This beautiful seam is a tasty V4 finger tweaker in the finally access friendly Boat Rock Boulders

Trying to press out a rockover mantle on this one pad rail makes this problem quite spicy

This one pad rail is all you've got to set up for a wicked mantle onto a chin ripper of a topout.

Slab bouldering is a great way to waste the rubber on your new shoes. Boat Rock, Ga has plenty of problems just like this one.

The Boat Rock Boulders are a nice diversion if you're stuck in Atlanta, Ga between roadtrips.

This was Dan's first lead EVER. He had been following me for a year, but when he saw this route, he asked me to rack him up and he led the thing like a pro, even running it out a bit on the steep face above the final roof.

This was Dan's first ever lead and he was pumped out of his gourd as he sketched up the final moves way above a #2 stopper. I almost let him grab my foot, but I wanted a shot of him falling if he peeled.

The third pitch of the four pitch Mescaline Daydream (5.8), is one of my favorite pitches in the world. I've probably done the route ten or twelve times and have never gotten tired of those moves.

The tough part is getting your feet off the ground, then broken dime edge flakes lead up to a tough top out 15 feet off the grass.

This 20 foot route finishes with a mantle out an overhang on suspiciously hollow flakes. I haven't worked up the cajones to top the thing out.

As an aside, my boy Bill is a Professional Swimmer and was recently the reigning World Champion and fastest man alive in the water. He's retired now so I can drag him outside and onto better things(like clibing).

Sheppard was so pale on this route that he threw off my meter and overexposed all these shots. This is an awesome two pitch route high above the raging Tallulah River.

The first time I led this thing, I got pumped and didn't have a #1 friend to protect the crux, so I ran it out 20 feet to the ledge you see, risking a forty foot groundfall. I went out and bought that piece the next day and have since led this route a do

If you've never climbed in Northeast Georgia's Tallulah Gorge, youre missing out on a truly adverturous place

We were literally running for the top of this long, 10 pitch free route on Whitesides scary Main Wall in 20 degree weather on the shortest day in October.

If you're into long sandstone trad routes, you MUST check out Northeast georgia's Tallulah Gorge

The two pitch Primitive Paradox 5.9, is one of the most popular routes in Tallulah Gorge, GA.

If you come to The Gorge and don't do this killer route, You're missing out on Trad Sandstone at its best.

This is what The Gorge is all about. Bullet hard Sandstone cracks 500 feet above the river.
