our friend Melissa stylin' the initial moves on Black Corner.

bouldery start, fingers then wide fingers pinches down to desperate locks just before the anchors.

one of the most elegant splitters... ever. the extension to the upper anchors (.13b) stands as one of the proudest lines at the creek

steep wide fingers goes to great hands on this classic splitter

super liebacking, jamming lead to a tricky traverse out a small roof.

an excellent TR problem off the Flakes anchors. had a pin once to protect the crux... it got jerked out.

the Amazon boulder is a fine boulder located in the South American group. this side features pleasant edges and sidepulls (5.10). the uphill face is a .11 TR and the East face has been TR'd @ .13b ( !!! ).

steep hands, tight hands, fingers and edges. the crackwhore doesent need any tape. saving the planet one roll of tape at a time.

steep, slanting, thin hands around a bulge. the feet are way under there.

2 body lengths out a roof that switches aspects, then a steep O.W. section... burly

the beauty of this location cannot be overstated... i believe C.J. captured the ambiance perfectly

friends are a friends best friend... happiness is a big rack, friends.

this photo by Paul Johnson captures all the Elements of crack climbing... Hands, Feet, and Friends.

this is one of the finest corners at the Battle of the Corners errr Battle of the Bulge. i'm at the airy right slanting finish.

Hot Toddy is one of Longs canyons' finest. something like Supercrack in a corner. 3 camalots 4ever.

definitely an E-Rock classic, for that matter, a classic anywhere. overhanging OW layback with great rests and great gear.

airy stemming is the finish i prefer. gives me the chance to look down at that last 5 camalot with great admiration.

says desert great Scott Carson "9 Lives is my favorite route at indian creek."this climb has it all;endurance hand slamming, airy traverse and a super exposed wide hands splitter to finish.
