A variation to the classic climb "Three Pines" is this amazing horizontal roof. Originally sandbag rated 5.8, it is now considered 5.10. Give it a try, excellent gear if you can hang on to put it in... Photo taken by Glenn Tyson, Climber Doug M

Hangerlessbolt leads "Toe Jam" 5.7 in Joshua Tree. A great classic climb in Hidden Valley Campground.

I (TooBigToClimb) shot this picture of Hangerlessbolt as I was arriving at the belay cave on "Overhang Bypass" 5.7 (yeah..right) in Josh. The route goes up the handcrack to the right, around the corner, and out onto the face. Waahhhooo!!!!!!

Hangerlessbolt at the top of "Silent Scream 5.10a" in Joshua Tree after a killer lead.

Sometimes you just have to get creative. Hangerlessbolt's protection while leading "Heart Slab 5.8" in Joshua Tree. Note the nut cable on 1/4" nutless stud held in place by the weight of the rack. Luckily there was a good bolt further up.

Doing a bit a routefinding on the higher sections of Cap Rock required a bit of soloing and some great exposure. The views of J-Tree were fantastic.

meadors climbing over the small roof of Poodlesby (5.6). A great climb on Hemingway.

Stephen Quale on the one-and-only Outer Limits, one of my favorite Yosemite climbs.

This picture is from 1996. and I decided we didn't need Lost Arrow Spire to put up a tyrolean and off we went. Of course we thought nothing of doing this in broad daylight! Well I went across-quite an exhilirating exper

The Mt. Kinabalu summit plateau. Oyabee Thumb is visible on the left, the Dewali Pinnacles are the prominent peaks on the right hand side of the photo.

Victoria Peak is one of the most obvious formations on the summit plateau. Several high standard routes venture up this face, most are 4+ pitches.

After emerging from the rainforest, one is rewarded with spectacular views of the summit plateau.
