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

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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.)

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.

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."

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.

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.

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...

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.

This isn't actually New Chatauqua... it's an apparently long-forgotten route around the corner. Relics on this thing.

I had to check out the A-Cup Team. I was kinda disappointed with the campus start to slab, but I still groped. Besides that, the huecos looked more like B-cups... pic by Dan.

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

Horton is the most beautiful pit I have ever seen. He's a steely "blue" color with white mittens and the most badass gaze.

I have an uneasy tolerance for the wasps at the Homestead. But they're a small price to pay for the killer climbing experience.

I think I guessed right. You tell me. I just know it looked cool. Here, an unknown climber seconds what I figured to be Malice in Bucketland. I was pretty stoked to see he was wearing a red shirt!

This route fascinated us. What is it, and who climbed it?!

Most of the End Loop boulders looked deserted except for this terrifying-looking solo thing that just screams "Jason Kehl scarefest." Starts by jumping off a 5-foot tall boulder (blown out thing on left) and latching two marginal roof holds, then climbing out the roof, traversing the lip on grim looking things, and airing it out in better but damn high holds over a body-busting featured slab. Maybe 40 feet? And looks hard. Here, Alex just plays on the starting leap.

I think this one is called Flesh Tuxedo. Silly little thing overall, but the cranking over the lip is pretty fun.
