I'm about to head into the 100m long, flat cave passage that pops out at where the falls spill over the edge. We topped out on a 30m 5.6 pitch after the cave, a place you don't want to fall on. The cave is a good laugh and the rumble inside of the falls is weird.

Candace finishing the last few feet of totally runout 5.5 climbing with the falls crashing behind. We did the route with walkie-talkies which made it so much more relaxing to communicate.

Andy and myself poser it up with the falls behind, well knowing in the egg cooking heat that the route is in the bag.

Candace looking super relaxed 1/2 way up the wall with the valley dropping behind.

Andy G. from Manchester who got the view he was excited about.

Andy, originally from the barrios of Manchester England, sits happy with the top of the falls behind.

Candace sizing up what she is about to overcome with the spray behind.

What some may say is the crux pitch as you leave the belay with the rooster tail of the falls in full view. The winds changed at one point and my belayers got sprayed huge.

I'm about to recoil the ropes at pitch six, I think?!

Looking for the best way up crap 4th class ledges on zero gear and poor anchors. The rest of the route has bolted anchors.

Candace appearing to run up the first pitch. She had never climbed really before and did very well on the route's 450m.

Greg heading up the first pitch(5.5). Gets better near the end. The second 5.4 pitch is nice and steep on jugs but is only 15m.

This is what you see when the sun comes up from the parking lot. It is a 10 minute walk to the falls then about 1/2hr up a scree slope.

Candace and Andy hanging out at the ledge that will make you sick. This is the rooster tail spray you can see from miles down the valley.

Sitting comfy at the 5th pitch belay. That is 4th class terrain with some bolts on the traverse. The route heads straight up from there. Two pitches later you are next to the falls. It is crazy to watch the shadow of the falls on the face below!

Our group of three standing at trail's end at about 6:30am. It took us 10hrs to do the route and nearly three to walk off in crap jungle.

Easy face climb with many harder options. Fooled around on many problems on this island jetty. The rest of the park looks interesting to explore. There are many groupings of boulders all around the town of Snyder but likley on private land.

A jetty of land leading to a picnic area. There are some interesting unclimbed problems out here. The overhung face above the picinic table looks wild.

nice finger crack warm-up on the left end of the whale like slab up in the Carnavores. if you skid off you'll get a cactus up the you-know-what.

on some boulder on the edge of the campground. my son was kicking in the dry leaves and watching deer scamper about, this place is so neat.

Dave peers down upon his barely attentive belayer as the wall behind sits splahed with the colorful renderings of plastic gym holds bolted onto the wall. Dave is on a real piece of rock. This place is good fun.

Claire gets a TR from Dave. You can't tell from the low light and autumn alpenglow but the girlz pregnant.

D.Marra solos up the 5.9 crack at Drive-In to get a late autumn TR going for us all. Hey thanks Diamond.

named Cousin Ironman(I loved the Buttermilks). Little more than 5 minutes hike up the iced up Grizzly Creek from Hwy#40 get to a ice spill. Directly across is a fun, tricky traverse on bomber rock that accepts pick placements too well.

Williams Coulee Boulder seconds from the road. This is a dyno problem from a huge jug. Can traverse in from the right or try the far left prow. Bring a pad, there is dead animal bones everywhere. The cliffs above are private property. 28 page PDF topo of the obscure had at: http://www.tabvar.org/mainpage.htm

A nice, hard fist crack on a boulder along Sibbald Corners, only 2 minutes from the car uphill. All the gear is very old and should be locked away forever. A 28 page PDF topo of the obscure can be had at: http://www.tabvar.org/mainpage.htm

the Trump Cabin boulder in the Highwood area near Cowbell Crag. A easy 10min. stroll from the car to secluded spot. Fun going over the overhang. topo at: http://www.live-the-vision.com/cms/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=35&func=selectfolder&cat=1

Illimani is nice backdrop for the cereal bowl shaped slums of the capital La Paz. Wandering into unknown 'burbs is a great way to get your butt kicked- anything for a photo!

