Climber on the classic Horseshoes and Handgrenades. Crappy day for a pic, with the clouded "white out" sky but other than that pretty cool view.

On a beautiful January day in Arkansas, J Lantz captured me futzing on The Lookout.

Standing on top of the kindergarten wall, behind a lot of trees and foilage.

This was my first lead climb and it was on Little Manly Man. Jason who is spotting me worked with me the whole week. He was a great teacher.

This was my first lead EVER. It was really easy. kinda like walking up the rock.

A Classic slightly overhanging arete problem from sit start. It is in the North Forty Boulders. Find it in the guidebook. Tip: Not as much fun on a hot afternoon in September.

this isn't a named problem probably because its somewhat easy but gets pretty high off the ground because of terrain slope.

This is the first of the series of climbs I've redpointed.

This one was taken while i was on leave from iraq with my cousin John(lousisan_climber)

Leading on Centurion. The Roman Wall is the most spectacular looking wall at HCR.

Third day at HCR and I was starting to hurt. The morning was clod and still had my layers on.

Third Day climbing, and I was having hard time on Green Goblin. The finish on this climb is very cool!!!

Me having a tea at a cabin at HCR.

OK OK .. So what? I got a beanie under my headbucket. Does that make me a wussy climber?

Good times in Horseshoe.... Was a great 3 days of climbing.

Ahhh! All the splendor of Arkansas sandstone laid out before you. Come, sample, and enjoy all of the beauty that you can. Just be on the lookout for us local types, cause "we don't take to kindly to your type round here"

Emily is styling her was up Treebeard at HCR. This was her first trip there and if you can't tell by the look on her face, she was impressed. She quickly got the hang of Arkie sandstone and was at the top before I could snap to many photos.

This was Emily's first lead in Arkansas. Only her second trad lead ever. We threw her the rack and let her at it. Of course, she climbed it without hesitation.
