new england climbing rules. this is pouring rain in january in maine. cold, wet and upside down.

This was one of the craziest moves I've watched. Bill stuck the move and pulled to the top. It should be known that he has the "skrillaz." Photo cred to Navy John.

This is me leading a route at Shagg in Me. This route was awesome the rock beautiful the scenery amazing! I got this route clean second try, i have to admit my first try i was just plain scared this was only my second day leading outside so i hung on a bolt i decided that for the rest of the day if i was gonna weight the rope it better be falling because i couldn't stand the feeling of just giving up.. from that point on i sent all my leads:)
