This is a shot of Michael and I climbing Toe Jam in Joshua Tree May 7th, 2005. We couldn't believe the weather; low 70's, light breeze, Gorgeous!

Yup, we love our dutch oven. That, my friends, is a 7 pound chicken with potatoes, carrots, apples, onions, one Newcastle Brown, and two jalepenos. The ONLY way to eat, if you're car camping.

What's better than watching the sunrise in Joshua Tree? Watching it with your dog, duh!

This is Michael on the hairier part of Invisibility Lessons. This is his second time...first time he lead it (not happily I might add). Pretty good butt-shot!

Okay, I know, it's a kissy picture! But I LOVE this shot! This was Michael's way of giving me moral support before I attempted Invisibility Lessons (5.9) on the Future Games Wall in JT. It was a beautiful day...

You can see Part of Invisibility Lessons and the top section of Continum...this is a great wall for HOT mornings in Jtree because it's all in the shade. Fun stuff!

This is me on Invisibility Lessons. This was a challenging climb for me and I didn't get to complete it (I will!)...but check out the hair style I'm rocking! Yeah!

Here's Michael, making this transistion look a little painful...way to go!

Here is Michael starting the bottom section of Ocean of Night (5.10c) Great climb; really fun!

This 5.10c is quite a challenge! It made for some great shots!

This 5.10c was SO challenging! I loved the constant movement on the bottom...a great lesson on weight shifting!

Good grief, you'd think I'd poke an eye out with those legs! This is the bottom of Ocean of Night (5.10c). I think I was looking for a good place to shove my arm! I still can't get over those gangly legs!

This was my first outdoor climb. The wind was up, I was petrified and excited all in one!
