Me about to stick the crux of the Buckets of Blood, starting right of the arete.

Yea that hold hurts. Me at the Beat the Heat 2 competition. A good problem with a tricky bicycle under the roof.

Yea.....I crimp slopers, its what I do. Me at Beat the Heat 2. Oh and yes I know I make funny faces, laugh away.

Me on the hard traverse into the crux of Men's Final #3 at Beat the Heat 2. I got bumped from advanced into Finals ha ha ha I am a sandbagger.

Me begining the aesthetic lip traverse Delicate Soul, V7.

Me ready to finish up Delicate Soul, V7, a beautiful Arete Traverse

Me just starting to enter the thin crimps of Ace Frehely, V10, Luckily I couldn't make the crux deadpoint 2 moves after this because there was a slug in my hold.

Me Bearing down on the sharp crimp sidepull on Something Different V8, Hueco Tanks. No photoshop, just crazy lighting and skill of photographer Robert Miramontes.

A fun easy warm called "Classic" up on a nice sunny hill in Pawtuckaway NH. The downclimb is more anoying.

Me cranking up the feet after sticking the second move of Something Different V8 at Hueco Tanks. Photo by Robert Miramontes.

Me on the very sandbagged(I think) Gill's Egg. A very strange type of dyno problem.

Me hitting the short deadpoint right before the crux Dyno on the Art of Nothing, V8 at the Gunks. One of my favorite problems in a beautiful setting, very Squamish like.

Me warming up early in the morning on an unnnamed problem on the Boxcar boulder. Nice slopers although short.

Me trying my luck on Even Lovely at the Sleepy Hollow area, Trapps Boulders. I needed more than luck though.

Me coming off an atempt of Blaow at Pawtuckaway.

Here me trying the V10 Blaow and coming annoyingly close in 5 minutes before I tried stupid beta and blew my tip. I will return later with a vengence.

Me Flashing the V6/7 Atlas at Pawtuckaway. It is a good name except Atalas was naked and had alot of facial hair.

Me sticking the one move wonder V7/8 Anasazi, in Pawtuckaway. Good rock in an awesome setting.

Keeping the balance on the high right foot(just a little below my right hand) on Pimp Smack a short V6.

Me trying to get over the slopey lip of Boz V9 at Governor's Stable. Fun Problem.

This is Mantel in a Haystack at NorthWest Branch MD. I think it ranks up there with the most pathetic problems ever established. I got the FA of course because I am a loser and live in MD.

Gabor bearing down and sending Better Eat Your Wheaties V8 in about 5 tries.

Andrea trying to figure out the way up the Micro Crimp Slab Nachoman V9 on North Mountain Hueco Tanks.

Here is some tall British guy (sorry don't know his name) trying the last commiting move on Jingus Bells V5/5.12, it is hard to tell but this problem is actually real highball, the boulder behind is a big slab. He is about 20 something feet off the deck.

Me trying to latch the Dyno on Gloria on North Mountain Hueco.

Andrea Szekely racing the sun on the V9 Nachoman on North Mountain Hueco before the park closed. Andrea at this point had allready sent 2 V9's, she easily could have sent but not after 3 days on 1 day rest and another 3 on and at the end of the day.

Gabor hitting the finish on Free Willy V10/11 on the North Mountain of Hueco. He sent in 2 sessions.

Gabor Szekely sticking the deadpoint on Onsight on the perfect V5 highball Jingus Bells on the East Spur of Hueco. This problem is actually very tall there is a slab boulder near it which what the spotter is standing on but a bad fall equals 25 feet, pads are almost useless because of the slab and the fact they would cause you to slide.

This is Ryan(Torch) I do not know his last name, on Dean's Journey V10 North Mountain Hueco. The photo appears Dabalicous, I am not sure whether it is or not but it does not really matter because he did not send this go. It was crazy though we had like 8-9 pads for this thing, they were well used though because th top out is high, there are insecure heel hooks and the problem covers alot of ground.

Unknown climber spotted by Jason Khel on the excellent V5/5.12a Jingus Bells at Hueco Tanks. If the quality on this is bad I am going to be pissed becuase this was seriously a good photograph.

Me biting into the first gaston move of Better Eat Your Wheaties V8, this is the most uninspiring climb ever. I don't know why it is supposedly a classic.

Me in the middle of the V8 the Speed of Life at NorthWest Branch. I got the second balancy ascent after Gabor.

A weird blurred sequence of Slab Dyno V6 at North West Branch. It is pretty fun but is real scrunched up you can see the chalked start crimps.

Finally, I go on to send after the stick of this crazy and hard first move. The low chalked hold which is closest to me is the right hand start hold, so you have to lock off completely over your right hand and trust you feet on an improbable smear and a sick drop knee which ends up being a rand smear as you can see.I guess you can not quite tell in this picture but the right foot is not on a good foot, it is just a section of the roof which has a little bitty bulge to smear on. The move after this is also really tweaky because your right foot peels and flags and you have layback all your weight on this horrible down-facing three finger crimp and you launch for a two finger third-of-a-pad crystal.

Me sticking the first hard lock-off move of Dirty Ernie's Rampage (V9). Your left hand comes off of the chalked crimp rail down and left. One of the reasons this move is so hard is the feet; your left is in a sick deep drop knee which ends up being more of a toe-rand smear, and the right foot is just smearing on almost a roof. This adds up to a very insecure position. It took me 5 sessions before I sent

Me moving into the crux on the FA of Seam Nightmares. This is the hard keyboard match on one of the few useable parts of the seam you have to follow up to the top.

Man, I’m so happy, this will get bombed like all my photos, But I don’t really care this is right before one of the happier moments in my life. Me on the last section of a local project at NorthWest Branch "Seam Nightmares" V8. You follow the thin seam up to the top with only the seam for hands. I don’t even remember me climbing it after the crux, I was concentrating so hard with the rock.
