At camp, an experiment with firelight and some short time lapse. Dustin looks evil in that stoic pose, huh?

This lead is my first outdoor climb. It's a relatively juggy climb with a nice overhang to maneuver around.

After watching my 3 compadre's competently lead this climb, I opted to clean the route. This is about 2/3 up the climb, at the first crux.

This is John shooting up for a hold up and right. Don't let the zoom fool you, he's way up there.

This is Dustin clipping after pulling through a crux on "Super Amazing Sea Monkeys."

This is me pulling through the "hard move" on Belly of the Whale.

This is Jared in motion pulling through the first crux on "Super Amazing Sea Monkeys."

This is John digging in near the top of Castaways. Look at the concentration. He's about 2 moves from the top.

What could be more important than the rarely documented action of the attentive belayer. Here's Jared keeping watch over Dustin high up on Bircham's Other.

This is Red Dog, the faithful companion of Jared, who came along for the weekend to see a little action and to absorb as much attention as possible from the nearest warm body.
