We ain't talkin' lassos neither. RC's own, j_ung mixin' it up on the first ascent of his new route at the lake. (one of many) i thinks it's called cowboy crumble but it might be crunchy cowboy. I dunno. Can't keep up with these boys. Two bolts on brittle but fun ground and then plug the crack to the shuts. YEE HAW!

Kristen's not shy. Even with a camera present, she's not at all afraid to put her hands all over Wendy's Jugs. I can't say as I blame her. I myself have handled them, they're quite nice.

Robby Balls blending in on the classic Generic Crack. A couple of no hands rests between no. 2 sprints in a funky flaring beauty.

The brit swimming in a sea of Wingate. Ian Pohowsky on the Generic Crack.

Man, Myth and Legend. Kenny Parker (a.k.a. K. Pizzle), enjoying the fact that he's not at work, in a car, on a plane, on the phone and even more so.... Especially excited he's NOT drinking a 3.2 beer. Kenny, we all love you very much. We're here for you buddy.

Elizabeth puttin' on her serious face to crank the crux on this 10+. Not a bad warm up huh Elizabeth? Sorry about that.

Me. Way pumped, way early. Way Rambo on-sight.

This is Incredible!! So that was the crux right? S--T! I was hoping for a yes on that one. Still Chugging on Rambo.

Local hairman, I mean hardman, Kenny Parker gettin' sporty on second ascent of Jay's mixed route cowboy crumble or crunch or crisp.

Some of you all may have seen this guy climbing around the New. I know how y'all feel. At first you're excited about the possibility of a tall, hot brunette that's cranking off in the distance. Then you realize.....It's a guy. Ahh Fayetteville (females not included)

if you can't tell i'm wearing Patagonia underwear...all the cool kids are sporting them. i'm not a cool kid though, so i just beat up a cool kid and steal his (or her) underwear. totally hard core climber bum to the max...extreme!

a cool silhouette, entering the crack house. still a long way to go.

Here I am trying to make ity look pretty. Unfortunately, no amount of drugs could take the sting out of this route. photo by Matt Wurst

oh yeah, you'll need a little extra boost when you get here. diggin' deep. photo by matt wurst.

Another Beautiful fall day at the Gorge. Jeremy giving some skin on the classic White Eyebrow at Hawk's Nest near Fayetteville, West Virginia.

Alaskan Amy making a beautiful route even more aesthetically pleasing. This route is a short 5.9?? a short ways left of Scarface. More layback and lock than jam.

Chris's shadow making it look easy. The classic 5.11 Scarface on an absolutely gorgeous December day.

Matt Wurst making the best of the season's first friction. He sends Southern Exposure (V7?) for his first time. And his second and third and so on. I think it's his new warm up.

Some of the most fun you can have with your pants on. Matt Wurst cutting his teeth and hands on the classic 5.10- Incredible Handcrack.

Along with the leaves at the Cirque, Matt Wurst keeps hangin' on. This is the Warm Up. I think it's an 11 or so. It's raining right behind me as I take this. It's so steep that it just doesn't matter.
