Checking out our intended route on the Diamond of Long's Peak (the Casual Route) from Chasm View

Leighton at our cozy bivy at Chasm View, before going down to Broadway and doing the Casual Route. This turned out to very sheltered from the wind, but the rain came off of the rocks and dripped on us all night.

A friend's rope after a fall by the second on a Shortoff route. I had just climbed the route and saw the fall, and am not sure where the rock could have caused this damage (no obvious sharp edges...). It may have been the rope running into a constriction in the crack.

I call this the "headstone" at Asheoboro, but I don't know the real name of the problem/formation. Probably about V2.

Johny Quest at Asheboro. A very fun ~V3 at Asheboro. Kind of a one move wonder, but still very nice problem.

Leading one of the pitches (right off the belay) of Inti Watana. We finished this route with the top of Resolution Arete, and descended into First Creek Canyon. This made for a pretty long day, with ~2 hours of (up to) 4th class approach and somewhere around 10 hours of climbing. The actual climbing was ~2500 feet, about 13 belayed pitches, a couple of pitches basically moving the belay to a new ledge system, and then another ~100 meters of easy simu-climbing. The descent was not obvious or well marked, and we did most of it in the dark, with lots of back-tracking from cliff edges, boulder hopping, and bush-whacking.

Would you let this man belay you?

Got this photo of an unknown leader on Unimpeachable Groping while we were rappelling the route.
