Three of us (Mike, Monica and I) climbed the 'Direct South Face', the other three (Tim, Courtney, and... ) climbed 'Bitch in heat' and we all met at the top. Thanksgiving weekend '04

That's me making the long step. Pro goes in the crack above you, once you reach the outside corner the climb continues up.

My partner and I had a great day climbing on saturday Nov. 20th and we were too burnt out to set up the tents so we slept in the truck bed. Good thing we had good sleeping bags.

Nothing worse that getting dumped on 100 ft off the ground. Glad there was a convenient hole to hide in until it was safe to get back down. Came back the next day to tackle the other 2 pitches.

Here I am on Half Time (on Moosedog Tower in Joshua Tree)

Classic climb that was right above my campground this past Thanskgiving. It's nice to be able to wake up, rack up and go. I was able to lead this climb in one pitch by using long runners.
