Pretty crappy quality photo as it was taken with a point and shoot and then poorly scanned. Anyhow I was asked if I had a photo of this and unfortunately this is the best I have to offer. This is the clip just after the crux.

Shot of the first ascent of Liquid Gold. This is the start of the first crux (pretty low on the route) of this great 90-foot route.

A recent thread on lead bolting techniques made me think of this route. Pretty thin hooking on this one had me excited. The route is Crimping Lessons on the South Astro Dome.

Another shot of Marty Bland on Rude Boys. At first I didn't post this one, because the focus is a little soft. After reading some of the comments on the other shot though, this one may be better received. Photo by socalbolter.
