Nice graffiti paint out job, no? I can't actually make it all the way around the boulder, but it's a great traverse anyway.

Almost at the top. Can't believe I'm not sticking my tongue out with the effort.

No line on the Ramblin Wall, unlike the Voices Wall so I practiced my leading skills on this fun 5.8. Pinkpointed it clean....

Nice choice for lead practice at Willy, especially since the Voices Wall is usually packed. I actually pinkpointed it, no falls.

Amazingly, there's no one on Igor on the Sunday morning of Labor Day Weekend 2004.

Nicotine fit. Pulling the rope from Darth Vader's Revenge at Toulomne.

This route has incredible holds all over the place. It has a nice walkoff from the top, too. Great warm up! I have been informed that this is Cardinal Puff and that it's more of a 4th class downclimb or rappel than a walkoff.

Don't know the names of these routes but they're lots of fun.

A gorgeous July 3rd at the top of South Crack! This is looking back toward Pywiak.

This is the view south toward the Valley with Half Dome in the background. It was an incredibly beautiful day and we were happy to be on top of Stately Pleasure Dome.

There are people on Truck n" Drive and people waiting at the bottom. We did get on though and it was great.

To get to the summit we climbed Blood of the Lamb which isn't listed yet. To get down it's a 200' rap. There's a little speck at the bottom that's Kris Solem. Those are Rob Brown's feet.

This is one of the hardest routes I've ever tried...an 11b. I didn't make it too much farther but it was fun. I'll do it next time! Rich Grigsby led it and took this picture.
