Chris on Neptune's child - Proteus (11a)-at Fort Valley, VA. He contemplates the second crux at bolt 4.

Erik B is working the first overhang on Fortis, fun route and great day of climbing

Fun route. Low-angle slab finishes over small overhang with a short, but difficult face.

On a great fall day, I took this shot of my friend Maya on her first slab climb.

My favorite boulder problem at talking head wall. Not sure if it is an established problem, but Dani and I always have fun with it!

Same roof traverse as all the other pictures. Thanks Irish!

Another picture of the infamous traverse at Talking Headwall, just a different perspective

Photo of Pure Energy. 30 feet. 3/19/05. Elizabeth Furnace. Roadside Crag aka Talking Headwall. It's a short climb but if you just climb the face and avoid the blocks to the left and the resting ledge right before the crux you'll find this to be pretty pumpy.

Look for this defilement to start the climb. Clip bolt then head for roof crack.

Clip bolt below blocky chimney then through chimney that takes lots of gear. At ledge, clip 4 more bolts out the big roof.

This is the route furthest to the right as you hike up trail to top.

This is the top of I Love Big Jugs. It looks intimidating but the big jugs through the overhang make it pure fun.

The route follows the small right-facing corner (not the flake), traverses left, and then finishes through the overhang at the twin cracks in the overhang.

Finishing Three Amigos through the overhang. The direct variation climbs the face on small holds directly beneath the exit cracks.

This is the longest slab at Buzzard Rock and the distinctive left to right diagonal flake is quite noticeable even from the road. The direct route is 5.10 (TR) and the flake version is 5.9 (mixed)
