This was taken at Yellow Birch Ravine in Indiana.

I took a photo of myself climbing at my secret Louisville bouldering spot.

I used a tripod and timed capture to take the photos, and then I photoshopped them together.

I am staring at ghostly faces on Boilerplate in the Red River Gorge. Boilerplate is a really new 4 star 5.8 at the crossroads in PMRP. It climbs a lot like 27 years of climbing, but the colors are way better, and I think the moves are a little more thought provoking as well.

This is a new bouldering spot I found in Louisville KY. The only problem is that it's located in some fancy pants neighborhood. At least the grounds keeper said he wouldn't call the cops on us as long as he doesn't see us there too often.

This is Eureka located at the Red River Gorge. It's a four star 5.6 that used to be a trad only route, but somebody bolted it up. Then some traditionalist unbolted it, and then somebody rebolted it. Then the bolts became questionable and so somebody rebolted it again.

It has a great start that isn't too hard, and you can do it without even standing on top of your boat. I used water-shoes that have some really sticky rubber even when wet, and so I just swam up to it. The right side is easy, and the left side had some 5.10 moves on it. The last part of it is overhung, and I could see plenty of holds, but I was high enough and the landing was shallow enough that I was making everyone nervous and they convinced me not to do it. For directions on how to find it, just check out this topic I made on Redriverclimbing.com: http://www.redriverclimbing.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13235

The actual line isn't seen in this photo, it's to the right. I think the choss looks cool though.
