Looking up the Devils Slide from the above tide ledge.

Just a nice pic of my friend following Cakewalk the day before 2 feet of snow fell in the park.

.. is that it leaves out the grunting and cussing. This is a shot of me in a full-on ass kicking, no holds barred.

Little did I realize that I was about to get my ass kicked as the lusty handcrack morphed into ugly OW.

Costellobr starting the second pitch of Conn's East. Step up, move right to the jug and clip the pin above. Picture taken by ropeburn Thanksgiving weekend.

Forbin climbing a 5.7+ on the right side of the Isles Corridor in the Split Rocks area. The crux is right off the ground, oh joy.

Forbin tops out on Double Start, a 5.7 route to the right of Double Cross on the West Face of the Old Woman. Good climbing, but it suffers from a lack of traffic, kinda chossy. Photo by L. Kaplan.

A pic of me on the short 2nd pitch of Conn's East on a cold, windy day in WV. I was having exposure issues this day, and was second out of 3 in a party. Photograph taken by ropeburn on the Saturday after Thanksgiving 2004. K.

Dave cleaning the 3rd pitch of dark shadows...killer climb on unusuall but good rock.

Here is the photo of my first cam. Awww isn't it cute. I bought it online but don't know what type it is. I can't wait till delivery to find out so who can tell me what make/size it is???

Yanqui on overhanging jugs, approaches the end of the second pitch (5.11b) on an ascent of Lost Fingers/Abrojos y Centellas. The third pitch, in the dihedral above, could be the world's best 5.10d bomber handcrack. If you like 3-pitch 5.11 trad climbs, this route could be worth the plane fare to Argentina.

Cigdem leads Kickiran. This route was like a final exam, after three months of rock education in Huddosk mountaineering club. By the way, it is rated IV+.

This Valley View is one of my signature shots. To get the whole valley and reflection is very technical because, even with a 28 mm lens, I have to stitch 3 or 4 shots together to encompass it all. See more Valley Landscape Shots in my Yosemite Landscape Gallery

Yanqui on a nice, but sharp, 5.10 slab route nearby to the refugio belonging to Club Andino Córdoba. Here's an example where I don't know whether to call the route sport or trad. There are no gear placements, but the route is pretty runout, although I imagine it was bolted on rappel.

Gaby Cendoya diligently watching yanqui climb some semi-trad 5.10 route, which involves gear placements higher up. The beautiful orange face starting up obvious holds about 25 feet to the left is called Naranja Mecanica and was probably the first 5.12d sport route equipped in Argentina, although it wasn't redpointed until Axel Von Müller pulled it off in the millennium 2000.

Yanqui on the crux of Los Museos (5.10a/b). Do this route in one LONG 55 meter pitch and you'll have yourself a great, fairly sustained 5.10- marathon. Take plenty of gear though. Or else divide the route into two pitches.
