On her very first aid lead, having never even seen it done before, happy_cat has already figured out how to top step her aiders. Note, too, how she ignores the rain pouring off the rock all around her.

Fighting the pump as I grease off all the holds on this pumpy 5.10d. God I was a sweaty mess.

Jen rallies her strength before heading into the 20 foot crux on Tarzan, a steep and technical 5.8. Sustained, with jams, laybacks, stems, slopers, and crimps. If you can lead this climb, you can lead any trad 5.8!

Me coming down Sidewinder... Route follows obvious crack system on my left... Ladybug, the next route over to the left, is a tough 5.8.

Doug is taking a rest after the burly start before proceeding with the remainder of the pump fest that is Diagonal. From this shot you can see how Diagonal got its name.

Dave is reaching back either adjusting the cam in handjam crack or grabbing the rope to clip the piece he has set in the crack above his head.

Sue D styling up The Nose a 5.9 crack and face climb with great exposure due to a 10 foot leftward traverse that leaves you with nothing but 100 feet of air between you and the ground!

Area local D Gog showing off some early season skills cranking 5.11a on gear. Most lower off from the black sling anchor at the climber's waist, but when you have a reputation like he does the climbing goes for another 60 feet at 5.9...

As Doug says, "Nothing says trad like a group of climbers gearing up at the bottom of a bunch of cracks..."
John is leading Jane belayed by Dave. Tarzan is in the background. Tresan and Doug are racking up for Diagonal while Dan gets ready to head around the corner to lead Intertwine

Recent warm weather in Norhteast allows for some toproping; still a little wet and cold for leading. Tarzan is one of the area classics because it has everything fist and hand jamming, stemming, face, and some OW if you want it....
Thanks goes to Bill "Sendmaster" Neacy for the great shot!

Imagine being able to climb in the Northeast on Jan 21st with just a t-shirt on! That is just what happened today which allowed for climbing CroMag an oldschool 5.10 with a bouldery, way overhanging start and vicious handjams up high.

Dave G TRing Absolute 5.13b X. The first crux move (5.13b) is to dyno off of a tiny crimper, which can be see in the upper right hand corner with a little chalk, to a sloping ledge; this first move is protected by a micronut and a RURP. The second crux (5.12 X) is another dyno from the previous sloper and cannot be protected from 30+ ft groundfall. I guess that is why you TR these things first...

Caitlin cleaning gear after the dicey traverse around the corner on the Green Route. It is crucial to protect the second on this traverse. Slips have occurred, gear has pulled and nasty falls have been taken here.

Here is a good way to belay at the top of a climb if your only options are trees set back from the edge (or even if they are close to the edge). Just walk around the tree when you top out, pull up enough slack to tie an overhand on a bight with the two sides and belay off the bight with an autlocker.

Once I got past the fist few pieces and ground fall potential, leading intertwine was quite enjoyable.

Buttress, one of my favorite routes at
Crow Hill. A good variety of moves are required for this one!

This photo is one of the Crow Hill series, where I spent the day with Craig and Tony. We had a great time even though the climb was wet and mossy.
