This is the best route I've ever climbed. It is a steep climb all the way up to the anchors and there isn't a good rest. It is very pumpy and it worth it!!!!! Photo taken by Trip Lucas http://www.tripl.com

This is one of the crux moves, you hold yourself from two tiny crimpers. Photo taken by Trip Lucas http://www.tripl.com

Go for it..... Photo taken by Trip Lucas http://www.tripl.com

After this move you get into the third crux in this route, so save some energy for the ending!!!!! Photo taken by Trip Lucas http://www.tripl.com

Was pouring the rain, but the nice 12ft overhand kept us dry about 6 ft from the wall :)

Here's a "covershot position" of Eddie working through the face just past the start of Crystal New Persuasion.

Here's a shot of Van working up the route. The shot is taken from the cave on the route, and allows for some cool DOF and perspective

Robin on Flash Crack and Miles on Touch of Class. This shot gives a great feel for the limestone on this wall. Very different from the other walls in the Greenbelt, which are more pocketed and prone to tufa formation, this wall is more boulders and crac

Another shot from the cave on Meet the Flintstones. I love the look in her eyes, as this is her hardest climb at the time. Curse the durn rope!

I love the coloration in this late-day shot of Steve on the upper half of Tiddlywinks. These random walls never seem to have anyone on them, and are fun routes. They can be found between the Great Wall and the spyglass entrance. The minimal traffic mea

Tracy is traversing from the easy (off-route) start of Cactus Patch to the first bolt

This is me doing the direct start for Cactus Patch (5.10). It is directly under the first bolt. The alternate and easier start is about 4 feet to the left, and the more easier variation is to do the start of Crystal and traverse across.

Here's the Topo for Tiddlywinks, red dots show the on-route bolts. The second bolt is not visible from the belay.

Scott prepares for crux move past first clip on Fern Gap (5.9). He has a bomber high step right and a classic gaston left. He stuck the move cleanly.

Here's a rough swag at the topo (on a photo of the rock) for IAD. We couldn't figure out how to get to the first ledge, there's no way the start is 5.8.

Scott (not me) is flashing Short People (5.9) on toprope, Miles is belaying. One approach was to do a right-knee jam around the horn to clear the protrusion that was the crux of the climb. Scott is right below and obscuring the crux.

This is the knee jam that several people used to clear the crux on Short People. Those people were resoundingly chastized for their inelegance.

Very fun climb...overhangs R awesome! Next time, I'm leadin' that beeyotch!!

Man, I love my new shoes!! They help me climb like the true, solid 5.6'er I am. :-) Seriously, though, I do love them. A lot. Maybe too much.

Susan contemplates her next move on this fun route.
