sirtoots on another Clack classic. Start at the bottom and go straight up, if it ain't a jug you're on the wrong hold. Photo by kerplunk, taken 10 April 2005

The really long (non-sandstone) wall on the trail to the West Overlook. Lots of cracks and decent holds. Probably should be TRed instead of boulder problems. Hannah thinking "Is he taking a picture?" Photo by lordjim.

A lovely loose hand crack on a 45 degree overhanging part of the long wall on the West Overlook trail. If it wasn't for that spine breaking landing I'd have given it a serious go. I wonder who got the FA? Photo by lordjim

Interesting (non-sandstone) wall on the trail to the West Overlook. Sparse quarter to half pad pockets at about 25-30 degree overhang. Did I mention that if you fall off you go down hill? Photo by lordjim

Lordjim loses is granite virginity at the Beardsley Boulder Pile on 31 Dec 2004. After an interesting approach I finally get to climb at the pile. A place that everyone in Phoenix should go to atleast once. I'm working a V-fun unknown to me problem. Photo by Hannah.

Lordjim on one of the many unnamed problems at the Beardsly Boulder Pile, 31 Dec. 2004. Sit start low in the crack, move to the jugs on top and press it out. Photo by Hannah.

sirtoots on the warmup traverse sometime in Oct. 2004. It's before the first good frost and she's thinking: "Is there a spider here? Is there a spider here? Is there a spider here?"

Lordjim makes the first moves on the center problem at the Traverse Rock after 2 days of rain, 5 Jan. 2005. The low start that looked interesting was still saturated. Photo by Hannah, super spot by nickd.

sirtoots pulling hard on the pockets in the 45 degree cave at Clack Mtn. before her feet crumble away. Problem name and grade unknown to me. Photo by kerplunk

Me warming up on an unknown (to me) problem near the end of the Junkyard. Yup I'm still wearing my approach shoes so you know I'm really warming up. Photo by kerplunk.
