Thinking I was on New Era, I later realized I was on something harder. Not sure what route this is.

On my way to McGregor Slabs

This is Whitey, the silent but vigilant partner. He was conceived on July 15, 2006. I'm his mommy. He was well equipped for the route. 

You never know where you're going to find a good climbing partner. I'll search high and LOW. :-)

Heading up the Angelica Couloir. It's rated as steep snow. When viewing the couloir from the North Ridge it loks very steep but when cramponing your way up it in good snow, it feels pretty mellow (maybe 45 degrees or so). Photo by Michael Rodenak

The Red Gulley is stated as 3rd class. The gulley is mostly class 2, broken choss. We could see this from the base and were imediately drawn to the knobby slabs just right of the gulley. The hiking/climbing ranged from Class 2 to low 5th, with a high concentration on 4th class. A much safer/more fun alternative IMO. Photo by Michael Rodenak.

Ascending Ellingwood Ridge on LaPlata Peak. You can avoid the ridge that I'm climbing here by going either right or left. Fun route but lots of choss. Photo by Michael Rodenak.

Me and my partner Michael starting the ridge on North Star Mountain (13k), 4/06. Northstar is located off of Hoosier Pass. From the summit, you can see Wheeler, Fletcher, Atlantic, Pacific, Quandary and many more peaks. Cool Peak.

The real me. . . The South Park me. . . With my candy and sports bra.

Time for a new head shot. Me on top of P1 of Refritos?

I believe I'm on Refritos. P1 was almost a full 60 m to the bolts with poor pro. Photo by Pan.

My son Austin lead this route with me soloing up beside him. Now, every time I'm near it, I always solo it. :-)

Heading towards Tyndal Glacier during the 1st snow of the year in 05.

Here I am on the 5.8 slab on P4. Photo by Randy Wong

A butt shot of me on Young and the Rackless. I added this to add clarity to what P1 looks like for those of you trying to locate the climb.

Timstich took this shot of me on the approach to Notchtop. We climbed the Spiral Route to Morning on a very wet day, 8/21/05. The route ascends the leftmost skyline to the ledge. From there we traversed right up to another grassy ledge, unropped and climbed to the base of Morning which is just a wee bit below and right of the Notch. Fun times once again. I'm gonna miss ya Timmy Tim! :-(

Dear Bill, I am sorry for reading, stopping, taking pictures, drinking and eating on your land. It could be much, much worse though. At least I'm not fishing, kayaking, hunting and having sex out there too. Thanks for the photo op. A Randy Wong photo.

Here's a photo of Lover's Leap as seen from hwy 285. There is climbing all over Lover's Leap. There is enough climbing on Lover's Leap to in fact satisfy the 40 character quota. Photo by Lord Randy.

The wind just added to the fun of this Classic Garden of the Gods climb. Me on Montezuma's Tower. Photo by Craig.

Photo by Cindy Mitchel. My sons and I on our 4th of July Camping trip in a secret spot not too far from Grand Lake.

On the approach to Superstar and Starlight. We were headed to climb Superstar but opted for Starlight as the upper section of Superstar appeared to be melted out. Observation of Superstat from the top of Starlight prooved otherwise. Another fun climb with Tim!

My new friend above 14'k, Mr. Marmot.

No animals were harmed in the shooting of this photo. I'm not sure who was more curious, myself or the marmot. Photo by Randy Wong, Mt. Shavano summit.

My love life has oficially gone to the dogs. :-)

Here I am soloing up some easy route at Nip and Tuck. The look on nextascent's face when I popped up over the top was priceless. I love those moments where you're feeling it and you just do it! Photo by nextascent.

Randy is my gym and sport climbin friend. He's one of the few people that you meet in life that you would hang the moon for if you could. A great friend indeed. Here we are on a ledge on Wind Tower one day after work.

I'm tired, therefore I sleep. So you want 40 characters. . . Trip over own feet Fall in snow Discover snow feels more comfy than own bed Close eyes Sleep Snore Drool

Me doing what I do best, going no where fast with no purpose at all. Photo by Randy Wong.

This is a pic of my fiance and I making love on a beach in the Cook Islands. . . Okay, okay, that's a lie. There is no fiance. There is no beach. There is no love making. BUT there is a very big diamond about 1 mile away from this very spot. :-) Me above Peacock Pools. Photo by Randy Wong.

Here is Torrey and I hanging out in a junk yard in Moab on Thanksgiving day. Myself, jay_bird, charlieclimber and clymber were headed to Vegas when *POW*, clymber hit a deer. We pulled into a gas station at about 5:00 am when the radiator decided to spill ALL of it's contents. We walked to Dennys, feeling a little down on our luck, where we met the Angel of Moab. Our waitress hooked us up with a friend of hers who owns a junk yard. He worked most of Thanksgiving day on the truck. He gave us a ride and a tow too. Our waitress even offered us dinner and to give us her radiator right out of her truck if we needed it. These people were the epitome of kind. From the junk yard, we made it to Indian Creek for some fun climbing, great camping and great company with some great new friends. It's funny, we really didn't get that much climbing in but really, I had a fantastic time. I have a lot to be thankful for but during Thanksgiving 04, I was thankful for the kindness of strangers. It helped renew the notion that not all people are bad. Photo by Charlie Fowler.

I love morning light in the mountains and the last warm rays of sun in the desert. Here I am on Quaterback at Shelf Rd soaking up some of those rays. Photo by Randy Wong.

Here I am climbing Chunky Monkey. To the photo bomber who votes my photos with 1, here is another 1 for you. Photo by Randy Wong.

Heading up to the 1st or 2d belay on the Great Dihedral.

Here's Michael and I after climbing The Great Dihedral on Hallets. Good peak, good friends, good day.

Hallets Peak. My friend Michael and I climbed the Great Dihedral, which is located left of Hallet's Chimney.

This tyro is in a secret spot so I can't give you a 40 character description. If I did, someone would have my head on a platter. Happy humting!!!! Like my socks??? Photo by Randy Wong.

Leading up some route with the word meat in it??? Rated 10c I believe? Photo by sandbag.

Here I am working my way up some 10c at Shelf. I forgot the name of the route. Meat Cleaver or something like that??? Thanks sandbag for the photo and thanks cologman for the beta and route suggestion.

Me leading the chimney pitch on Lone Eagle Peak. Photo by timstich. Great route, great partner, great weather, long day. :-) My head wasn't so great though. I was a dummy and forgot my helmet. This was one of the loosest routes I've been on yet or at least the descent was.
