First big wall, first time jumaring.

Thanks to Ry bread for the photo and the climb

First big wall climb; amazing.

Stoked! I'm all smiles; about to start up the first chimney...

How awesome that their love for climbing beats out any thought of not doing it because they can't afford shoes. In one sense, sad.....but in the other - no excuses for people who DO have the latest "name brand" hi-tech gear to not push themselves. It's not that expensive gear that makes the climber...

Beautiful formations on the north coast of Taiwan in Yeh Liu National Park

Super fun route, in Geyikbayiri, Turkey

Climbed Mt. Kinabalu in a one day push - kicked my arse. Borneo's highest peak at 4,095 meters.

My mom (almost 60), doesn't climb in age...she climbs on rock. Taiwan - Lung Dung

climbing in a thunderstorm but well protected in the limestone caverns, Adriana Pullhova from Germany ascends "Happy Hilty" in Trebanna West; Geyikbayiri, Turkey

this place was a sanctuary...

a shot I grabbed of Sylvia scaling up...'Tric Tric Trac' I believe. Geyikbayiri, Turkey

sport climbs in Oman

Drove Portland, Bend, Sacramento, LA, Vegas...climbing trips on bikes make it interesting but your ass really hurts after.

god that was fun. :)

YEEEEAH....look at the impeccable technique here. Booty up, laying down. It's called "almost 'fu^&*d".

You've never really lived until a frog's ass has rested on your forearm.

started the approach at 4 and the sun began to come out at as we reached the base

panoramic shot in between "Then Hand of Fatima"

he leaves me to do more important things

I'm sure they've seen this quite a bit but it's still something of interest to see in the hot day.
