Climbers on pitches two and three of Sands of Time, a glorious looking line on Gordon's Rock at Paarl Rocks. (06Aug2005)

Lizanne belays Bill up the first pitch of Gecko on the Belly Button Slab at Paarl Rocks. Fun friction climbing on granite with a great view over the city of Paarl. (06Aug2005)

After scrambling up the India-Venster trail, one is awarded with this grand view of Africa Ledge.

View of Muizenberg Crag from Boyes Drive (24Apr2005).

Steven leading Spazmodic while Jono belays on a nice day in early May 2005.

Me on top rope near the crux of Men With Cow's Heads (5.5). This was two days after the snowstorm before Thanksgiving. Things were a bit wet and cold but great climbing nonetheless. (23 Nov 2004)

Looking down at Teresa as she starts up Birthday Chimney (5.3). The rope was set over the fantastic climb Birthday Crack (5.7), but this was her first day climbing, so she worked on the chimney. (02Oct2004).

My partner and I wanted to do the standard route on the East Face of the Third Flatiron, but he made it half a pitch before he was completely wigged out by the runout, so we bailed. A group of three was right behind us and they headed up. This is a picture of their leader on the first pitch. (17Sep04)

View of the route called The Bone (5.5) on Porkchop Buttress, West Bluff of Devil's Lake.

Eagle Rock in Boulder Canyon. Drive about six miles and find this on the south side of the road. If you've gotten to Cob Rock you've gone too far. (19Sep2004)

Joe (muccitwo) leads up Birthday Crack. He's right at the crux, but the rest of the crack above him is still fairly sustained. Vertical panorama taken on 24Apr2004 (unfortunately, he was in a different position when I took the picture at the bottom, so I didn't include that shot in the panorama, hence his feet are chopped off).

Topo shot for New Box (crack) and Fear and Trembling (face to right of New Box).

I took this shot from the train between Anchorage and Denali National Park. It was a spectacularly clear day - they say that you can only see Denali about 25% of the time because it is usually enshrouded in clouds. (16Jun2002)

Several pitches up Standard Route on Whitehorse Ledge in North Conway, NH. This was only my second time on multi-pitch and slab climbing; very different than what I am used to. Down near the bottom you can see another party starting up at the Launch Pad. Beautiful day and excellent climbing! (21May2004)

Overview of Thin Air Face. The top couple of pitches of Thin Air are visible above the trees near the middle of the picture.

A view of Mills Lake in May 2003. Longs Peak can be seen as the high square-topped peak up and to the left of center.

This is the view of the south face of the Third Flatiron as seen from the Royal Arch (foreground silhouette). (20Sep2003)

Joe (muccitwo) heading up the Lost Face on the West Bluff of Devil's Lake, using the unnamed 5.7 variation for the start. (01May2004)

Joe (muccitwo) leads past the crux of Birthday Crack on a nice cool day at the Lake (24Apr2004).

While climbing the King's Throne, we noticed this bat just hanging out. I wish I could stick to the rock as well as him. (27Mar2004)

A fairly miserable day at the Lake - cold, foggy, muddy, and windy (27Mar2004). But we managed to go up a few easier routes before they became soaked with dew. Here Hoofers_Andy works his way up the start of Queen's Throne.

Doug top-roping Brinton's Crack on a beautiful October day at Devil's Lake. A classic climb with great exposure. (10Oct2003)

Hoofers_Andy leading up Zig Zag. Belayed by Noah. First climb of the day on the first day of the year at Devil's Lake. (28Feb2004)

An oddity at Devil's Lake, the Mouse Wall actually has some friction to it. The rope hangs right over Mouse's Misery. Full Stop is up the crack to the left of the rope.

Me finishing up the fourth pitch on Seal Rock.
