Bill's just below the 5.11a crux bulge of Full Sail. The awesome and unique Conglomerate rock offers a short but stiff crux at a bulge near the top. This bulge can be skipped to the left to keep the climb at 5.10a but the crux is right at a bolt so give it a go!

Roger really wanted this shot and I'm glad it turned out as it did. Leading the "Bunny Slope" is tough on the right foot but offers perfect hand crack jams for more than 120 feet! It ate up all the #2 BD Camalots we could borrow. To add icing to the cake, the top of the climb sports a very comfortable alcove for hanging out in to get photos like this. I enjoyed a couple of hours up there photographing Roger and Bill leading this gem! It's well worth the drive and approach. Photograph by Jason Halladay.

Checkers (5.10b) at Palomas offers fun position on an exposed arete with a wonderful view. Here, Roger Rumsey enjoys the nice limestone rock of the route on an early morning ascent in October 2005. Coincidentally, October is a wonderful time to climb at Palomas because of the beautiful colors of the changing Aspen trees in the area.
