Paul, passing under the traitor horn on the way up to the true horn.

Paul taking on the very fun undercling arch on the third pitch of Fingertrip.

Where every climber wants to be... Riding the horn! A fun route with nice exposed moves onto the horn. Paul on lead.

A close up of the traverse leading to the true horn on the right. When standing on top of the horn and facing east, pull the crux by using the footholds on the left side of the horn and walking one's fingers along upper ridge before jug hauling oneself on top.

Looking down the 5-8 crack from the hanging belay.

Fingertip Traverse at Tahquitz. A fun and 'airy' climb... Tauru, Christy, Becky and I lovin' the view.

In 2002 or so, I took my brother Jay on his first multi-pitch climb up Angel's Fright (5.6) at Tahquitz. He did well, but was scared sh*tless the entire time. Here he is coming up the last dihedral of pitch three. Photograph by Daniel Zatkovich.

Butofcourse shot this while over on the West Face Bulge. Thanks Stein!

Topped out on the beatiful Tahquitz mountain after my first gear lead. Absolutely amazing day. Whod of thought greg and I got into a fight that morning.

This is my partner enjoying the sunset on top of Tahquitz Rock before we have to descend the long hike in the dark.

Denny, Me and Chris after topping out on Fringertrip. (~8yrs ago).

This is just a picture of me sorting out my gear before climbing fingertrip.

Karsti fingertrippin' to the second belay (opt) on Fingertrip 5.7***-Taquitz. Belaying from above the traverse to the lower arch , just below and to the right of the "cruxy" undercling layback section. Cimber is my wife Karsti. Photo by micfoley

Getting ready to start the second pitch on fingertip traverse. Get ready for high exposure...

The downclimb on this sucker is really rough if you don't bring some approach shoes up the rock with you! Live and learn...so, I soaked my feet in the cold run off after a fun day of climbing with tradster. photo by tradster.

we took a nice lil' climb up Jensen's Jaunt to the Traitor Horn..beautiful views and an awesome climb.

I took this photo of givemeshorebreak starting to lead the last pitch of Fingertrip. It was the first multi pitch route for both of us and was a blast. One of the best days I have had in a long time.

Unknown climber finishing up the last pitch of A.F. A very fun route that is sure to never get mossed over.

My first climb on a rope sometime around 1988, and no respectable trad climber would ever be seen in anything but the brightest colors, with matching rope of course.

The view of suicide rock and the rest of the valley was great from this ledge.

Yet another thin face/slab pitch with meager but adequate protection, don't get greedy.

Ground up view of Jensen's Jaunt. The start using the flake rope's draping over can be tricky. Easier start to the left just out of frame. Neil is just below the narrow, right facing trough where belay 1 was. Belay 2 was made on a slopey section at the foot of Traitor Horn, where another party crossed line with us to get at the Traitor Horn. Jensen's Jaunt then goes left around Traitor Horn, with an airy stepout onto a slopey ledge, then up an offwidth section to belay 3 on a wide ledge with a bomber tree at head level. there's a loose dead tree on the edge of the ledge too. Veer right and up the slab face to a topout among huge boulders. 23 Apr 2004
