Going for the Crux!

This is myself about to conquer the crux on Rio's care, at the Oil Field in Western Massachusetts. Stretching as far as I can my hand falls about six inches short of the next hold, and so I will have to jump to grab it. Then, I raise my other hand, do a half a pull-up, and then perform my famous beached-whale-mantle move. Photograph was taking by Logan, aka the Vermontian überclimber, with a crappy old Minolta digital camera.
