camhead cruising Left Trinity (5.10-). A little lower than in the other shot I posted. 24Sept06.

Kole, Tangent (5.10), Paradise Forks. 08Sept06. A bluebird 70 degree day but there I was in my down coat, and there he was, sweating in a tee-shirt and shorts... I'm soft.

Excuse my pun. That's Lisa about to gracefully exit the steep handcrack of On the Edge (5.11-). Notice the complete lack of gear for the first 50 feet or so. Screwing up there is NOT recommended. 08Sept06

Hangin' out on Mt. Lemmon, looking glam with my fruit punch Gatorade lipstick...

Jay going for the second ascent on a 5.12something. There's a rap-bolted crack in the background that you can't see... too bad, huh?

Jeff on "Clip Clip Here, Clip Clip There," a nice journey up Mt. Lemmon gneiss. I don't know if he wears sunglasses at night, but he does wear them even on overcast days. Lookin' sharp 8-) Photo by Hillary Davis.

Red shirt? Check. Wide-angle lens? Check (well, more or less). Hand shooting for glory? Check. Super-serious-radness to inspire all you chuffers? Oh, in spades.

Ham sammich replaced by Cookie Monster boxer shorts, tube socks, and dollar-store beanie. Personality supplied by Kole.

Arizonans seem to like Charleston. Here's Clayton getting the onsight of Los Banditos, 11c. Photo by Hillary Davis.

The chipmunk of Mt. Charleston and Hillary: cute, tiny, liable to steal your food, and they scamper on limestone! (the chipper is a much better and bolder climber than I am though, alas)

I don't often wear shorts because I am knock-kneed. But sometimes, when it's really hot, I wear capris. This is what my very sheltered legs look like... good to have in case my headlamp batteries die unexpectedly.

Mt. Lemmon face climbing is best done in tube sox. Go Dale!

This is one of my kitties, Sam. She is a holy terror but I kinda like her anyway. She likes to climb couch aretes, chair slabs, and mattress roofs. I don't know how she lost her eye... I found her that way.

Red Rock Canyon (Colo.) may be SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB but the area is pretty scenic. See the climber? Left-third of the shot.

(I don't know what route this is, or even if I got the right wall, but the RDB isn't likely to change significantly since the guidebook authors have issued a plea to keep that off the net.)

Madison isn't really a crag dog. He's a soft, senior citizen city dog. But I think he's zozo's best friend anyway. Here he works the crowd at "zozopalooza 06."

My dog enjoying a weekday romp out to the golden gneiss of Milagrosa Canyon.

The rock in Castlewood Canyon kinda weirds me out, but where it's not total choss, it climbs well. Anyway, here's a little problem in the Fountainbleau area. Photo by Alex.

I don't know why I boulder. I'm not any good at it. But on the plus side, Alex takes a nice photo of me trying.

Bob D on his circuit. This is a little flatiron near King Conquer.

Penny-edging: when you're not hardcore enough for dime-edging. This penny and several other coins (including a nickel, dime, and Canadian and U.S. pennies) were bashed in a seam at the Colonel Birdseye crag near Windy Point/Goosehead. Looked like they'd been there a while...

Casey de Reno. Cute dog, whimpers when her dad gets more than five feet up. Gives high-fives for treats. Dogs Rule (tm).

Approaching strangers and asking them if I can take their picture is my new thing. Here a guy named Riley works the V5 on the upper boulders at Gates Pass.

Alex gets sandbagged, but puts in a lot of heart, on 100 Proof Roof.

Curt ditches the squatting pinchaloaf face for the dihedral-to-face variation on Beach Time, a silly little dyno problem at the New Meadow.
