The Back Door, The Monolith, and beyond. It actually hailed on me after I took this picture. photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

This was shot from the top of the Upper Crust during a hail storm. Ouch, oh, doh! photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

This is the Camel. The top rope wall is on the backside (not in photo) of the main body, and Ali Baba goes up the middle of the neck. It is a steep and rad climb. photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

The routes go up the long slab from bottom to top. photo Tom Slater slatervision.com

There is a tiny diamond (not black diamond) on the inside of the piton, and there is writing in it. I'm trying to estimate the FA of these climbs based on this gear. Any thoughts?

Steep natural climbs like this are hard to find in this county. Enjoy 'em!

This is a steep and slippery fun TR on the black East Face. Many harder TR's exist. This is one of the easier ones. Photo Doug Englekirk.

Doug does laps on this like it is a 5.7. Fun to watch, but not good on the ego. Photo Tom Slater

Ken Klis on Sidewinder 5.10b. A traversing fist/OW crack that leaves the summit cave. Unique positioning, unique crack. For more area photos, visit slatervision.com.

Doug Englekirk feeling a "tad insecure" on the best route at the Park. Enjoy the honking and the highway atomosphere.

This is Tom Slater on the 2nd pitch of Tree Route, 5.6 at Dome Rock.

Ken Klis on Edgeucation on the West Summit Block (that's right, West Block), and Steph Boerger on The Fly at Cabrillo at sunset.

A rad climb to photograph, and from the looks of it, a rad route to climb. Hell, 5.12, has killer moves. It's amazing anyone makes it out of the Pit.

The hardest route at Owl Tor. With moves like this I understand why. Please don't try this at home. Strictly Ballroom, Phil Requist launching.

Papa Thau gunning his way up Auto Magic 5.12b at the Tor. What you can't hear is the tiny voice below shouting... "Go daddy!" Magic.

Not just a sinner, an Upside Down Sinner, working his way up and out to the promised land. Thau on Hell..., Owl Tor.

When you're the only bolted route on a wall, it gets kind of lonely. But for those who are willing to go out of their way, a big payoff awaits. One of the best at Cabrillo. Don't be fooled by the name, the poison oak bushes have long since been removed. Photo Tom Slater

An impressive hunk of rock, on the top of a 900 foot hill. Brain Surgery is a sweet line if you got the skills to pay the bills. Brandon Thau's got the skills.
