Sandra working through the crux section on the first pitch of Refried Brains....

This is me leading the crux on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Black Velvet...photo by Sandra H.

Here's Paul, from the party behind us, leading up through the Tricky Hand Traverse. I think he and Brett got into a fist fight over who got this lead...makes you wonder about the quality of the belay....

Here's a view of Larry on the traverse from the chimney above. He's more or less at the toughest part, but the entire thing overhangs, so its fairly sustained the whole time you're on it...

Here's the famous 5.11+ roof on Resolution- Larry's just beginning the aid sequence. Just past the lip, it moves back to 5.9 or so....

This is the second pitch of the route, easily visible from the road- look for this corner (the left wall faces the road), the route starts directly below it in a cave.

The first pitch of Nadia's Nine- it's just about as hard as it looks, I think...this is the crux pitch of the route.

Here's Matt (cavitycrew) topping out on Group Therapy. Notice the clouds in the background- we just barely beat the storm that rolled in shortly after we got back to the car. Photo by vegastradguy

This is a photo of The Fox after my onsight of the route. Steep and sustained, this route is a must do if you're in the area!

Almost there....it was wishful thinking to think that the slab at the top would be a walk-up....

This is where you wish it would let up but it doesnt....

This is after I've enjoyed my five minute rest period and begin exiting the pod....fun climbing through here...

The second in the series- this is actually the easier part of the climb, in between the finger crack below and the offwidth above....

This is the first in a series of shots of me on The Fox, a beautiful crack/corner climb- probably the most amazing climb I've ever done...

A rare shot of Atman with no one on it. This classic (albeit short) route is well worth the trek, and while you're there, Yin and Yang is also worth a go!

This is me coming up on the crux of Beulah's Book. Really great climb...The orange wall high above me is the second half of the pitch, a picture perfect 5.8 dihedral...Photo by Bill Thiry, Belay by Larry DeAngelo

One of the problems with alot of the pictures I see of the East Buttress is that its hard to get a good shot of the route from below, due to the nature of its location. Paul managed to snap this one on our descent when we were near Manure Pile. Photo by Paul Wallace.

Here I am following Paul on the really weird (but short) 5.9 pitch before the offwidth section. The orientation of the photo is deceiving. This is a left leaning ramp that's also nicely steep. This was definitely a solid lead for Paul, he made it look easy! Photo by Paul Wallace.

This is me, on top of Moonlight Buttress (well, on the trail near the top, anyway)...this was taken after the cleanup on the day after our summit.

Actually, this is the day after, when we had some energy left and we had finished the clean up. We were both really happy and glad to be heading down. I'll try to get our official summit photos posted as soon as I can get my photo program up and running again.

The now infamous hanging belay, where I discovered the meaning of the word "Dark". I spent over 6 hours in the dark at this belay, at least 2 of them with no headlamp. It was a long night.

Here I am, and yes, we've seen this shot before, but hey, I got to get my own photo of it, you know? It's not as good, I'll admit, but its nice proof that I've been there!
