Jeremy is working an overhang problem on a group of bouldering problems up above the highballs of Lewis Rocks. I am not certain what the name of this route is. The crux would be working your legs up over the overhang. Ele, his daughter, watches on in amazement as she desires to one day be a very skilled climber like her father. She has already picked up the sport at age 4. The photo was taken on a chilly day in May of 2005 by zig_painting_n_climbing.

Climber Ben is just getting past the bouldering start of the Faint. At this moment he is in mid motion making a foot switch as he glances down to check his positioning. Soon after he pushes through the slopy, crimpy, small holds to some jugs up to the rest spot. He was close to getting the redpoint and i'm sure will be back to visit soon to settle the score.

This is Jeremy lead climbing the Faint at Birdsboro. This is his project! He pushes through the pain and gets to the top but his goal is to do it clean. I am amazed with so many combinations of moves he creates as he seems to slide up the rock. The crux is at the bottom but it doesn't mean its that much easier up top. He climbs hard and doesn't give up even if he is running on fumes.

I am working my way up Orange Sunrise. I got my hand in the crack and ready to power up....little did i know what was in store for me on the arete. This was a fun and challenging route. I will definitely climb this route many times over before I am satified with my ascension. Photo taken by my friend Dan
