September climbing; Joda on belay. Second pitch more interesting.

Ran into some friends at the top of the first pitch while doing Dislocation Buttress. It rained on us later but we kept climbing and made it down in time to get this shot of them on Tread Gently. Photo taken by Steve Hyatt.

This is the easy 5.9 traverse at the top of the 3rd pitch. I got to onsite the 5.10 pitch. I even went back down and got the old fixed 2 1/2 friend out. 12/18/04 Granite Mountain, Arizona.

This is a good climb to do when you don't have much more daylight. 12/18/04 Granite Mountain, Arizona

The 4th pitch of the Coatimundi/Candyland route traverses out under this great route. Jon leads this very fun, exposed pitch.

Kelly B. makes the route look fun! Redirected/retrobolted to the L of original start, due to shedding of flake used on the FA by John Diaz. Still a bit runout, too. Kelly had a great lead on the direct finish also. Sonso45 took on nikon digital on 090504.

Great lead, Kelly! That's no sport route, it's a bit spacey between a few bolts but you made it look easy. On 090504 by sonso45 nikon digital.

This explains the hissing noise I heard while climbing Coatamundi Whiteout on Granite Mountain. This little fella didn't like seeing my fingers on his front porch.

Andy deserves a beer if he finds it. This route feels like a stout at 5.9-. But the January snow should keep whatever he finds ice cold.

This is me goofing around on a fun 5.7 route at Granite Mountain. I don't remember the name of it, unfortunatly. All the routes there are great. Often called the Yosemite of Arizona. Climber(?): Aimee Roseborrough Photo: Tomas Robison

Jared leading the Great Roof pitch to the right. This joins Coatamundi Whiteout with Candyland to keep the rating at 5.9 The roof pitch leading right is 5.7. There's actually some good feet and protection possibilities beyond the bolt and piton. Belly flopping onto the ledge around the corner makes a neat sound and points your face straight down.

This is for my profile, taken a couple years back in my EASY trad days. Bouldering is where it's at now!

Polarwid checking out the next move on the Swamp Slabs at Granite Mountain. This area is incredible with 500 foot walls and awesome cracks in the center, and beautiful slabs and faces on the edges.

Instead of kickin' it on a big ledge, Mike opted for a hanging belay in cramped corner in order to take some very nice shots; we were both handsomely rewarded.

Absolutely exquisite roof exit.. A must do route if find yourself in Central AZ

Me heading up the crux 2nd pitch of Green Savior. THis is the Cisco Way variation and is super easy 5.8 and highly recommended!

Joe totally running the rope out on the 2nd crux pitch of Coatamundi Whiteout 5.9 variation.

Leading out on the Roof traverse. Joe was bummed I did not leave much pro, I was gripped.
