This is a picture of me on the second pitch of 'On the Lamb'. This is a great climb in Tuolumne.

Here's the line of Little Sheba, a great 10a. Am I at 40 yet?

This is my first lead of a 5.10a trad climb. I was so excited to get to the top without falling! Photo by jiadar

We all took different techniques on Little Sheba (10a) in Tuolumne. I looooove liebacking, so that's the method I chose. Sean power jammed the route on lead, then Elaine and Sheila gracefully danced up the climb before I went up and broke the anchor down. Stellar hand and fingers crack.

Chris on his one day free solo of Little Sheeba. The rope is for the Little King Swing rumored to be near the top. He did not run to the climb barefooted though. Onlookers gawk in awe nonetheless. 3 Jul 2005

Very fun climb. A challenge deciding between jamming the intermittent finger slots or squeezing in pro. Pumped out and took a few. Photo by Elaine. 3 Jul 2005

Sheila on her way up to topout jubilation. Both she and Elaine freed the route in style. Photo by Chris. 3 Jul 2005

Pic of me getting ready to place some gear on the 4th pitch of On the Lamb. Did this route as a party of 3 with Sarah and Rob -- I lead 1 and 3, Sarah lead the second pitch and Rob lead the 3rd cruxy pitch.

This is me following on the 3rd pitch of On The Lamb. I was getting pumped out (can't you tell by the face?). It was an awesome day and a great climb. I was super impressed by Rob's lead on this pitch.

Sarah following on the third pitch of On The Lamb. Almost to the belay and just past the best rest on the pitch. Just a couple more little pumpy moves and you're at the belay!

Doing pull-ups On The Lamb. Pull up to look at the crack, down to rest and pick gear, back up to place, and move on... repeat as necessary. I was lucky to have some friends ahead of me giving me support and taking this picture. Thanks Rob! And thanks Paul for giving me a great belay!

Gabe showing us how it's done. Great smearing on a truly classic line.

What a traverse! Thanks to Gabe Hopper who led this and was able to capture me doing one of the most classic routes Tuolumne has to offer.

You can see the weather is getting spooky... classic climb, just classic. Thanks to Gabe who led this and was able to capture me doing one of the most classic routes Tuolumne has to offer (IMHO).

Just another shot in a sequence. Classic line, classic climb, classic summer day in Tuolumne with scary clouds overhead!

Like Whitey Bulger, I'm on the lam!

Just about to start the 5.9 section
