Photo taken by Pat Goodman. Gumfighter (11d mixed) is a classic route, with everything on it.

Alicia doing the hard first move of The One on the left side of the 45 degree boulder. Cool crimps lead to a very awkward slopey top out. Classic NC.

If you look closely you can see the cam in his mouth. In order to hold the correct body tension, he had to climb with the cam in his mouth and place while on a really bad sloper. This was the first free ascent of this established aid line.

Another classic problem at The Cube on 221. Dyno to the lip and hit the one sloper at the top, then mantle. It doesn't get any better than this.

These boulders are just right in the parking lot. Jim makes this hard crimpy traverse look easy.

Here is Lara doing what she does best. Stylin, crankin, and cracking us all up.

I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many fun, strong women in Boone. Kim literally dances up the rock with grace and ease everytime she climbs.

The always psyched Paul Fueling about to do what he does best. Dyno as far as the body can go.

Pat G. is notorious for putting up FAs all over the country. He has left his mark in Boone, trying some of the most intimidating and hardest lines. This one has not gone yet, but it is a matter of time.

I was trying to capture the personality of the women I climb with. This one says it all. Alicia probably tries the hardest out of anyone I climb with. Can't you tell?
