Wonderwoman tends to Blue's BoobooThe one positive of hitting yourself in the face with an ice axe is that you get fawned all over by cute climber women ;)

The Head AreteThis was an awesome route, but presents a belaying nightmare. For the belayer at the bottom, picture yourself catching a leader fall and being pulled towards the tide that's coming in. For the the leader belaying the second...with the combination of the crashing waves and wind and the start of the climb being overhung, you will NOT hear anything your climber is saying. It is also the hardest part of the climb, so you have to keep a real tight belay and hope you don't pull them off.

Green Mountain BreakdownPitch 1 of Green Mountain breakdown. We did this pitch twice this weekend with TIff leading it once and me leading it the second time. You climb this pitch to get to Green Mountain Breakdown and Wet Lithuanian, both of which we did.

Nice rackThis is our rack, as of March 2009. This does not include all our gear, including countless ropes, slings, harnesses, shoes, backpacks, etc. Some of it is shiny and new, some of them have seen quite a few falls, and some of them have been bootied. Oh, sweet booty!

Caught in the act of Falling!I didn't expect to fall on this, but then again, usually I do a few more easy routes before I jump on something hard. This was my second route of the day.

Final AttemptI am not really a boulderer, but I gave this V6 a solid go. I came within a move, however and didn't get it. Next time! Did get this photo before I got spit off.

Danglin'Only in the Gunks can you get a move like this on a 5.9. All right, maybe 5.10a. Yes, this photo has been done before, but ooohh, it's so sweet!

Fire from HeavenThis is not the Dover climbing gym, but you have to put in a climbing area and we were driving through Dover. We were on our way up to North Conway and were amazed at how the sky looked. I rummaged around for my camera and took a few quick shots through the windshield. I can't believe how this one turned out.

A little first pitch posingThis was a fun little two pitch sport climb called Charlottes Web (5.9). This was a fantastic vacation but we didn't get many action photos with just the two of us, wonderwoman and I.

Nighttime visitorsEvery night, it never failed. "Watch where you step!" wonderwoman would say. But, nooooooo, Did I listen? There is just nothing more disgusting then slug between your toes. In a vile, slimy kind of way they are kind of cute.

Wonderwoman having a Blast!Here is the beautiful wonderwoman about to tie in. We were at the forgotten wall at Cheakamus. There were some great routes there. There are at least two routes there that I must get back to a later date. I was just one fall too weak.

Some Dude Rockin' OnThis is not me, although from above he kinda looks like it. This is the top of an awesome route called Rock on (5.10a). They were behind us and although I think we were a little slower then they would have liked, they were extremely nice. I wish I could remember their names, but they were from Quebec. Heres a shout out to those dudes from Quebec...hey wait a minute, did I just say "shout out?"

Snow covered peak.Actually I dont' think this is Garibaldi, but you have to put an area in before submitting the photo and I have no idea what mountain this is. Squamish is unbelievably pretty with snow covered peaks surrounding the multitude of rock.

Lion's Gate BridgeThis is the Lions' Gate Bridge heading out of Vancouver towards Squamish. I was very excited at this point, although the airline did lose one of our bags. But I was trying to have a good attitude and was shooting photos left and right.

Josh goin' Cold TurkeyTHis is a fun climb but I think I had a mental block on it. Last time I was on it, I fell, even though I should have done it easily. Well, this time it was easy. Another one checked off my list.

My brother's first time climbingThis is my brother's first time outside. He doesn't have shoes and said mine were too painfully tight, so he opted for his hiking boots. Well, this was a climb I found that I thought he could get up. It was easy, but i still enjoyed it.

Wonderwoman following Easy DayThis was an easy but fun climb. We did it to get my brother on something that he could do in his hiking boots. This is more face climby and ledgy like we are used to in the Northeast. I led and set up camp to take pictures.

Sillouette of BEC on Toe Jam!This was a great climb. I got a little spooked at the top and read it wrong but finished it out after a hang to clear my head. Wasn't so much difficult as mental. I'll know better next time.

WOnderwoman and Blueeyedclimber's first time in Jtree!We love this place, even though us northeast face climbers are getting spanked by these western cracks. Everything seems hard, but in a good way. We only had two days to climb but had a blast!

These Cracks are Hard!This was our first trip of hopefully many to Joshua Tree. I went with my wife (wonderwoman) and my brother (who doesn't climb). I have heard of the stiffness of the grades, and combine that with my crack noobiness, I didn't expect to put too much emphasis on the grades. THis route was a lot of fun, once you get past the crux at the start of the route. 5.6? YEah, right!

East RailayThis is a pic of East Railay where all the longtail boats come in. This is about 6-7 months before the tsunami. I am not sure how it looks now. You can see the limestone cliffs in the background. I can't wait to go back!

New England in NovemberThere is nothing like climbing in New England in the Fall. It is fantastic. Although the days are much shorter.This route was long and fun, about 15 bolts.

Crux of Yukon CorneliusThis was the first time I tried this very long climb at Yellowknife Buttress. Judging by the lichen on the rock, not many people get up here. It made it hard to find the VERY small holds. Nice moves, though. I liked it a lot.

Perfect November Day!This was a very cool climb, crimpy and technical. You could tell not many people climb it however. It was full of lichen.

Belaying off a TreeHere is a good way to belay at the top of a climb if your only options are trees set back from the edge (or even if they are close to the edge). Just walk around the tree when you top out, pull up enough slack to tie an overhand on a bight with the two sides and belay off the bight with an autlocker.

Are you looking at my Cow?I was on an overnight hiking trip with Fourth-Sixth graders and on our way down from Lonesome Lake we came across a couple of meese bathing. THis time of year is dangerous to get too close. The bull will think you are moving in on his territory. All he wants to do is get laid? You gotta respect that.

Chalky handsI know you can't see my face, but I thought this was a cool photo with the chalk on the hands and the muscles bulging. All right, maybe not bulging, but protruding a little.

My game faceI am looking pretty serious in this pic. Chalking up looking at what pro is going to fit. This was a fun climb. This was supposed to be a warmup, but was the only lead I got in that day. I was happy, though toproping some harder stuff. I LOVE Otter Cliffs, man!

My first free solo....barefoot even!Here I am, high above the ground. Just a few more feet of hand crack to go. I wish i hadn't forgot my shoes. This might be perhaps the most astonishing feat to happen to rock climbing since the invention of sticky rubber.

Say Cheese!I looked up just in time to see my photographer for the day. My friend Jim came with my wife and I to Acadia and he agreed to get a lot of phots of us. Some are magazine shots, but I don't think they put 5.6's on covers.

Seaside tradHere I am starting up Overhanging corner (5.6). It was a fun climb with an awkward move for a 5.6. This climb marked the first time I have placed a large hex on lead. I don't really like them, but won't badmouth them again since that is the only thing pro that would fit at the top.
