Angie about to top out a boulder problem in the Lost Horse area in JTree.

Thomas reaching for the next hold.

Jon Massey leading "Final Act"

Classic Corner IMHO. A little longer, a little tougher, and a better view on the way up.

A stellar line from bottom to top. Had the whole wall to ourselves, aside from a pair that free-solo'd up to the top of Copenhagen before us and another that went on to Dairy Queen for the afternoon. Photo by Ched. 17 Sep 2006

Climber going up the left veering crack, then continue past nice face plates to a short vertical thin crack that leads up to more nice plates or crack to the top. Topside belayer is anchored at a ledge about 100' high. Easy free-solo for another 25' to the very top. Photo by Ched. 17 Sep 2006

This is a simple shot from the base of Double-Dog-Leg in Rock Garden Valley. I think it is a nice view although the approach was a little rough but worth the shade. Photo by: David Burlingame

Some would say, Dwain is in fact the slowest climber on the planet. To all ye blasphemers and soothsayers I submit to you this photo of a one who is slower than he, a tortoise. Photo by: David Burlingame

While Matt was starting his rappel after setting up a top rope, the clouds started to roll in. Lucky for us they didn't break but we will see how long the weather holds out. Photo by: David Burlingame

This is my neighbor, Matt, on his 3rd climb ever. He did very well for climbing in J-tree during mid July, while the temp was 106 F. Photo by Katie Burlingame

This is a decent shot of the route including Matt's tennis shoe while he contemplates how to remove a hex. Photo by Katie Burlingame

This is me, Dave, about 15' up a simple route when I decided to bang my skull off the rock a few times in hopes it would drown out my 2 year old's cheering... I mean screams-of-bloody-murder for daddy to hold her. 2 minutes earlier she only wanted mom but the second I get on the wall.... DADDY! What a cute kid. :) Photo by Katie Burlingame

This is a ground squirrel that looked as if he wanted to climb with us. After a long debate we decided he needs to buy a harness that fits first, until then he has to stick to highball bouldering. Photo by Katie Burlingame

Steve onsighting. Art and another spotting. 15 Apr 2006

This is a three tiered dihedral. Small nuts and a few small cams will get you to the top. Rob Hynes and Rob Seger 1989 enjoying a January day.

Climber on Jane Pauley. Bryant Gumbel has the same start but veers right on the diagonal that soon turns straight up. To the left behind the belayer is the very thin crack of Uncle Fester, splitting the prominent buttress block, that leads up to a ledge and easier climbing up the corner above. Further left near the top, a toprope drapes over the bolted face finish of To Air Is Human. 22 Apr 2006

Climber following up a short face route on the far right side. 22 Apr 2006

Jack didn't like the looks of Aleister Crowley, the grainy corner to the right. He picked out a cleaner looking crack to the left. Felt like 5.7, according to him. Around the corner to the right is the tall prominent face of the Left Hand of Darkness wall that can be seen from the road, located further back and to the left of Blackjack and Uncle Fester. 22 Apr 2006

Sideview of climber midway up Bird on a Wire. Also shown is the walkoff down the boulder gully on the far right end of the wall. The dark dead tree silhouetted against the sky near the top of the gully is where a hive of aggressive bees was reported. No trace of them today. 10 Apr 2006

Follower midway up Bird on a Wire, and another party to their left near the top of The Swift, after traversing out from the left facing corner. 10 Apr 2006

Climbers on the fun dihedral handcrack. 26 Mar 2006

Looking up at a rare 5.7 finger crack. Approach by squirming past some thorn bushes and then crawling through a gap at the bottom of huge boulders. 28 Jan 2006

Up the slab face left of The Velveeta Rabbit. Very smooth face. 28 Jan 2006
