Chris Owen on the money pitch c1980. Went back in 2003 and it still kicked my ass.

Making it look easy topping out on the sloth!

A zoomed out shot of evan about to start the roof of the sloth.

Evan spent ages on this route putting gear in below the crux roof and even had time to place a cam half way along the roof! He did enjoy the fist jam to exit out of the roof!

here i am doing nadins traverse(v7) at the roaches.its a good problem thats pumpy and fingery.

a v1 crack,which is normally over a muddy puddle,which makes you not fall off.

catching the top on a classic problem at the roaches

we were above the clouds at the roaches on this day.the problem is an easy one(v1) but its got really nice moves on it.

This route is at The Roaches (unknown specifics) where my English friends found my refusals to take the dyno, quite a laugh. I pulled a hand-foot match off a seam and went for the ever-sloping top.

we were bored one day and thought we would lead this mega run out route.5.14dxx. the picture makes it look alot smaller than it is. v3 really,but you knew that.

justin about to reach for the top on catastrophie international e5 6c ,v7/8.

i went for the rounded top but messed up.its graded e5 6c but its more like a highball v7/8.the landing is flatish but i hurt my ankle.

this is catastrophie international it is a pure pebble route.its given a route grade(e5 6c)but the brave will call it a highball v7/8

Can't remember the route but at the Roaches in England.

these are the balancy moves on to the slopey ramp where a huge dyno is needed to reach the next hold.superb route.

this is the scariest route i have done.i have wanted to solo it for a couple of years now but just kept making excuses.but this day was differant.its a very steep groove which is climbed on small pebbles for fingers and smears for toes.e8 6c (5.13aX)

the conditions as you can see are superb.it was just about freezing but the friction was spot on.this is a 3 star route with gear just a bit too far away for comfort(ground fall)

ben bransby is attempting the 2nd ascent of grand theft.font 7c.its a very hard traverse on tiny holds and smears.freezing conditios are essential to even pull on the holds.

here i am preparing to make the crux dyno on thing on a spring.its a very hard and technical dyno above a long but safe fall
