This is a pic of me topping out the cool problem 'Congelateur' at the area 95.2 in Fontainebleau. The problem is hidding between two boulders and so I found some solitude.

Ben Tsui climbing the sweet boulder problem 'Scary Monsters' at Joe's Valley, Utah.

A lone man from the Japan crew at the base of the Morning Dove White boulder. He spent almost an hour meditating before his next attempt.

I managed to snap a decent pic of this classic prow at Joe's. Phil's climbing it in style... pure power problem

Here is what I would consider one of the great dyno's in Bleau. Red 15 (?) at Isatis.

My pal Phil pulling off a summer send of this intense slab problem.

A pic of me climbing some amazing little pockets at the Sads. I wasn't impressed with many of the problems here, but I think it's slightly better rock quality than happies. (less over-climbed choss)

Ben Safdi working out the lower dry section of Mandala during a heavy snow-fall winter.

These are the boulders at the top of the hill... so beautiful! The problem being climbed is a mystery to me. Wasn't on any topo's I could find. But it's a hard dyno. (maybe 6a?)

This is me a few years after putting up the problem Jerry-rigged which is a link-up of "sinkem low" and "jerry's kids". didn't repeat it that day... that's what happens when the cameras come out.

Here's me climbing a really cool undercling problem at LRC.

Here's an old picture of Brion Voges (sorry dude) sending Thumbalina at an old triple crown comp.

On a recent trip to the Telluride Bluegrass fest, we stopped by the local boulders and found some real gems.

This is a really fun and aesthetic roof at the top of the ridge in the area Rocher de la Reine.

This is just one of the real quality problems in this area. It's not as easy to negotiate as the area Bois-Rond which is right across the path, but there are still great boulders like this 7a+ arete: 'Plumes au vent e depart'.

This is Devon on the amazing red #13 in La Roche aux Sabots. The Red and Blue circuits are as good as they get in Fontainebleau, and the random sit-starts and variations make for some incredible climbing.

In between a snow storm and a rain shower, we got in a good day of climbing... isn't that the story of Fontainebleau bouldering? Here is a German climber connecting the 'Tiroir' sit-start to the "L'angle Ghersen" finish in La Roche aux Sabots.

This must be one of the most popular problems in the Trois Pignons forest of Fontainebleau, and with good reason. There aren't many problems as fun as this.

One of the best things about my trip to Hueco this Christmas was climbing with some really inspirational climbers. I climbed better because of the energy they were providing. James is a cool guy and quietly sent hard problems like this the entire time.

...climbing one more random problem on the thousands of "lost" boulders in the Chattanooga area. i still think the SouthEast has the best quality sandstone bouldering in the world... less polished than Fontainebleau.. WAY more solid than anything out west.

Here is Tim Hinck on this hidden classic near "Campus Punks". The dazzling red sunset behind me made for a great effect in this self-potrait shot.

This is one of the unnamed classics near "The Orb". It is a fantastic problem that involves lots of hauling out the roof, and then this tricky sloper-mantle. Here is Jared McAlpin on this classic.

Here is Sara beginning a great traverse on a winter day at Rocktown.

This problem is the first good line you spot as you walk in to the Rocktown main boulders. Pinch, slope, and crimp your way up the dishes that litter this roof. Powerful and classic.

On a cold snowy day, Sam Lewis sent this problem for the camera. It is certainly one of the classic problems at Rocktown and lives up to its name as you can often hear the slaps echoing across the plateau.

While on our trip to JTree we met up with many interesing characters like this Canadian hoodlum who was down with his goonish brother. They were great company and fine climbers. By the way, Stem Gem is much harder than it appears.

Sam and I really liked this problem in the boulderfield below the Chief. (Squamish, B.C.) This problem and "Airtight Garage" seemed to be the popular ones while we were up there.

Here is Sam Lewis sending this rather hard but stunning arete. "The Cutting Edge" is located in the talus field just below the Chief in Squamish, B.C.

Here is one of my projects at Horse Pens 40. Though I've only worked on it once, I am drawn to this perfect arete. Maybe it's my real-life fear of sharks! Pinch the nose all the way up. It's a classic!

This is a stellar line put up by Chattanooga's own Luis Rodriguez. Here is my pal Benni who sent this scary slab, highball on his third try. The boy's getting strong!

here i am at the base of another amazing route at Laurel Falls, Tennessee... this area has, in my opinion, the best quality sandstone in the Southeast. granite-hard, pure white, and super-sticky.... too bad you can't see it, but this is just a profile pic so you can identify me and say hi at the crag.

This is a picture of Sam Lewis working "millipede V7". He finally got it (not on that trip) and it may be his finest accomplishment so far. The holds are even worse than they appear, but this problem is the epitomy of the quality sandstone slopers down

This is John Gass slapping around on the perfect sandstone slopers at Horse Pens 40 in Alabama. The rock quality is as good as it looks and there is enough rock here to climb for months. It is the best boulderfield around.

Ryan Litchfield climbing one of the most classic lines at Rocktown. The Hobbit starts tough and ends even tougher, but in the middile is some steep jug hauling.

This is my pal Adam Litchfield doing the cruxy and very overhung start to "Full Circle" on the Diamond-In-The-Rough boulder. This was shot with Neopan.

Another interesting feature of the rock at Redstone, Colorado is the cobbles of all sizes stuck into the beautiful red sandstone. These cobbles come in all sizes and are terribly slick. Here is a local, pulling down hard on a cobble traverse.

On an early morning exploratory mission, I discovered yet another perfect handcrack that I just had to climb. Luckily there was a nice place to set up my camera for a shot.

This is a portrait of me during my trip out to Colorado to do some bouldering. Independance Pass was very exciting in its location (views, aspen groves) and the quality and quantity of boulders around. Intruders is a beautiful V4 boulder problem that cl
