silo at Upper limits Bloomington, IL

first 5.10c ever attempted... i made it up... eventually.

does anyone know the actual rating of this variation? I'm told it's .11a but i honestly don't know. for the variation to count, do you continue this line on the outside of the arete? or do you crossover after the 2nd bolt onto the slab?

i'm on TR.. but figured I'd practice leading something that is a whole number grade out of my comfort zone... big surprise.. it was uncomfortable! ha ha. fun climb on TR though.. loved it.

... many things wrong with this picture...

This was my first lead climb! Beautiful day on the 2nd of july. Had the place to ourselves practically.

This was a tough shot to get... in hindsight... i wish i'd have had somone bouldering out of focus in the background to balance out the photo and give it a unique charachter. But alas... it's just a neat spider web photo.

this is just around the corner from the sophmore and tons of fun as you walk to mr. jimmy. I have no idea what it's called. this pic was taken facing back towards the exam wall area.

Last summer at Jackson Falls Illinois. Unknown 5.9 around the corner from

Taken on a one of a kind March Morning just before a great day of climbing. Started out sunny and about 40 degrees and rose to about 55-60 by noon. Freezing cold the day before and the day after, couldn't have been more lucky. Just wish the flow would've been higher and i'd had a kayak.

Aawsome place to sit and relax, and maybe goof off a bit.

Last summer at Jackson Falls Illinois. I believe the climb is Spiders from Mars, 5.10b
