This is Sara bouldering somewhere in Yosemite. I was not on this trip and did not take the picture. The photographer was my friend Brent. I cropped the hell out of it and did a little playing around in PS

Picture taken from our camp near the Buttermilks. It was early morning and cold. At least by my standards (22F). The climbing was great until it started to snow around 3:30

Just a profile shot. Up in a spindly tree near my house. It died from beetles, and was very scary to climb. I took this picture just after toping the tree.

Mike Crimps the flake on Open heart. I know it is just a hand, but I kind of like the contrast with the chalk and the dark background.

This picture of an unknown climber on Turoid 5.12, Snowshed Wall at Donner Summit was snapped from the old Union Pacific rail bed

Unknown climber tops out Rick and Erics 10B Snowshed Wall at Donner Summit. Photo was snapped while on a umm.. Mtn Bike Trip. Hey it's still Rock climbing it's just not that steep and it's on two wheels.

This is a rare picture of Dan (aka padwarmer) not actually laying on the crashpad. Unknown problem north of Fort Ross on the Northern California Coast. We were looking for an area known as Secrets. It still is as far as I am concerned. But it was a nice day so we started climbing on what we could find. Photo by Candice Kelley

Mike working Open Heart a short V10 traverse at Sunset Boulders in Goat Rock State park. The hold seen in the picture is the only thing on thw wall that looks like a hold to me. But when I try to use it, it feels like some kind of sharp finger cutting torture device.
