top roped view of the route. photo was taken in the middle october. the leaves on the trees were amazing

this one top roped at the russian vault. photo taken in oct 06. it's a bit chilly then

The route rated a 5.10a for sure. To rate it as a bouldering problem I'd give it a V1-2. Its a bit short but if you're ever passing through Mason City, it's definitely worth the stop.

Climbing in a volcano in Maui. Now THOSE are some sharp rocks.

Big park in Shanghai, China. There was a no climbing sign so i couldn't resist
