I spent last semester studying abroad in Mali (in West Africa). Mali actually has some great climbing (the Hand of Fatima) but, sadly, i was not able to partake in that. This photos is of me playing around on on some cliffs i found outside of Bamako, the capital. I had an amazing time over there, the people were wonderful, so welcoming!

Filip the "Steel Pole" on the pumpy .11b warm up at Las Animas, I think the name is Ramones Mushroom, because of the huge tufa it ends on

Some huge cams needed for this route! (thats why we top roped it...) he was leading it before we got on it.

the database on this website calls this route "5.10 Roof", someone last weekend called it Deviance... anyone know what the name is? (I prefer the later, less generic)

We love stopping for this climb on the way back to the car at the end of the day, a fun move up over the roof (too bad I cut the roof out of the photo...)

What an awesome climb! he was climbing it before my group, this is my favorite photo of the day though...

I fell near the top of Moons of Pluto, I wasn't too far above the last bolt but I ended up upside down after smacking my ankle very hard on the arete... and now I'm in a boot and on crutches... lame (but no broken bones!)

It was the beginning of a good day... 10a onsight... then 10b onsite... then I tried the 10d and ended up with an ankle the size of a softball... whoops

Silty river beds are fun to play in! This was on our lovely trip in Denali... what a beautiful place!

My first time to the Creek and I love it!

Another amazing sunset at the Creek, imagine that!

Adam coming close to onsighting his first 12

Adam on Breakfast Burrito at the Red, as I was taking these pictures I was thinking how nice his shirt looked with the orange bush in the background... but then I ended up with poison ivy on my shoulder
