Bad fall potential at the start dosent get much better on your way up. This is the last gear before the top out 20ft away. Bring offsets nextime

Sean hopes to jam something into the shallow crack, but after realizing nothing will stick, he runs out the remainder of the pitch, crux included, 15ft above his last stopper

Sean battles his way up Pauper**** 5.10bRX at quartz mountain. This crack is anything but incouraging.

One bolt below, One more to go Cool customer! Wish I'd kept camera in hand for pictures of Chris (belaying) on Snow White 10b RX, another 2-bolter on the left.

Detail just for variety, see if it looks any better than the big one. Too friggin' grainy! I was pretty far away though.

Kicking off an afternoon of family-oriented climbing with Accidents Will Happen, in order to set up a TR for the crew. Fun route, though, and heady when you get, oh, 15-20 feet above that first bolt . . . Accidents DIDN'T Happen, though. (knocknocknock) Thanks to manat315 for the photo!

Congrats!! First lead with only a few months under his belt...showin up his big sister...punk! J/K - I'm proud :)

Rob starts 'em early... hate to say it, Rob, but I only give you about 3 years before you can't keep up with him!

Accidents Will Happen...none yet, but I did walk away later with a Nalgene with a broken lid...

Two or three moves before I fell, I want to make a few more attempts at this route at Quartz. Great exposure!!

I was on belay to watch the mule finish this fine route at Quartz. It was a wonderful day of climbing.

Cruisin for a Bruisin 5.11a, Baldy Point, Quartz Mountain. One of the more vertical climbs at Quartz with good exposure. Veterans Day 2005, photo by Mike.

at the top, taking it easy on who's got the juice. nice climb to start out with if you are new to the wall.

My first attempt at topo work, gives you a basic idea of where some of the climbs are on the Sea of Screams wall.

I dont have the book in front of me right now, and I dont know the name of the route hes on.

Climbers on the Hobbit (far left), Accidents will happen, and Snow white?

The Hobbit is an excellent crack climb.The crux, I would say is at the beginning of the first pitch, and the beginning of the last pitch. Wroyce is taking the photo of Karie right before sunset..in the background you can see the tailgate party from the Quartz gathering. So fun!!

Nice view from the Hobbit at the Quartz Gathering. My friend Dave and I climbed the fun 2 pitch crack for the early morning warm up.

The Hobbit is fun and easy and accepts excellent gear. A perfect first route for the area.
