Dave Billman on the classic New River Gorge/Fern Point route, Mellifluus (5.11a). Nice variety - finger/hand crack; flake; face. Thin, slabby crux (brief). Photo by Mike Adams.

Here is my friend staring down the "Weatherman's Thumb" pinch on his first 13a red-point. It was awesome, it took him 15 tries over 3 years, and the time that he did it, he was the most tired, it was his 5th try of the day! Go BOBO!

Weatherman's Thumb (13a) This is at the end of the crux sequence, my friend sticking the final throw, for his first 13a red point. As you can see, his head smacks the draw every time he does the final throw!

I know its not the best pic in the world and you can only sort of see my face, but it's all I have right now on my computer. I give the route four (out of five) stars. Photo by Dan Fink.

My first .9 lead. Done last summer. Also turned out to be my first lead fall.

My first .9 lead. Done last summer. Took my first lead fall going to next bolt.

This is me leading Totally Clipse on Endless Wall in the New River Gorge in July 2003. Photographer is jinn, who lead the climb first and then stayed up on top to snap pictures. It was getting dark; we topped this one out and walked off that evening.

900 feet to the river, or something like that. I had to really shrink this one down, so it's not the best quality.

It was a beautiful day to climb. My buddy Geir sends Fool Effect, 135 feet of fun, exposure, and a great view.

Me, climbing Fool Effect(NRG, WV) on tr. This is a great climb, just because it's frickin high. At one point I looked down and saw hawks circling below me. 13 bolts. No shuts at the top, but you can set it up for tr with trees above. Make sure you have plenty of rope if you do, though. We had to tie two together.

Spectacular finish to a spectacular route, too bad Chris' hairy foot ruins the shot...
