So cute. Deux, the intimidating pup belonging to dear Jen S of Kentucky, oversees Bentley's work in the Skull Cave, Rifle.

The crowd below asked me how I felt and my response was, "My face feels hot!" and they told me to Breathe!!!

Peter walking up this spooky slab at Rocktown one fine day this winter.

Love this problem! Everyone has their own little trick to hold the swing on this steep southern boulder problem.

This boulder problem was no problem for Craig. This is a shot of him right before he snagged the crimps out right and topped it out.

Craig on Bionic Rats, trying to hold that barndoor from throwing him off the top of this problem.

Super fun problem for those with small fingers. Hey, we've gotta have a natural advantage sometimes if height and wing span won't get us small gals there!

I finally got that hold on the 11 in the short cave at the 1st Meadow buttress. Thanks to Unabonger for the pictures.

A nice fall day with Craig, Stephen, Will and Ana at the Meadow. Unabonger managed to take these awesome pictures of the 11 in the cave!

Craig finishing B/C off last fall, 2004. Crux and anchors are just seconds away!

Last move to the sloper (right hand) on Baby Rage - only one more move to the oh-my-thank-goodness-JUG!

At the last powerful moves on this ragin' baby at Endless.

Rollin' through the crux on Tobacco Road at the lake. A great shot of the fall leaves and the rock.

Craig approaching the powerful crux on Black and Blue Velvet.

Craig making easy the technical and powerful face of Black and Blue Velvet.

This picture was taken in fall of 2004 at the Long Wall at the lake.

Making the traverse on Tobacco Road at the lake, fall of 2004.

Moving past the crux of Tobacco Road at the Lake in fall 2004.

Craig at the bottom of B/C, fall of 2004, crisp gorgeous day at the lake.

Craig's warm up prior to a day of crankin' in the coliseum and relaxing by the lake.

The first few moves really sock it to ya on this ragin' sport route. The second bolt is preclipped in this photo (second bolt is a bear to clip!).

The name says it all - this sport route packs a punch for such a relatively short line on Endless.

Strivin'! Craig at the crux of B/C at Summersville Lake a cool fall day in 2004.

This was my first 11 flash (led it on my friend David Hill's draws, with no hangs, never having been on it, flash, right?), so I am really proud of this route! I think the Meadow has some of the most gorgeous rock. The place is really amazing.

Someone thought it'd be cool to take a picture of Meadow and me on our respective TR's. I am on Do It, 11a and Meadow is on the 10hard route just to the right of it. Picture is a little dark, but still fun!

Another photo Meadow took of Steve and me in the Coliseum at Summersville Lake. Admiring the view.

Meadow took this picture of Steve and me at the Coliseum at Summersville Lake. It was a cold and rainy July weekend, but we had a great time! Found some dry rock (miracle!).

Top Roping Do It on a rainy wet July day at Summersville. Nice climb! I am approaching the crux here.

This is my baby niece, Micayla Nicole, born Christmas Day of 2003, and her dad Kris. Kris and my sister, Kelli, don't climb but hopefully I can convince them to let me take my cute lil' niece out to the crags when she's old enough!

Hawks Nest this past spring, bouldering with Andrew (photographer) on a gorgeous day.

Nice little boulder at Hawks Next in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The topout on this problem was really fun - a flat ledge, high feet, mantle-kinda deal.

Warming up with Andrew from Earthtreks (photographer) at Hawks Nest in Fayetteville, West Virginia. This is a fun area to boulder - check out the falls in the background!

Great warm up route to the right of the three bears.

Great short TR route at Pilot. Very intimidating to see from the bottom, but tons of fun!

I love this climb. Every time I am standing beneath it, it gives me chills.

Greg on the Great Arch at Stone. Way to go Greg!!!

Glen climbing Throttle, an amazing problem in Boone at Grandmother Mountain.

One wet spring day at the New this past spring, we managed to find this nice little arete, that was dry!!

Nice little warm up - great sport route! Notice how wet the rock is. That seemed to be the norm this past spring at the New! Was always wet! :-(

The easiest of the three bears at Pilot Mountain, a great little local crag with TR, sport and trad routes (thought mostly TR and trad). Nice warm up route. This was a beautiful late summer day in NC!
