This is me right after climbing the crux of the climb. Great route. Wish I would ve taken more pics on it

This is me leading the crux on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Black Velvet...photo by Sandra H.

Sandra working through the crux section on the first pitch of Refried Brains....

My foot greased off a nub on the 2nd pitch and took whipper, clipping a ledge on the way down. Time for some R&R at Starbucks.

After Larry disappeared over the roof... Who knows what the mind of another holds? All I know is - she seemed happy!

From the security of a nice solidly locked in knee-bar, you can just make out my belayer, uasunflower (in red) down there. I got to lead all the chimneys on Epinephrine. She followed them. I had knee pads. She didn't. I only had to carry the rack (which was pretty much useless) while she had to carry the pack (which was pretty much a pain). I LOVED the chimneys. She, um, didn't.

The route is called Sour Mash, but Larry sure isn't looking sour! I don't know for sure, but I think he's relishing the moment, thinking about the roof to come, and licking his lips.

The sharp prickly plants were in full effect with all the we wether that Vegas hah this winter. I so want one of these for my boat. This is about half-way down the hike from Black Velvet wall

Suz cleaning the third pitch on Prince of Darkness. I loved the exposer on this route but the toe pain was awful. And I was a bit cold too. Does this place ever get any sun?

Bolts everywhere on this wall. My nuts were getting really sore from all the hanging on this wall. oh well, nice view looking down.

A nice lead on pitxh 4 of Prince of Darkness. Hey I think there might have even been some great placements on this pitch.

belay station on eppi
