The new sign at Birdsboro. And me. The line across my shirt is from the backpack strap. The ginormous pant legs are from the imperfections in the reflection on the sign. I swear.

Climber Ben is just getting past the bouldering start of the Faint. At this moment he is in mid motion making a foot switch as he glances down to check his positioning. Soon after he pushes through the slopy, crimpy, small holds to some jugs up to the rest spot. He was close to getting the redpoint and i'm sure will be back to visit soon to settle the score.

This is Jeremy lead climbing the Faint at Birdsboro. This is his project! He pushes through the pain and gets to the top but his goal is to do it clean. I am amazed with so many combinations of moves he creates as he seems to slide up the rock. The crux is at the bottom but it doesn't mean its that much easier up top. He climbs hard and doesn't give up even if he is running on fumes.

A cool day in the boro. Gotta love the epoxyed holds. One more move and Travis will be at the next bolt.

Randy on the left side of Denny at Birdsboro. A pumpy overhanging route that's a scary lead. This is the only good rest and even then it's balancy.

Here we are taking a group shot at the quarry,Anne is on the left,Eric(pupujr),Erica(44) and me(Mitchal).We all had a great weekend of climbing her as well as at Chickies rock,the next day.

Here is the picture of Pupjr(Eric) doing his FIRST sport lead.He is on "Itching to climb"5.7-5.8 and also managed to get his first finger injury on the same route.A banner day for the PUP! Picture by :climbinganne

My friend Rachel comes out and scales Itching on her first day climbing. Nothing spectacular, but I thought that was noteworthy.

Luis about to reach the fourth bolt.
