Though I still had some hard moves ahead of me at this point, I was very happy to have made it through the cheese-grater crimps of Misty's crux section. This was my first redpoint of a 5.10, and I was pretty stoked about it! Photo by Frank Nederhand.

Nga lays back the crack on Faith, a nice 5.8 at Sandrock. Though rain was threatening all day, we got in a good day of climbing without getting wet.

I was trying to red point this climb but i fell right after the second bolt (not a particularly hard section) and instead of my belayer letting me hangdog he lowered me all the way to the ground. Considering the crux is in the first few moves, if you dont stem, I was really pumped out but was able to get it in the end. Great Climb.

Jeopard finally sent Midget Digits clean and here we're having a friendly discussion about how much I don't wish to clean it.

Okay, so I let jeopard talk me into cleaning this route although I didn't want to. I was able to send it clean because once you get past the painful part (up to about the second bolt) I just felt obligated to get it over with. I'll give him credit, it was a fun route that I'll still complain about.

Finishing Misty. My only picture of the route because the photographer was too scared after watching my one good fall.

the dixie craggers atlas discribed sand rocks as less than pristine. while i cant argue with that discription, i still found the views pleasant......

after daniel clipped the third bolt he found a cheeto. being hungry, naturally he ate it. turns out richard had dropped it earlier

Fun warm up route!

Just relaxing at the bottom of Sunwall. What a great place. Lots and lots of great climbs. Now if it was just closer to Atlanta, preferably my backyard.

What a beautiful, sustained route! Definitely one of the must climb routes at Sandrock. Great spot for spring break this year with fantastic weather and free camping. Don't let the scary stories about the locals and fourwheeling stop you from checking out this place! This was my first 5.10 lead, I climbed it twice during our trip.

This is me on Misty, a classic 5.10b/c at Sandrock! What a beautiful day in the Bama! Thanks to Will for the picture.

this was a little bolted route, but we never found the name to it. i played around with the photo till i found something i liked.

this was the unchanged photo. it was still kinda neat.

this is a picture of adam climbing windows at sandrock. note that he doesnt have a shrit on. this was in the middle of february.

Here is a little something I put together as a novice photo shop user. it is me climbing a route called Sloth, in sandrock alabama. all photos for the chop were taken by a friend of mine 30 feet away off a tripod mounted sony cybershot. The photo tells the story of the route, I was using a rope by the way ;)

a good but rarely done route. Beware of the rope drag at the top.

A must do trad route at SR. Clipping the first bolt for deceiver is off. At the top there are numerous ways to finish.

This is probably the best route on Sun Wall. Misty's good but this is better.
