John Ford on King Pin - 13a. We've all been in this position before: where you hope like hell that you get the clip and grab the next hold before you fall. I can't remember if he made it or not, but I'm sure that anyone who pushes themselves on the sharp end can relate to what he's going through. Photo by socalbolter.

Brent Webster on King Pin. A great new route located in the Slide Zone. This route is considerably more "thuggy" than other Quarry 13's. Photo by socalbolter.

John Ford on this wonderful new line. He thinks it's one of the nicer hard routes at the Quarry. Considering he's been on most of them, that's a strong endorsement. Photo by socalbolter.
