Sory the photo's so bad. I'll put some better one's up shortly.

This is Kaz on Make Out, 5.11b, without a rope.

This is Kaz soloing make out, a 5.11b limestone sport route. He spent around 30 minutes cleaning and practicing beforehand.

I climbed the route to the right and got some good shots from a ledge and after topping out.

She is just about to fight through some branches on this nice sport route.

This is my friend Kazuhide cleaning my draws at the end of the day on the 25th of October, 2005.

Kazuhide jugging up this fun, overhanging route after working on the 13a Tennenkinen Butsu.

This is Kazuhide climbing a stiff 11b sport route with only trad gear. His first piece is about 15 feet up and past the crux. After that gear is kind of run out and not that comforting. This was the first trad ascent of this route.

This is Kazuhide "resting" on his redpoint of Tennenkinen Butsu. I have no idea what that means.

A little dark, and the best I could do as a belayer, but it gives you an idea of how cool this little place is. He couldn't get it this time, but a week later Kaz made this his second 13 redpoint.

This is my Friend Asai san red-pointing Astro-dome, a 5.11a double crack. Isn't it nice how he has his left foot in a off-width toe-heel, his right steming, his left hand crimping and his right in a hand jam?

my first blown clip, awsome!!! this was at big chief near truckee, california. i glanced into a slab near the end of a 20 footer. there's another scratch on my behind but i thought i'd spare you.

James, Braving the world's most awsome shorts on a slack line in Camp 4.

this is me in some of the awsomest shorts ever (or worst ever, depending on your POV)

Nice day, nice climb

Awsomly overhanging routes, the only drawback being copious amounts of bat guanno.

It didn't turn in to a hang dog party, but I fell towards the top. Sent it on the second try of the day, and the tip of my index finger has been numb since.

It's not too long, but it sure is fun.

Kaz on the short but good Karl's Overhang at Donner.

Kaz further along on Karl's

Kaz starting up the mantel on T-Crack

This is Kaz leading the T-Crack in Santa Barbara

This is Me on Flying high again

It was nice to come back to one of my college TR spots to get the lead.

This is Kazuhide starting pitch 6 on the East But
