Unfortunatly, we didn't get any pictures of my first 5.9 lead (over on the NeverMind wall). This picture here is of my 2nd 5.9 lead on the same day. Good day of climbing for sure. I also had my first 5.10a top-rope the same day.

Here is our typical group hanging out at Exit 38. Sean is up on the rock, Go is taking pictures anchored at the chains and Galina is belaying.

Here is Sean working on his first(?) outside 5.9. Great day for everyone.

Same climb (the 5.9 Knife in the Toaster) but camera back a bit. Those are the holds that feel real good to get to.

This is a picture of me and my girlfriend climbing at Exit 38. I had a lot of trouble playing with the contrast and sharpness using GIMP 2.0.

This is Mandy doing her first toprope 5.8 out in Exit 38, WA. This climb is famous for having the only recorded injury on this wall. Someone tried to clip the 3rd bolt, missed and decked. That is what the guide book says anyway.

Was a great day climbing. This is taken at the same time as the other photo of her and I, again, with me trying to use the GIMP 2.0 to fix up the photo. Really wish I new what I was doing with it. :-) I should also say, all of these photos in my album are taken by my friend Sean, who has started climbing recently.

This is a picture of me doing my famous 'no way I'm gonna fall' knee hook. It was my very first 5.8 lead out on Exit 38 in the Seattle, WA area. Picture was taken by my friend Sean.

This is my on a 5.7 lead. It was overcast most of the day and had very little light to work with.
