A classic 5.9 trad crack at Mount Nemo in Ontario Canada. It has a 5.7 cop out at the top the left or a nice mini 5.9 roof to crank over in you are feeling like a 5.9. This is Krillen (me) on my 2nd 5.9 in early August 2001.

Karen (i.karen) pulling the 5.10a roof on the East Face of Hitchcock Pinnacle at Windy Point in Mt Lemmon, Az.

Here I am on the first pitch of Overhang Bypass, 5.7, on Intersection Rock. Good to pause & reflect on the landscape once in a while...especially when it looks like this!

Peter Gram onsighting the second pitch of Edward's Crack, Walts Wall Veduawoo. The roof isn't as hard as it looks because of jugs inside the crack. Most of the climb is great 5.6 hands

This is the first pitch of Soler 5.9- on Devils Tower. I can barely be seen leading as a dot near the tree. A wonderful pitch of 5.8ish fingers in a dihedral.

Two parties bumping together on pitch 3(the fatty) on Kor's Flake 5.7+, Lumpy Ridge Colorado. This is probably the best 5.7 in Colorado - all 5 pitches are outstanding.

rrrADAM leading the 3rd pitch of High E, the most popular climb at The Gunks, a trad climber's paradise. Karen (i.karen) on belay at the "lunch ledge".

This tower is Independence Monument in Colorado National Monument in western Colorado. Otto's Route is the most popular route in the park and one of the best easy desert tower routes in the country. It also has a few harder free lines, moderate aid, and

Some guy from Boulder on Drumstick Direct 5.10 on the Turkey Tail, South Platte CO. A long and very sustained pitch of 5.10 hands and fists.

Some guy onsighting Whimical Dreams 5.11 on the Turkey Tail, South Platte CO. Tricky thin crack climbing through several distinct cruxes on this fine route.

Andrew Gram leading Honky Ass Jam Crack 5.7, at Turkey Perch in the South Platte, CO. Perfect hand jams in perfect granite make for a beautiful pitch of moderate crack climbing.

rrrADAM working an unnamed 5.11c TR at Eagle Lake Cliffs. This is a slightly overhung climb involving underclings & sidepulls with no feet.

Sam Ellison getting ready to place gear on this strenuous 5.10; close gear is recommended or face the dreaded pendulum-into-the-corner

A great climb that moves out onto an arete and a little bit more exposure. Here's Pyp edging out onto the arete

Sure, .10a...anyway, that's what they told us at Romper Room in Nanaimo. When i seconded Peter after his great onsight lead, it felt harder...

A trip across the Nanaimo river & we found this great new fist-jam crack nicely cleaned up; no idea of the grade at the time but Peter decided to onsight it in good style

Perfect route to relax somewhat after all of the notorious Josh sandbags...Sam Ellison is in the groove on this one

Located at the base of the Grand Wall, this route is nothing but A1 quality! This is Pyp making his way up onsight on one of his first 5.10's
