After climbing the Lovely Arete to the left of this route I managed to convince Larry to climb Hidden Treasure (mostly because I knew the pics would turn out good). Larry left some skin behind but I think he'll be quite happy with the photos.

My friend Nathan working on Strongman (5.9) at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. I think I picked the worst time of day to take pics.

Bouldering around in the cave located in Cliff Cave park in St. Louis. Obviously I'm not the first one to sneak in there, but I may be the first one to actually climb it.

A picture I snapped on our drive back after a weekend of climbing at Jackson Falls.

Didn't get the redpoint this time but it was probably like 38 degrees and I couldn't feel my hands or my feet. Photo by Catherine W.

This is my friend Keith onsighting Fine Nine. I finally got a chance to set up a rap line and do some shots from above.

This is my friend Stacey (carrotclimber) on some 5.10a-ish route at Sam's Throne on Thanksgiving weekend. Being there with friends, climbing and having a Turkey feat afterwards was one of the best times I've ever had. Photo by boondock_saint.

This was my first time climbing at Elephant Rocks and people did not understate the sharpness of the rock by any means. Best description I've heard so far: "Take a board and beat a bunch of nails through it, then grab the other side" Well after working on one climb the skin just started comin' off ...

This is just a fun climb with the best rest spot ever .. getting past the rest spot is the tricky part.

You match the numbers here to numbers prefixing routes in the routes section.

Just a fun day earlier this summer. I climbed a route to left and then traversed over so that I could snap a few pics of people climbing. Unfortunately it was a 110F day and we had to leave after that climb (before we passed out) so no one else got their glamour shots. He is NOT free climbing, he is on top rope but it was so ugly going across the screen that I edited it out.

Our ropegun Stephen (climberstephen) got us on top rope here since it's all trad and kinda run-out as well. Very nice route tho :)

This photo was taken while we were just kicking back on top of the second pitch of Bloody Nose. This was a great last ascent after a perfect day of climbing.

Sunday morning after spending the night in a humid 100 F Midwest night I woke up and looked outside my tent - when I saw the rays coming down around me I immediately reached for my camera and took the pic. Made all the heat and sweat worth it.

J.Evans on Bombs Bursting (Fortress Wall/RRG). Redpoint or onsight. Nice shot of him coming around the ledge.
