Mike Owen climbing Kindling Crack (20) at Long Beach, Dunedin New Zealand

For Ugly photo thread.. yeah.. need 40 charachters for the ugly picture thread.. Photo taken by John.. (coldclimb) i have no idea..

Winston, Laura and I went bouldering on 9/11/04 at the Service Boulder around.. 9:45 pm. We brought headlamps and the crashpad. Made for an interesting time. You couldn't see the feet at all so you just had to smear like crazy. Those were some good times though. Thanks to Laura for the picture.

Just a picture of Winston working the traverse problem we found.. A bit pumpy, but a really fun problem. Good times were had by all.

Just the view on the way back from bouldering in Powerline Pass. A nice shot of the valley. Thanks to Winston for the picture. Taken with Winston's crappy digital camera.

Just a picture of the Cook Inlet, the Alaska Range and Mt. Redoubt. (taken from my deck)

This is me on my first trad lead. I got about 6 feet off the deck and it started to rain. Just my luck.. But I finished the route in spite of the fact that both the rock and I were soaked. Thanks to John (coldclimb) for taking the pictures and for lending me some of his gear to do the climb. :)

Picture of me on Pivot Point (5.10a), a route in the Pivot Point area just off of the Seward Highway. The route is an interesting and somewhat greasy climb with a bouldering start. There is a possible grounder between the second and 3rd bolts, but there is a nice crack in the chimney to make a placement. All in all a good climb.

On the 4th of July Winston and I went bouldering in powerline pass and found a sweet little problem on this boulder.. We never really finished the project, (ran out of time) but had lots of fun working on it..

This is Winston's Hardcore Crux Action Face.. What else can I say...

Bouldering in Powerline Pass on the 4th of July. Winston and I found some pretty sweet little routes along here. Winston working an awesome traverse problem.

Good route on one of the boulders just below Ptarmigan peak..

This is a picture of me climbing in the Castle Hill Basin. The trip was one of my first outdoor climbing experiences. I would reccomend that anyoen who gets the chance to go to Castle Hill should go. Thanks to Jamie for taking the photos.
