A Yo!Basecamper boulders after dark on the summer East Side camp. I can't remember what boulder it was, I'm guessing it was The Hulk on the Happy Boulder but I'm not quite sure.

I'm half smiling, half grimacing after coming over Cathedral's summit blocks. They scared me... and the rope drag was horrendous. Great day, though!

During yet another afternoon by Sail Away, I got creative with my camera. I missed JTree while I was away, and I think this photo successfully captures the bizarreness of the aura there...

Chris, Ryan, and Sam walk along the beach to Whekenui on a dismal day. We ended up toproping in the rain. The place is magical, though.

Matan and Ido on their perpetual project, Make My Grumpy Cat Dance. This is the legendary Globe Wall at Paynes Ford.

Jay looks particularly docile as Anna racks up to lead Right Peyote Crack. Lovely J-Tree day...

LeeAnn shows what she's made of on a brisk day at the seacliffs in Pohara. Photo by Meg.

Meg hides from the rain on the exposed Gecko Crack at the seacliffs in Pohara. It's coooommmmminnngg...

Canadian Chris hangs (relieved) from the hole during his onsight of 1080 and the Letter G. You can see the rain coming in in the background... oh no, we'll be forced to spend another afternoon drinking on the bunkhouse porch at Hangdog.

Hillary enjoys the "sights" on our birthday trip to Red Rocks. October 2/3, 2004.

Dave (caughtinside) thinks the penje on Royal Arches is fun. September 2004.

UCSD's Sun God festival is the only day the research university's students emerge from the library and attempt to be social. The Climbing Center staff set up slacklines near the center of the day's activities. Amy demonstrates her slacking prowess to hoardes of not-very-sober non-climbers. Note that she is NOT in fact holding onto the tree, like the guy on the other line. May 2004.

Me on top of... Spring Dome, I think... at Courtwright Reservoir.

Meg sketching on an 80-point problem that WAS A TOPROPE LAST YEAR... it's fun being up there, scared, and staring directly at a bolt. Photo by Adam K. (trenchdigger)

Meg clipping on her last route of the day, as the sun sets. I was REALLY HAPPY because right before this, I redpointed my first 5.11... I just HAD to do one more route. Photo by Susan Tam. http://www-scf.usc.edu/~susantam

This was my first 5.6 trad lead, and my favorite trad lead to date. It's a crack to a face section with a bolt and back into the crack. Man, was that bolt welcome. Photo by Art Morimitsu.

Art having fun playing around on a difficult problem in the Sads. President's Day weekend 2004.

Meg at the crux moves of her redpoint (or headpoint, I suppose, since this was the first attempt on lead) of Pinched Rib, 5.10b. Photo by Epic_Ed.

Me toproping a 100-foot 5.10+ called the Komodo Dragon at Lawson Peak. Photo by Adam (trenchdigger)

Art enjoys shade on Heart of Darkness on a hot JTree afternoon.

Heading up to BBQ on top of Intersection Rock... the costume was mandatory!