Struggling over the crux of the Defiant outcrop with a terrible version of a bouldering pad below.

Old Fiere rock hoppers perched on a cairn up the North Gulley of Limestone Peak. You go left along a ledge from the overhang above and up a ribbed groove.

Dave Marra gives us a pep talk on the first attempt on a 1000m ice/alpine line up the east face of Mt.Inflexible. He later did the first ascent during better conditions and the route is called FunFun.

That is likely what my guide was cursing as I am switching from gloves to no gloves, pick placement to pick placement. But I was suffering from edema and horrified after sleeping through 12 hours of seracs crashing down around our tent.

Taking a nice rest before going up a few hundred feet of slabs on the west face of Huascaran just before Camp 1. That is Cordillera Negro behind, across the valley. I am about to step foot on the Cordillera Blanca. Do you like the 1980s green suit?

Photoshop warning, please proceed.... A burned in Huascaran coming outta the haze from the rooftop of my hotel in Huarez in 1991. Shows how close the peak is away from the main climbers hub-Huarez. After trying to go up the west face route, we slept before Gargantua shy of about 1/2hrs walk so we slept under some big seracs near the end of the icefall and got pummeled throught the night of things going bump, then spraying debris onto us. Our tent was flat to our face for about 12 hours, just say we were in uttter horror. My face burned bad and peeled bad from the intensive heat radiating off the glacier. It's 2005 and I am still alive though!

Peru's highest peak, Huascaran, in the middle of this photo taken from a plane just over the Peruvian coastline!

Last few feet to the summit of Huanay going up the Inca staircase them forged through the last part of the peak. The rest is using chains etc. View from relaxing on the small granite dome boulders of the summit. Can't remember the name of the snowy peak behind. That is not a chalk bag in my hands! but a bag of coca leaves.

A fun, centuries old alpine route(Haha) up Huanay behind the ruins.

Unless you have a very good local driver, you will be scratching your head truing to find your way about around the Salar. You will need a map to locate any of these high peaks, and there are many of them scattered about. Expect many car breakdowns if the vehicles can't handle the lack of O2 going into the carburetor.

After going up the black slopes of Mt.Pacaya behind me in 1991. Easy grunt up steep black rocks to view the top blowing up, very cool. That is lava and steam flowing down the side.

Long way to Merapi, slog up the slopes and hope to god you don't die from the top blowing off this thing!

May not be the right named route, it has been a long time, but nonetheless on the 1-2-3 wall's right end.

Cyro G. of California nearing the end of this long route in the corridor left of Princess Cave. This is not the route's name and I can't remember it.

A great morning warm-up, but may now be off-limits? In 1992, a local was charging tourists a few bucks to TR the on this pillar!

Getting the first good jug on My Crack before heading out up the sweet jam crack. This wall is a 1/2 hr from main Haadrin Beach, which is at the top left of the photo.(1992)

Age is taking its toll! This is from 1992, and my back muscles don't flex so well anymore-I gotta get out more!

Photo of the wall right of Dom's Cave. Some good 10s are on the left and a really nice bouldering traverse takes up the bottom right side of the photo.

Looking left from the famous Haadrin beach to a forested hillside that has many boulder(hard to see in this crappy pic)and a cool traverse closer down by the seawall, but you should do this in rock shoes. The small beach seen on the peninsula's right is where you'll get to- in 1992 there was an abandoned bungalow place hit by a storm some gringos where living in for free. You can swim by the big boulders or do the very awesome crack climb on the beach's left side.

Fun seaside boulder between Haadrin and the main town(easy walkoff). Its a long walk but worth it: constant beaches, some busy some not, many boulders along the way, many topless women. However this photo was taken in 1992 so maybe there is a huge resort in the way.

This north face on the hill overlooking the highway pullout has one of the better landings I saw at Frank. You can pad the sharp lip of a ground slab but falling onto it near the top is feels better than landing on the pad. Sit start and go up great holds as it steepens. There should be a big spray painted boulder nearby visible when you drive east.
