Photo 3 in a series on the crux of loose cannon. This is the hard part, standing up into the right hand undercling so you can reach all the way to the sloper with your left. Photos by lee brinckerhoff.

80 feet of crimpy delicate face climbing to an intense boulder problem back to good face climbing. If the crux moves werent so desperate this would be a three star route. Photos by lee brinckerhoff.

Chris Schulte casually relaxes on the jugs one move from the end of Free Willy.

1969 climbs a cool series of relatively bad sloping pockets. Creative footwork keeps the moves from being ultra-desperate. In the remote are of west mountain known as "The moon" above Shroom, a closer-to-ground-level classic

Campus, match, campus again, get your act together, and pull a nice delicate tall ironrock topout. That's all there is too it.

come on fingers, get in that craaaaak. Me about to come off the true one move wonder Murray Lunge and making a nice goofy face at the same time. Photo...Ben Ditto

Greg (in photo) takes home the prize for most selfless spot I've seen taking the brunt of the fall off Brian on one of the nastiest bouldering falls I've seen.

Kathryn on the V3 to the left of New Religion, forgot the name...maybe Religious Idiots?

the direct sun made the climbing unpleasant, but the light shure was great!

After passing the H and J holds and the Loaf comes this move off the football.

Anders working his way up the awesome juggy holds in the middle section of this north mountain classic.

Blake warms up on this classic jug haul in his tennies, man is he cool. ;)

This beautiful face actaully wasn't as freaky as it looked at first glance, but I still wouldn't suggest to come off the top dyno out of control. This is probably the best V5 at hueco.

Sussing out the tenuous moves on this weird east mountain problem

A little power move (or a long pull off a shallow mono) is necessary to finish this one off.

Short and powerful on wild looking stone regardless of it's broken appearance. It's been called "bouldering on a rope" and after seeing folks climb on it, that's a pretty accurate description.

Holy crap, the fortress is in the blazing sun seemingly all year, and it was incredibly hot in September. A worthwile walk up to satisfy our curiosity, but not the greatest "rest day" activity. For what it's worth, the walls are enormous, Kryptonite climbs near the prominent black streak to the right of the massive roof, and Flex Luthor climbs a little further right. Nothing easy here yet...and Tommy's working a new, gnarly looking project further right of Flex.

There's a serious lack of pics from Rifle, so even though this isn't a climbing pic per se...thought it might be interesting for folks to see who haven't been before.

Easy to shoot this one from the mound off to the left of the route...except if you're belaying at which point someone else has to grab your camera. So thanks to Scott for snapping this one, on a brief rainless moment after 2 days of constant drizzle/showers.

One of a great set of routes on the overhung, generally juggy Rad Wall. The conglomerate at this area is similar to that of Maple Canyon, with the distinction being El Rito has more "negative" holds resulting from cobbles that have fallen out of the matrix, wheras Maple is mostly slopes and cobbles sticking out of the matrix.

What a great route, too bad it's not twice as long. About 50 feet with some of the coolest pinches this side of Mallorca. Tufa's they ain't, but it's just a great, fun route.

He went on to send it for his first time this burn, vowing it was so good that from now on he would do it every time he climbed at Hueco.

Although we heard it was harder than .12a, Lee didn't have much trouble dispatching this overhung route at Calico Basin's Sunny and Steep Wall on his first go and thought the grade to be right on.
