Greg, Andrei, and Dana (taking photo) prepare to climb the infamous Whitney-Gilman Ridge. Even 30 degree weather couldn't stop us! Amazing views all the way up the only ridge in the northeast. Hugely recommended for anyone visiting NH. Ice and snow gathered on most pitches. It was so cold we had to warm our hands on every move. The last pitch is the crux (a tough overhang with 1500 ft. exposure) - We did it in the dark as the sun quickly descended. Thankfully Andrei (the last one up) had a headlamp. Advice: start early!

The Eaglet is near Eagle Cliff in Franconia Notch NH. My friend Andrei is taking the picture of me. The view is amazing atop this 3-pitch trad climb.

Greg and Andrei atop the famous Eaglet Spire near Cannon mountain in NH. Pic taken by Rob who rappelled down to get the photo.

This is a series of pictures taken in 1987 of Doug Widdis climbing Foops (5.11) at Skytop, an unfortunately now closed cliff at the Shawangunks in New York.

This is me leading The Twin Owls Crack on the little formation (I forget what it is called.....) cool route, I got high enough to place to pieces, but my hands were getting chewed up and I did not want to spend too much time on this route so I bailed off, this is when Matt(spraky) and I invented reverse aid climbing. I bet you can guess how it worked......

This is Peter on pitch one of the wind ridge. It has about 10 minutes after this picture was taken that Nick and Peter became known as Team Rope Drop. You can read the story at me and Matt's site: www.geocities.com/climb_eldorado/

This is Nick on one of his first lead trad climbs, it was on the easy 5.5 crack at Lookout Mountain. You can see the Coors Beer Factory to the left of his back, we always hoped the beer factory would explode and it would rain beer on us, but it has not happened.

The only wall w/ climbing development to date in the San Tan Mtns. Regional Park? & Housing encroachment will shorthly complicate access?

this is me on the awesome 5.7 route, Burger and Fries. A totally awesome crack climb, with a freaky slab up high

My last evening at sqamish was spent doing these 5.6 trad routes at Murrin Park. Great Climbing! Everything felt so pure as the sun was setting :)

This is me rapping down after my first Squamish Trad climb. Great times! After only Trad climbing on limestone, my gear placement seemed extremely solid in the granite!

Steve makes the move from the alcove and out onto the face. Nice exposure with good holds and jams make this a great finish to a fine route. This is the left variation which I chose for the pro placements.

Me and Darren on top of Madnutter at tea time crag Darren got "mad" trying to remove a peice I over zealously placed in the crux so we had to leave the nut in the over hang crux of the second pitch

placing the second peice on toprope safety the protection is THis route is between cascade and the grim squeeker and the crack of cascade is out of bounds so pro is scarce and hard to place

Wouter atempting an unknown route between cascade and the grim squeeker

This is me(elvis) and darren on top of the second pitch of Julie's climb we got a tad lost on the third pitch and ended up aborting the climb

Photo is of Art M. following on 'Horseman' and was taken by James T. on top of the chimney to the right of Horseman. (Nov 3, 2002)

Cool shot of the Linville Gorge at the end of a five pitch climb. On top of the main area, can't remember the name..

This is the second pitch of three, by far the hardest of the three. You don't have to move out over the roof....but if you want a good picture you grab it and hang. :)

this is paul (highclimber) following me and my brother up the first pitch of white punks on dope.

this is a pic of me on Dubng Fu in really really cold weather, fun route. stay in chimney at the top.

This is Chris on the often climbed Smoked Bluffs classic, Pixie's Corner (5.8).

To climb the 5.6 classic on the Trapps in the Gunks the classic way, you must leave your clothes at the base and ascend it in your harness only! This is Christopher Spatz on the "ceiling" as Dick Williams did it in the classic Vulgarian picture from the 1960s.

Heres a pic of me top roping pheadron (20). I am currently trying to get permission to put a bolt down low on this route to make it a safe lead.

Heres a pic of Rachael top roping pheadron (20). Although not teribly technical there is no gear for the first 10 meters and the rest to the top is fairly average. As a toprope this climb provides really nice climbing in a great position.
