View of West Glacier from the western end of lake McDonald. This was taken near the beginning of May 2000 and there was hardly anyone in the park! Excellent time to check it out, although Going to the Sun road was still closed. Photo by Scott Spangler

Named for the obvious pachydermal reason, Elephant rock has great bouldering in the surrounding area. Photo by Scott Spangler

Here I am top roping at Barney's Wall, located up the mountain from the Cascades state park near Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA). Blocky sandstone tends to provide excellent holds although overhangs provide plenty of challenges. Estimate climbs in the area to be from 5.8 - 5.12, getting difficult near the main wall that has the largest overhang. Photo taken by Sheila Spangler
