Myself on the protected traverse into (or in this case, out of) the Nolitidune area of Capo Noli, Liguria, IT.

Making an easy climb look impressive. Climbing on the quiet island of Ko Lao Liang in Thailand.

On the hike into the gap.

Sunset over the Mojave, April 07

Looking out over Calico Basin from the top of Physical Graffiti, a really fun climb!

I only wish they were closer than they appeared, then maybe it wouldn't have taken so danged long to hike in every day. A view of some of Red Rock Canyon on the drive out, April 07

I think this is coming off of Cat in the Hat.

This is why you don't wear shorts when hiking through the desert. Also maybe why you should follow trail markers and not burrow paths. On the hike in to Geronimo, Red Rocks 07.

I go climbing to escape from my normally crowded and busy life... wait...

Cyberbob on lead on the money pitch of Cat in the Hat. Actually, he led most of the route, as I was wussing out due to the oppressive heat. Such a good little ropegun.

Team Bury The Dragon ends the weekend (after finally getting a decent day out on the rock) with dinner and drinks surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the area. 2006 HERA Climb4Life.

Guests and volunteers at the 2006 Climb4Life in Salt Lake City show what they learned from their Brazilian Line Dancing lessons.

By the end of the day, we all felt like this poor puppy looked. Climbing in the snow was good fun, for awhile, but now it was time for free massages and mexican food! 2006 HERA Climb4Life in Salt Lake City

We could handle a little snow, or so we thought.... notice the puffy coats on myself and a volunteer for the 2006 Climb4Life event in Salt Lake City. Jeez, haven't you people ever heard of AUTUMN?

We're only toproping anyway.... Day 2 at the 2006 Climb4Life. Team Bury The Dragon decides not to let a little weather get us down.

Day 2 of the 2006 Climb4Life in Salt Lake city started with snow and coldness. By the time we made it to the Canyon it was sunny and warm. At least for the moment...

Day 2 of the 2006 Climb4Life fundraiser in Salt Lake City was looking like it would be cold and snowy...

it's a human pretzel! Actually, it's just a member of Team Bury The Dragon at the 2006 Climb4Life in Salt Lake City, taking advantage of the free massages offered for after the climbing was done...

Outside of the Quarry in Provo on Day 1 of the 2006 Climb4Life. Thanks to the Quarry who let us use their facility on last minute notice.

Sam, team cpt of TBD at 2006 Climb4Life. Confined inside all day due to weather, Sam gets coaching on how to fall from Michael Reardon (kinda funny, if you think about that...). Problem is, she got on a harder route than she thought she could lead, but she didn't fall.... you go girl!

Well, about half of it anyway. This is The Boy and I's collection of shtuff. We were hiding from Ernesto this weekend and needed something to do to keep us occupied...

After the rain stopped, but before the rock was dry, me enjoying what used to be the Millbrook trail (and was now just another runoff stream).

That's Ken's Crack behind me in this shot taken a brisk, rainy weekend in October. That's me just getting done taking advantage of the inviting waterfall while nary a tourist can be found braving the rain, allowing me to get clean after a week of climbing in a very refreshing way...

No, that's not a tropical scene...that's the water from the recent flooding gushing off the top of Ken's Crack at the Uberfall area of the Trapps.

David leading off on the enjoyable first pitch of Recompense. We did the Recombeast linkage of the route, all three pitches of which were mighty superb climbing!

stays in the camper? Myself in the foreground, Kate (bigevilgrape) and Jake (jakedatc) looking on as we see just how big our mouths are while playing Chubby bunny, a game in which you shove as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible while still saying the words 'Chubby Bunny'. Oh what a wild bunch we are....

Finding my way up the more awkward moves near the top of this nice little climb.

Me enjoying the easy opening moves of Shaelyn's Way, 5.7 before the weather turned sour during the Rumney gathering.

We don't bite....usually. Okay, maybe we do, but in a good way!

Soaking up the sunshine on the fun slabbiness of Big Time (5.7), at Castle Rock.

On my way up to the awkward blocky section of this short, fun little 5.4. Photo by happiegrrrl

View of Stripe Rock from the approach trail. The spring wildflowers (Arrowleaf Balsamroot according to my handy dandy field guide) were running rampant that week, making for some very nice photo ops!

A pic of me on the short 2nd pitch of Conn's East on a cold, windy day in WV. I was having exposure issues this day, and was second out of 3 in a party. Photograph taken by ropeburn on the Saturday after Thanksgiving 2004. K.

View looking down from the first belay of the Great Arch (5.4?). This was the only almost-completely dry pitch of the route, this was also the only pitch of the route in which we weren't plagued by thousands of ladybugs. Seen below is the tree ledge from which many of the routes start on Stone Mtn.

A picture I snapped a little more than halfway across the bridge of the Via Ferrata at NRP.

Dookie (abi) showing us how it's done, yet again.

OK, I know you all read the trip report (riiiight). Now here is the proof. This is me topping out at my first sport lead. The route is EZ Wider, and I only led the first pitch. Notice how I'm throwing myself bodily on top of the climb. I'm thinking something along the lines of, "I love this tree!"
