You can faintly see the line for Prodigal Son. It goes up just to the left of when the green crap starts near the middle left of the picture. Just above the right most point of my right shoulder kind of.

The Reverend racking for a desert climb in Arches National Park. Notice the Yates Big Dudes which are no longer made. Time for the Valley Giants!!

Addiroids leading this 5.7 in Joshua Tree on Echo Rock. Fun route and not bad on the runout sections.

This is me doing the first ascent of Manter Hall at the University of Nebraska.

Paul half way up. This is where I wished I had worn knee pads. It was 5.7, but it sure was painful since I could only move 3 inches at a time.

This is my buddy Jake Connors following the chimney. He cruised up the thing where as I took a bit longer.

A little artistic work by me when I was playing with Todd's gear one night at The Gordon Ranch.

Paul (addiroids) leading the first pitch of Direct Northwest Face 5.10c in Tuolumne, Ca.

This me (addiroids) leading Pine Line the afternoon we got down from West Face of Leaning Tower. We went to the Mtn Room bar after droping off a Japanese guy at Camp 4 who soloed Wet Denim and did some Jager shots, then went Curry Village to shower and drink some beer. Since I was the sober-er of the two, I lead. Wallhammer (slightly inebriated) is doing his best to hold a camara, belay, and second. This was the first time Wallhammer climbed on the Captain.

I (addiroids) was so hungry I could eat a carabiner after the approach to West Face of Leaning Tower. Note the characteristic tilted helmet. Haul bag is from Hiro who soloed Wet Denim Daydream. Photo by wallhammer.

This me coiling the rope after climbing on Olive Oil. The weather played many tricks on us that day. First it was clear, then it rained, then stopped, then rained, stopped, rained, snowed, rained, snowed, stopped. Then about 30 minutes later it started raining again...and didn't stop...and rained harder...until at the last pitch (a dihedral) it was pouring down the crack like a freakin' waterfall. Fun times jamming a waterfall at 45 degrees outside. Hey, what do you expect, we are trad climbers?!?! Something about the day is going to suck!!! Photo by wallhammer.

This is a picture of me and my wall doctor, Pete Zabrok. As you can see, Pete has a very good "Wall Tan" from doing West Face of Leaning Tower with Yvette.

I, on the other hand, have a good "real tan" from working construction in Palm Desert. The only difference is that mine won't wash off like his will.

Also, if you notice that there is some imbibement in Pete's hand (given to him by a buddy) you would be a very keen observer. However, you might also know that I have a penchant for Bailey's and Coffee (listed here by volume) and that exact mixture is contained in my coffee mug that I found about 5 years ago (yeah, like I pay for stuff like that).

Everything is better with alcohol.

We saw the Bird at Echo Rock in Joshua Tree. I am in the back with the dark blue fleece on. Wallhammer is in the front with the stylin' shades on. Our other partner, Philip, is in the white shirt. You know the guy in the red.
