This is the rail that makes Mr. Clean and Mr. Clean Super Hero. This face is about 12 feet tall with a slopey high walk off to the left. Lots of potential in this mostly untouched boulder field.

Here's KaylinR on Squirrle Port. A fine little splitter on the backside of the titanic boulder. I wish I had a boulder like that in my back yard.

This was my first real crack climb. I finally really know what a lieback is, and how to hang out on jams while placing gear. Its a good thing this climb wasn't 20 feet taller because it ate every #1 and .75 Camalot my partner and I could put together.

A mild spring day at Horseshoe canyon in Arkansas. Why would anyone be out doing anything else??

Here's Hypoxic on Dancing Bears at Horseshoe Canyon. The number 6 shining out of the depths of this black offwidth provides some security while working skyward.

This is me trying to provide pro now that I'm out of humongous cams. Onward and Upward!

It was cool to see a little star power at our local crag this week. We saw a group pulling pretty hard on Tang (v10), then realized who they were. Here's a shot of Sharma, Nate Gold and Dean Potter. Just a little talent there. I didn't get any good action shots of them climbing, but I didn't follow them around and bug them either. My guess is you can see the highlights on the next dosage since Josh Lowell was up in the tree filming.

Here's my gear. It's what I have to work with. If I can't get up it with this, I'll climb something else. Somehow I don't think I'll have to walk away from too many climbs though. Special thanks to my one year old who insisted on helping me arrange my gear. This turned a simple "artistic" task into quite a project.

Just a couple more pieces of pro to plug before the mantle out of the top cave. What a blast for a 5.7+!!! Fantastic route to learn to place pro.

This is what I use to keep my big cams collapsed. It seems cleaner and a little easier than finding a stick all the time. With just a little practice, I can open the cams with one hand and the flick of a finger. It adds negligable weight, and stays attatched to the cam.

This is me leading on Green Goblin at the North Forty in HCR. This is another beautiful piece of sandstone from our little cragging state.

Autumn plus Arkansas equals sweet climbing! This is Green Goblin in Horseshoe Canyon. Got to love southern sandstone.

Submitted this for a profile pic. This is me and my daughter Clarity. We're in the north 40 at HCR in front of around the fur and a few other routes.

This was the last lead of the day. Great slightly overhanging start for the first 15 feet. Once the 2nd bolt is clipped, 60 feet of jugs leads to a great view down Horseshoe Canyon. Fun times.

This is a set of new wood holds fresh out of the shop. There are crimpers, jugs, and slopers made from Catalpa, Walnut, Cherry, Hickory, Red Wood, Perssimon, and Cypress. Just thought I "wood" share since there was some intrest in the forums.

This is moderately tall V3 near the cabins in HCR, Arkansas. 60 second exposure on a tri-pod at night followed by a quick ascent with a headlamp.
