Bones watching Heiko belay Patrick on this must do cherry line on the Tufas of Homestead.

Patrick has an easy time on the solid 5.11.

Heiko had a fun day and enjoys this stellar line on superb rock at the Homestead.

Bloom working the crux 11+/12- on Resurrection second pitch.

David Bloom leading with Mike Knarzer belaying on the second pitch 11+/.12-. Great scenery, good rock, great exposure.

Mike Knarzer starts the chimney pitch on Resurrection, a sticky and rainy day but we still got plenty of climbing in.

Mike Knarzer working his magic on a new WCC test piece, Bat Ass Crack, solid 5.12 over a tight fingers roof with no feet.

Aaron is happy in his belay seat, being patient while I waste time trying to finish the top of pitch 2.

Sweet hand crack, steep section on top half is much easier than it looks.

Mark took this picture of me going up the first pitch of our new project. This pitch is 5.9-, fun chimney - mixed pro. 2nd pitch will be 5.11 fingers/face mixed also.

Boris hangdogs his way up No White Flag then came back down and led it clean. Nice work, cheesy smile!

Steep fingers to roof on quality rock. So far it's only been taken to the roof but deserves to be finished.

The Russian about 5 feet short of the crux on Eskimo Pie, 5.11c in the icebox/sierra anchas. The rock looks very featured but is quite slopey and steep

Boris climbing the last section of Whipped Cream, a plethora of jugs and nice views once you leave the darkness of the icebox below.

Boris the Russian topping out on Whipped Cream, 5.9 at the Icebox, in the Sierra Anchas. 140 feet of fun.

James Martin attempted to finish a steep crack project but was thwarted by the intimidation of 12,000 compound wasp eyes looking out from their home in the roof.

Mark taking a needed break while leading P1, which will be about 100 feet of traverse on the limestone band, about 85 feet off the deck. I'd call it a ground up ascent but since it's a traverse I'll call it ground sideways. P2 will probably be an arching crack on the inside corner of a large pillar then possibly a 3rd pitch?

Aaron spent a lot of time working this second crux, probably the more technical of the two.

Aaron taking a fall at the 2nd crux of womb with a view. He vows to return.

Aaron Collins working the first crux and having success.

My 6 year old daughter following me at camelback. She's fearless. Love the princess bike helmet.

The chimney route is marked A, the 3 pitch Golden Rule is marked B, and C is the spire top out route.

A shot from the base of Yarnell wall after hours of self mutilation on the approach. If you are ever bored enough to go here, approach from the top instead.

Tim on the first ascent of differential equations, finding out how tight and slow going the short squeeze is down low.

My 6 year old daughter took this snap of me enjoying a perfect day along the salt river. The water is about 8 feet deep, give or take a broken ankle.

Marissa toping out of some unknown short 5.easy, uphill from zonerland in the ridge area. A perfectly cheesy pic.

Some strange formations just below King's Crown, north of superior. Some adventure climbing in a beautiful local if anyone is game

Marissa took this picture across west clear creek. the spot is about halfway to the anti-crag, where there are some sweet crack lines

Marissa took this pic of Mike leading the chossy but fun first pitch/2 of Last Dance. He was gripped but loving it.

Me leading a beautiful line that Tim and I found not long ago. a classic dihedral with a crack that demands good jam work for the leader.

my girl at 4 yo. following dad along the peralta trailhead on some choss. We had a beautiful day.

Dave relaxes at the beautiful summitt area of the Groover (5.10c) in the Eagletail Mountains west of phoenix

One the second ascent Tim discovers why the route is called chicken fingers as he approaches the crux. the beautiful thin crack just keeps getting thinner until it becomes useless. Fun but lots of work in an ideal setting.

Tim and I spent some time on a grey day trying to get through his mixed pro traverse but in the end we weren't successful. It's steeper than it looks.

You can see Bob 5.10 and Ed 5.10b the crack/dihedrals on the far left and far right. The center crack is our next destination.

Tim on good sandstone in a pretty setting getting the FA of a one pitch 5.10+ route he calls Trigonometry.

Chuck and I had a great day climbing at the garden. we started on this fun warm up with great rock. did the first and second pitches then rapped. highly recommended.

I was climbing Diesel and Dust and saw a climber next to me, looked like a great picture. She was climbing a route (end of an era - I think) listed 5.8+ in the book I had but really more like 5.9, I think some holds must have broken off after the FA. What a beautiful day at the garden

Tim on FA on a fine summer day in the sierra anchas. Annihilation is a 5.10a mixed route, 2 pitches with great exposure and views.

Tim on the FA, having a good time on this new route in the AZ outback.

Tim gets the FA while enjoying the exposure and beauty on this mixed route in the sierra anchas. 175 feet of fun.

Tim took this pic of me while we were bailing just below the cave. The rain turned into big snow flakes then to rain again. The rock was complete choss, wet, and covered in slimy moss and lichen. Yum

Dave, Sarah, and I spent a day in the icebox. Dave is climbing on Bitch's Britches, a new sport line I finished setting this same day.

Dave smiled his way up this fun moderate on a sunny winter day in isolation canyon. Great rock on this route and fun, easy movement.

Manny playing around Dancing Machine late in the afternoon. We enjoyed a warm day on Finktion despite hiking through snow. It's like a fun little oasis in the winter. quality rock and quality climbs.

Send me donations so I can buy Tim a helmet. The poor bastard has to stick a 20 pound quartzite block in his hood for the sake of safety.
