Pat Goodman, all points off, at Hawk's Nest. Dynos are something that Pat proclaims he is not good at...looks pretty good to me. Photo: Wurst.

jay (j_ung), cranking down at the meadow top boulders. this area has seen a flurry of boudering development. oh, and jay, we love the shaved head, it makes you look like you're climbing harder than you actually do! booo-ya-cahh.

kirk enjoys being back home, climbing stellar rock and eating the world's best pizza.

hey ian, why don't you test that last placement? ok. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

again, and the thing is, ian always thought it was cool when emo kids wore wrist-bands. so he made his own wrist-band, really white, and really big.

like he needs any help. just make sure he doesn't mess up his hair. kirk still climbing crack house.

philip climbs generic crack. hand jams are fun.

kirk pulls on some sharp little crimpers, the kind that bite back. interp boulders, NRG, west virginia.

here i am, if you see me, say hi. photo: mulcahy

hehehehehehehe...here's ian again. this time he's climbing pigpen. damn that's sexy.

kirk climbs the classic blue sun. very enjoyable.

if you haven't climbed, or seen generic crack, it's straight up plum. check out the trail line, the wind was blowing pretty hard. phillip climbs generic crack.

ian like to make noise when he climbs...well, i don't really know if he likes to. ian, making noise and climbing the monk.

"hey ian, take a wipper." "uuurrhh...ok." sweeeeet. "uuurhhh....kirk...i'm coming off."

brent stares down pigpen. quite a look, from quite a looker. photo: mulcahy.

i'm going...going, back...back, to crack...crack house. kirk rock climbs.

here's reuben just wondering, what's all the fuss about? ian climbs stem gem in the background. photo: gene.

"ehhh...mother f$%&er...i think i'll place a cam...eeeehhhhhhh." ian climbs scarface.

bouldering on the chube. a classic at least. just plain fun. photo: mulcahy.

so we meet this guy in hidden valley (not the climber, that's Ian "the Brit" Pohowsky) and imediately he wants us to camp with him. kinda shady, but he sure could cook up some pig butt. long story short, he couldn't spot worth a shit, and here's the proof. his retro/hand-made nascar visor is a nice touch. anyone seen this geezer, i heard he was a fugitive?

another spring day in January, bouldering at "the tugging shack", interp boulders. West Virginia for L-I-F-E! best climbing in the world. photo by Kirk Mulcahy.

one of the few problems that were not underwater that day. two gates open on the damn makes for some wet conditions. we all had a great day anyway. nice to be back home.

george climbs a variation on the jaws boulder at hawk's nest. jay's spot insures that george won't fall between the two boulders at the problem's base. if that were to happen george would be going for a little swim.
