One the second ascent Tim discovers why the route is called chicken fingers as he approaches the crux. the beautiful thin crack just keeps getting thinner until it becomes useless. Fun but lots of work in an ideal setting.

Tim and I spent some time on a grey day trying to get through his mixed pro traverse but in the end we weren't successful. It's steeper than it looks.

Tim on good sandstone in a pretty setting getting the FA of a one pitch 5.10+ route he calls Trigonometry.

You can see Bob 5.10 and Ed 5.10b the crack/dihedrals on the far left and far right. The center crack is our next destination.

I was climbing Diesel and Dust and saw a climber next to me, looked like a great picture. She was climbing a route (end of an era - I think) listed 5.8+ in the book I had but really more like 5.9, I think some holds must have broken off after the FA. What a beautiful day at the garden

Chuck and I had a great day climbing at the garden. we started on this fun warm up with great rock. did the first and second pitches then rapped. highly recommended.

Tim gets the FA while enjoying the exposure and beauty on this mixed route in the sierra anchas. 175 feet of fun.

Tim on the FA, having a good time on this new route in the AZ outback.

Tim on FA on a fine summer day in the sierra anchas. Annihilation is a 5.10a mixed route, 2 pitches with great exposure and views.

Tim took this pic of me while we were bailing just below the cave. The rain turned into big snow flakes then to rain again. The rock was complete choss, wet, and covered in slimy moss and lichen. Yum

Dave, Sarah, and I spent a day in the icebox. Dave is climbing on Bitch's Britches, a new sport line I finished setting this same day.

Dave smiled his way up this fun moderate on a sunny winter day in isolation canyon. Great rock on this route and fun, easy movement.

Manny playing around Dancing Machine late in the afternoon. We enjoyed a warm day on Finktion despite hiking through snow. It's like a fun little oasis in the winter. quality rock and quality climbs.

Send me donations so I can buy Tim a helmet. The poor bastard has to stick a 20 pound quartzite block in his hood for the sake of safety.

Aaron enjoyed this 5.6 dihedral to chimney and did a great job of it. another fine route in the san tans.

Dave barely hesitated going through the 5.7 roof on this fun climb with clean rock and good pro.

Aaron Collins and I struggled up this route, I am just getting past the thin crux on top - a bit balancy and crimpy.

I saw there wasn't a topo of this wall so I added one. A nice wall in the supes with good rock and some nice lines in a secluded setting.

I can't remember which pitch this is but we're about 1/2 up the route worrying about the pretty but serious clouds behind us. we did eventually get rained on for a little while but hid in the cave then continued once it dried.

After some fast climbing to get there in time we made it to the "cave of the little screaming man" just as it started raining hard. Tim got soaked before he made it so we built a fire to warm him up. it was a nice break, the best part of the route in my opinion.

Dave comes out of the darkness of the icebox and into the light as he finishes Triple point (getting the FA), a moderate, fun exit line.

Tim starts out feeling strong but that doesn't last. A great effort on a tiring route.

Tim did a bit of hanging but got to the top of this long and steep route.

Tim is spent but happy to pull through it. He got some motivation from a few wasps along the way.

Tim's starting to get tired here, hoping for a ledge but not getting it for awhile. A good climb in the shade of icebox.
