Well, what better way to start into leading than jumping on a little 5.9R. I had just flash the route seconding my partner, and have been TR tons of 5.9's...So jumped on this thing. This is Cow Patty Bingo (5.9R).

This was the last climb of the day and it was hard! but definately worth the effort - its a Summersville classic

This is a nice quality slabby 5.9 - I am just pass the crux and really happy to have made it.

This climb is amazing, I didn't want it to end! It had everything - starting with a couple of technical vertical moves to some really balancy slab moves to a nice layback crack to juggy overhangs to a small roof. 13 bolts worth of fun!

This is N8's girlfriend Alex. This was the first time she had ever tried to do any climbing (except at the fair). She was wearing her Tennis shoes too...and still made the climb.

This was the first time Bobbi climbed outside. She climbed this .7 and a .5 on her first attempts. The only problem was the wind that hampered us the whole day.

At Frenchmans Coulee, N8 took the pic with our camera.

This is me on Golden Showers and Group sex (20) at hollow mountain, Gramians, Australia. This climb is awesome, with perfect rock and great positions it's a must do for visitors to this area.

This photo is taken at The Chek, Squamish. The Well of Soul area. My friend Winsor is practising her first sport lead ever. 5.9

This route is at the Roadside Crag. It was my first ever outdoor route and later in the weekend I climbed it as my first ever lead climb.

Queen Creek Canyon AZ is full of wonderful routes like this classic route on the South Atlantis wall. "Grumpy After Eight" (10a) is a great climb for anyone trying to do their first 5.10. The holds are obvious and the slight overhand and exposure make for that sweet adrenaline rush we all crave.

A route called "Neptune "(10a) on the North Atlantis wall of Queen Creek's beautiful rock. This route is a pumpy route up great rock with almost every type of feature, including a great dihedral finish onto an exposed face. This place is a climbing paradise!

This is me CAREFULLY starting up to the first bolt on Bunny Face (5.7) which, like most climbs at Smith, has the first bolt WAY off the deck.

In Penitente Canyon, my first pink point on a SUPER easy route..I can't think of the name right now, but I believe it was a 5.4...the crux was definetly the start, after that the huecos made it cake! Photo taken by Wroyce

This shot was taken August 2002 at the Southern most wall of Cinque Torri called Torre Grande. The route is near Spit Express route but I can't remember the exact name. I think it was rated 8b - 13'ish. The climber was some 40'ish year old Spanish stud that smoked.

This is Ryan on Dirty Thing (5.8) at Birdsboro, PA. Orange Sunshine also a 5.8 is the awesome arete climb on the right, which we climbed that day as well. More of our climbing pictures can be found at Mark's website.

Finally at the top of the Route...Now how do i tell my belay man to lower me again in spanish...i knew i should have remembered that phrase.

Here is me half way up the route posing for a picture of course...a pretty easy route. The fun part of the route is talking with your belay man when all you know is english and and all he knows is spanish...I can sure make up words that sound like they are spanish.

This is a Pic of the hike to where we were gonna climb that day. It was a pretty long hike but was awesome. Spain has some awesome mountains to hike and climb. This hike lead us through a small stream through the canyon.

Climbers on (from right to left)Popeye, Mr. Slate and True Value in mid August. These south facing walls can can get hot!

Getting ready to rappel on Queue de Lion (5.8). Great all-around climb with a bit of everything (face, overhang, crack), and a tough first clip which made me nervous of the factor 2 fall (due to the hanging belay).
