Phil the mono-rocket!

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.

Paul Hatalsky getting outta Hell.

Average Rating = 4.33/5 Paul Hatalsky getting outta Hell.

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.

Rarely done, often overlooked, Brian Utterback on the classic Tecnu.

Average Rating = 4.33/5 Rarely done, often overlooked, Brian Utterback on the classic Tecnu.

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

Average Rating = 3.00/5 Tom Slater having fun in the scoop on Amputation, 5.10b.

This is my favorite climb at Romualdo now that the shell on La Conchhita has broken. It has thin sequences, jugs, and a long incut slab at the top. Very fun climb!

Jeff Gater on the first pitch of Rainbow Ballet, a two pitch 5.7R.

Average Rating = 3.00/5 Jeff Gater on the first pitch of Rainbow Ballet, a two pitch 5.7R.

This was the first climb on the wall, and the second at Romualdo. The first pitch is easy and clean. The second pitch takes a lot of skill to navigate and protect, not to mention a lot of guts for a 5.7. Very unique and a classic for sure. photo Tom Slater

One of the original Gang Green, Jeff Gater on Gang Green 5.9.

Average Rating = 3.00/5 One of the original Gang Green, Jeff Gater on Gang Green 5.9.

This climb rivals Shadow on Bishop Peak, and is perhaps better due to the positive nature of the sweet incuts and overhanging start. photo Tom Slater

Thin slab climbing on

Average Rating = 3.33/5 Thin slab climbing on "Shadow" 5.8, Bishop Peak.

Cara Dunahoo cruises into the shade on Shadow, a thin classic slab climb. Originally said to be 5.7, Royal Robbins said... "That's no 5.7..." It was one of the original aid ladders on the Mt. Now it has 5 bolts in 80 feet.

Tom Slater bouldering at the Pearls, Pirates Cove.

Average Rating = 4.00/5 Tom Slater bouldering at the Pearls, Pirates Cove.

About 5 good boulders. Some routes are very steep, some top out, some don't. But the rock is very solid and you can't beat the setting.

It took the the FA party 3 hours to climb the 80 foot tower, bolting on lead. Brandon Thau celebrating life from the top of Tower Three. The "bowling alley" is the triangle pile of large cobbles halfway up the route.

Mt. Doom, aka Twin Rocks.

Average Rating = 3.33/5 Mt. Doom, aka Twin Rocks.

Tower one is on the far left, tower four in on far right. These routes are not to be taken lightly. Helmets are required. Very loose and dangerous. Amazing summmits with registers on tower two and tower three. All routes follow the left skylines of each tower.

With several sets of TR anchors, you can top rope this entire wall and have a blast. All the routes are between 5.8 and 5.10.

Tom Slater on first ascent of Tres Amigos.

Average Rating = 3.29/5 Tom Slater on first ascent of Tres Amigos.

Tres Amigos is a new top rope route at Wagon Caves. It proves that new routes can go up boltless. Be creative and leave the drill at home. There are plenty of trees and boulders to sling. This 40 foot face route goes up thin edges and nice small pockets.

Paul Bernard on Deep Impact 5.10

Average Rating = 4.00/5 Paul Bernard on Deep Impact 5.10

This is Outerspace Wall. Paul Bernard is cobble pinching up Deep Impact, a sweet 70 foot 5.10 with 8 bolts. The Big Rocks area has become a nice sport area for intermediate climbers. Imagine all those Pinnacle N.M. classics without the golden era runouts. Great wilderness feel to the area. New guidebook coming out in the fall.

new route Flowers on Venus.

Average Rating = 3.67/5 new route Flowers on Venus.

This is just one of the new sport routes at Big Rocks. This route has 8 bolts and is on a 70 foot near vertical cliff called Outerspace Wall. It is behind Swiss Cheese wall. Larry Harris is giving it a 4th ascent. First Ascent by Tom Slater and Paul Bernard in April 2005. This is a classic for this area and will give you an idea of the area's potential.
