Rick T boulding in the winter of '89 on the Kansas City boulder.

Old photo of Mark S. bouldering on the back side of the island. Photo was taken in 1989? One for the archives of Hinckley's history.

This is a picture of First Ascentionist Tony Robinson on his classic route Jungle Jane. After ~ a year of work, Tony got the FA of this route named after the girl (Jane) that got away. We were relieved since it meant we could all finally climb & enjoy this great southen classic.

This is just above the crux section of The Obed steep face climb Whatsherface 13a. This is just right of the main Tieranny Wall. This picture of first ascentionist Glenn Ritter was taken by Tony Robinson sometime around 1994 but I can't remember for sure. At the time there were only a handful of routes in The Obed. The route is 80' and overhangs maybe 12'?

This picture was taken by James Stevens and dates back to the hey day of Cherokee Bluffs when Knoxville climbers first started developing the cliffs in force. Rock Your World 10b is the route & Climber is Glenn Ritter.

I'm 95% sure this photo by James Stevens documents the first ascent of Tityos 12a by Glenn Ritter. This picture also was on the cover of a small self-published guide that was distrubuted locally in TN in the 90's. Most of the bolts at Black Mt have since been removed making many of the climbs better suited for toproping.

This shot shows more of the Tieranny Wall and surrounding area. Climber is Tony Robinson and route is Jungle Jane circa 1995 give or take.
