Here is the lower half of the crux on Nicorette (12a) at Military Wall. This route is one of the most unique in the Red in the way it climbs and looks.

Here is part two of the bouldery crux on one of the best (and most underrated) routes at Military Wall: Nicorette 12a.

This is me on Left Turret at Military Wall getting ready to make a nice reachy clip while dangling under a roof. This is one damn spooky 11b if you ask me.

No clue what route this is or who the guy is, but this gives you a good perspective on the size of the crag.

Here I am working on Kick Me in the Jimmy. There was no real defined crux, just a few long moves off slopey holds. The pic is a bit dark, but you really get a feel for the steepness of the Undertow Wall.

Here is my friend and mentor Dave Scott warming up on Snooker, 5.12d on the GMC wall at the Motherlode. It's the middle of December and about 50 degrees!

This route is a Red River Gorge classic and a well traveled one at that (as you can see from all the chalk runoff). I am at the bolt just below the "height dependent" crux move.

I was told this is the hardest 10b in the Red and by the butt kicking I took from it, I would be inclined to agree. The temp was about 50 degrees and it had been raining for the last couple of days.
