Named after Dave couldnt make the high step required to top out due to his insanely tight wranglers. So tight in fact you could read the surgeon generals warning on his can of skoal in his back pocket.

After a few rounds in Hueco's on this sweet sloper heel hook to a suprisingly hard mantle off the point, I decided to test out this killer pair of rock climbing shoes. They are probly the most extreme shoe ever made, make 5.15's a piece of cake, haha. I did find that Pulp Gription is, at this point in time, not doable in tennis shoes.

Zach bouldering on the backside of Baldy Peak on a beautiful day.

Julie working out the nice moves of this terrific boulder problem on the north side of Quartz. Guided by Steve, who was a fountain of beta, I think everyone had a blast that day. Fall Gathering 2006. More shots from the weekend at http://www.freewebs.com/k00lie/fallgathering06a.htm

Larry fighting to get a send. This problem was fantastic. Brute force was no match for good technique here. We spent a lot of time working on this one. A great photo op as well. Fall Gathering 2006. More shots from the weekend at http://www.freewebs.com/k00lie/fallgathering06a.htm

Steve finally takes off his guiding hat and puts some rubber down. Notice how everyone seems to be watching his footwork, which was the real key here. Fall Gathering 2006. More shots from the weekend at http://www.freewebs.com/k00lie/fallgathering06a.htm
