Thomas enjoys the few off-width moments between the hand crack and the squeeze on Supercrack.

This explains the hissing noise I heard while climbing Coatamundi Whiteout on Granite Mountain. This little fella didn't like seeing my fingers on his front porch.

Thomas staring down the work ahead. Unlike Supercrack of the Desert, Supercrack of the Forks goes from hands to body!

Thomas pondering whether the off-width or the sqeeze is the better part of the Forks Supercrack.

If you've been here, you know the move. Dave mantle's the "lip" as I belay from above.

Andy finishing the superb second pitch on Mars Attacks. Nothing but fantastic limestone and great exposure for 80 or so feet of sideways action.

Off-width. Laybacks. Hands. Fingers. Laybacks. Hands. Face. This route has it all! Andy enjoys the start to Beeline, a stellar route!

Andy enjoying the last of the stems, because it's a laid back lawn from here on.

Andy enjoys liebacking the o/w on the second pitch. I, however, grunted and walked gear the entire way. Anyhow, it looks like it belongs in Yosemite to me. The granite is every bit as good as it looks.

Andy enjoying the magnificent first pitch of Magnolia Thunderpus*y. Crisp rock on a January day.

Andy deserves a beer if he finds it. This route feels like a stout at 5.9-. But the January snow should keep whatever he finds ice cold.

Andy enjoying the classic traverse under the Great Roof of Granite Mountain.

Beatriz making a "Beeline" for the anchors before her knuckles swell and she's left as fixed gear. Just kidding. We both enjoyed this superb, thin, low-angle crack on stellar granite.

Thomas enjoying a run up some purple rock on "Cupcake", a nice, new beginner route, at the Promised Land.

Courthouse Rock drawing us in like moths to a flame

Awed by how everything is larger than life in Indian Creek. The sky is bluer, the stone is warmer, and the cracks are stairways to heaven.

After climbing the SW Arete in intermittent rain, we were rewarded with this view from the summit.
