Not sure what the name of this was but it looked amazing. First time at Looking Glass and its features are amazing.

We started off at the Southface and did a three pitch climb called sundial and then headed to the Northface. Took this along the way.

This is Phil setting up the simul rappel.40404040404

Seth going for the lip of the ledge they were jumping from. He nearly fell here and if he had it would have been quite a rush....probably would have hit rock on the way down to the water from 40 feet.

This was our first trip to Whipperwill for some water soloing. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. There was a ledge about 35 feet from the water that i rapped down too and they all met me there from the water. Extremely good day.

Another from our first trip to Whipperwill to water solo. I took this from a ledge that i rapped down to. Again...an amazing day.

A picture of my friends sitting on the ledge we had been climbing to and they had been jumping from 40 feet above the water. I actually have a picture of me in there too with a timer but i had a shirt on and i thought it took away from it. So i decided to use this one instead. Tired and waiting for the sun to set...

Seth's first lead ever. No falls. He later got half way on Year of the Phsyco Bitch and also the 5.10a at The Gun Wall. I climbed half way up the climb next to it sans rope to get this shot...hopefully it was worth it.

Another from our first trip to Whipperwill to water solo. I took this from a ledge that i rapped down to. Again...an amazing day.....I'm not sure if this is Gimme a Clown but it wouldnt let me load it otherwise.

Phil nearly sent this nice problem on the top of Grandmother. Extremely good weather.

This was Jordan's first trip to NC stone. One of the better shots i got from this trip.

One of my personal favorites from this trip. Phil Hoffman sends Novacain on his second go.

I think that is the name of this problem. Phil Hoffman took this picture at the end of the day. a split second after taking it it, i snapped the hold im going for with my left hand and it nailed me in the eye. we thought i might have actually cut my eye ball because when i initially closed my eye a blood tear came rolling down. i manned up and tried it a couple more times. didn't get it though. maybe next time ill have better luck.

I liked how this photo came out because of the texture in Phil's hands. I was bummed you cant see it all though. another shot on this boone classic.

I got bored and set up a slackline in front of my house. My friend david tries it for the first time at night, im not going to lie, he didnt make it much further then this picture. it's a fun line though.

It was the end of the day sometime in march and i had already climbed myself out but was forced onto this against my will. Raw Meat is near the top of Grandmother Mountain. It has a long dynamic move to the hold you see. nice top out though but it was way too cold and windy for my liking to really give it a good go. I didn't do it this day but still came out with a good picture....and really isn't that all that matters? Photo Courtesy of Jonathan Glassberg

I was teaching a route setting clinic in Fayetteville at The Climbing Place and decided to climb at Red Point and also stop by and visit my brother in Wilmington and climb at the new gym there. Climb On! was a fun gym with good workers and this is a photo my brother took of me bouldering a little before heading back to Charlotte. Photo Courtesy of Richard Hedrick

A project at poplar tent boulders. The crimps are tiny and like razor blades. After falling off here, i thought i was going to need stitches in my finger it was bleeding so badly.

Right before the Crux you get an amazing rest on huge jugs. Thats where im at in this picture.

Pam on the Decepticon Boulder. i think its a good shot.

Me on Mighty Mouse. Hardest V5 ive ever done.

My early attempts on Full Throttle. Hopefully it'll be sent soon.

Amazing area. a must if youre in boone.

Amazing climb. i did this on my seventh try and it was awesome so i had to take some photos.

This was my second go. I sent it on my 5th. Very good day.
