic at Diablo Rocks Gym.

Using suggestions from Chanceboarder and Kriso9tails I have reposted this image. Yuji and Hans near the top of The Nose route of El Cap during a record breaking attempt in June, 2008.

In El Cap Meadows, after the afternoon festivities honoring the original El Cap climbers had finished, the sun came out and I got this picture. A beautiful way to end a wonderful weekend!

Yuji Hirayama leading the last pitch of The Nose of El Capitan during a speed climb record attempt with Hans Florine in October.

Frog face climbing a famous nose on the first pitch of another famous nose.

I shot this of Susanica Tam (model and photojournalist!) during a photo climbing class taught by John Evans at the Redrocks Rendezvous. The rest of the class shot from lower down to get some nice blue sky. I thought shooting from higher up to get the desert in the background might look good also. Here's the result.

Belayed by Humberto, Justin fights his way up Rat's Tooth Chimney, Donner Summit, CA.

Abundant knobs make this steep sandstone climb a popular one.

Eyes on the bolt!

Amazing Face, Mt. Diablo, CA. This route has been rated either 5.8 or 10A depending on the topo you use. Steep sandstone with abundant small knobs. Taken with off-camera flash, Canon XTI, 24-105mm lens.

My friend Margy following on Swallow Crack, a 5.7 climb at the Pinnacles. I was belaying her using a gri-gri to go hands free to take the picture. This was her first climb. You can see that in her face!
