I can't remember which problem this is, something not very difficult, but at least I'm paying *close* attention to my footwork. (photo cred: Terry Simpson)

Sinking the first bomber hand jam on the Wave Crack (V3) at Lincoln Woods. A nice move, and then pretty cruiser from here to the top out. (photo cred: Terry Simpson)

Taken right at that awkward moment of transition from the slopey lip down into the top of the Wave Crack. Pretty sure I pitched off backwards immediately after this was taken. (photo cred: Terry Simpson)

Dmitry Dylov latches one of the topout wrinkles while attempting this little project. He's exaggerating a bit... it doesn't hurt *that* much.

Finally sticking the worthless little wrinkle near the top of this line on a small rock just downhill from the Wave boulder. Two more moves to the top-out...

Me attempting our ongoing project, on a small boulder just downhill from the Wave boulder. Follow the seam up and right till it ends, continue right on bad slopers, top out with full body contact. Thanks to Carl for the, umm, attentive spot...

A beautiful day out at the rocks. I'm grinning like an idiot because I've just polished off Tales from the Crypt, a nice 5.10a, on my first try (toproped).

Enjoying amazing weather in the Bugaboos, early August of 2006

A friend and I arriving at the base of Ha Ling Peak just as the sunlight comes over the ridgeline.

Putting on the brain bucket at the Snowpatch-Bugaboo col before heading up the Kain Route.

Catching the sunrise on Snowpatch. There was a haze of smoke in the air on this day in the Bugs, and it lent the early morning light even more color.

Kris Kang finishing up the dihedral pitch on Ha Ling's NE Buttress route. Super fun, especially at 5.6! Unfortunately, it's not QUITE as steep as the camera angle makes one think...
