Here I am on the first pitch of a new route in the Quarry at Index. The route has tons of loose rock! I trundled at least 50 pounds of rock in the first 30 feet. I also got a 20 pound chunk of rock to the head. I rapped after that but I'll be back. Just with a helmet. My belayer had mine on.

After climbing a steep thin crack I arived at a nice rivet ladder. Pretty easy climbing but lots of fun. The route overhangs 10-15 feet in 50 feet. I had my buddy ascend the free hanging line. It was truely funny to watch him struggle. But he had it down by the time he got to the top.

Well here is a photo of me looking truely pathetic. I should have freed the first part of this thing (part shown). But I don't feel like climbing 5.10 in those clunky boots of mine. Have fun. The route goes at 5.12b.

Good climb. Need to free it though. Goes at C2 or 5.12b. It will eat up your small clean aid gear. It takes a leaning right faceing corner. Next time you're in the area do it. If you can free, you are a awesome trad climber.

This is me and Ben rapping off of Canabis Wall on the Chief. photo was taken by Derek ?

Here is a pic of Leviticus Wall. It is really a cool wall. People who can free climb these trad lines are unbeleivable. Luckly most of the routes here can be aided. I haven't done any of them but had this pic and thought I might as well post it.

This is me on an ascent of Iron Horse. This route was my first aid climb. It is really easy to do and kinda fun. It takes small to medium size stoppers really well. It is rated C2 but should be C1. In the photo it was all wet after a day of rain. It
