Here is Jason on the hands section of this fun crack before it widened up. Photo by sbclimber.

Same shot as I posted earlier but I really like it in B&W. Photo taken 3/29/05 by sbclimber.

Taken 3/31 @ about 5:30am from my tent. It doen't get much better. Photo by sbclimber.

i just submitted this shot for comparison with another pic I took. What's up with the vertical orange streak I have been getting in about half my shots? For the photo critique group, I am just a beginner, any tips? Thanks

FAs waiting as far as the eye can see in the Alabama Hills. This isn't the main area at Alabama Hills, but it is still worth exploring. Photo by sbclimber.

I shot this from my campsite @ Lone Pine Creek on Tues. 3/29 afternoon. To me it makes the mountain look like some Himalayan Peak. Photo by sbclimber.

This was the view we arrived to in Lone Pine on Tue. 3/29. Amazing day! P.S. Anybody know how I can remove the little red stick in the bottom center of the shot without cropping it out? Thanks. Photo by sbclimber.

Here is Jason cruising up to the anchors of another nice trad line in the Alabama Hills. I think this is in Paul's Paradise, but not sure. Photo by sbclimber.

I (sbclimber) took this at about 6:30 in the morning on my way to summiting Mt. Muir, Day Needle, Keller Needle, and Mt. Whitney. Visible is the entire escarpment from Mt. Muir to Mt. Whitney.

I (sbclimber) took this shot at about 6:30 in the morning. I happened to notice this beautiful alpenglow on my way to summiting Mt. Muir, Day Needle, Keeler Needle, and Mt. Whitney this day. Great sunrise to match a great day.

Here we are. The sun has gone behind the hills, time for one last send before we start the very short hike back to the campsite. And so ends another day in Paradise. Photo by sbclimber.

It's me (sbclimber) running another lap on this fun problem. This shot gives you an idea of how short this problem really is. Anyways, still good fun. Photo by Wagbone. 9/04

Terrible song but a great problem. This is me(sbclimber) on the perfect lieback of False Up 20, in the JBMF area. Easy but really fun and a little nerve racking going for the onsight without a pad. Thanks to Wagbone for the shot.

Here is me (sbclimber) again on this problem. We stayed here for quite a while because it was nice and shady. Thanks to Eric (Wagbone) for the great shots. Photo taken 9/04.

Here is me (sbclimber) about to catch the rail on this short but fun problem. It seemed as if we had the outback to ourselves this day. Photo by Wagbone.

Here is Casey Cordi on "Dynamo Hum", in Hidden Valley Campground, on the Triangle boulder. Not that tough of a problem, but a nice way to round out the day. Photo by Sbclimber.

Casey Cordi about half way up the first pitch of the great "Comic Book". It was so damn cold I almost didn't follow him up it. (windy, oh so windy). Glad I did though, as it was a very nice crack indeed. Photo by Sbclimber.

Sbclimber attempting "Act of Contrition", in Josh. V0+ yeah right. The all black gives me superstrength. Photo by Casey Cordi.

Point and click, point and click. Jtree makes it so easy to get awesome sunrise/sunset pictures. If there's clouds, it's going to be awesome...you can count on it. Photo by Sbclimber.

Sbclimber on the final move of the wonderful "Crowd Pleaser" at Stoney point. What you can't see in this picture is the fairly long fall (onto a perfect landing) if you come off right here. Such a great route! Photo by Casey Cordi.

We had to hike for about 30 minutes through the snow to reach this "secret" spot. Tons of high quality boulders as far as the eye could see. Not many people (if anybody) have climbed here, which is why it's so great. Photo by Casey Cordi.

Casey Cordi on some problem we found in the Alabama Hills on a beautiful, crisp winter morning. Temps wonderful in the sun, freezing in the shade. Photo by Sbclimber.

Here is Casey on the awesome arete of "Pope's Prow", working out the moves. This problem kept kicking both of us off, but, as I say to most of the problems we tried here, we'll be back. (In best Aaahnold Schwarzenegger voice) Photo by Sbclimber.

Sbclimber frolicking around on one of the very large boulders near the Shark's Fin. Climbing at the base of Mt. Whitney with no one in sight...amazing! Photo by Casey Cordi.

Sbclimber, working the beautiful "Saigon" in the Buttermilks. Everyone in the photo was getting ohhh so close to the big jug after that left hand crimper. (heel-hook variation). We'll be back. Photo by Chris ? from the Buttermilks.

Looking into a sea of clouds from Gibraltar Rock. My favorite days are when it is cloudy and sometimes raining even in the city, and when you head up to the mountains, you get above it all. So Beautiful, I feel like I am in heaven or something looking down on the clouds. If the clouds weren't there we would be looking directly at downtown Santa Barbara. Photo by sbclimber.

Taken on the way home from Wheeler Gorge. You can see all the way to Point Conception, about 40 miles north of Santa Barbara and about 60 miles from where the photo was taken. Photo by sbclimber.

This is me, sbclimber, on "Pink Floyd", V4. This is the third variation I have managed to get on this problem thus far, by far the hardest (of the 3 I have done). One of my favorite boulder problems anywhere, great mantle top-out. Photo by Paul Rutledge.

This is THE place to learn how to trad climb. Many 1-3 pitch routes from 5.4-5.8. Taken after my first trad lead ever. A huge storm just cleared up about 10 minutes earlier, (see profile pic) and now close to 100 degrees. Sooo beautiful. Photo by Chris Rice.

Here is Richard (DrKodos) on the third? pitch of "Dream...". It was an awesome climb, we practically had the canyon to ourselves. Photo by sbclimber.

This was my first try at some photoshop stuff. Not sure how ya'll will like it but it is pretty fun to mess around with. Photo taken by sbclimber in early October.

They are at the top of second pitch. Taken from the top of the third pitch of "Dream of Wild Turkeys". Photo by sbclimber.

Casey Cordi on his redpoint of "Clean and Jerk". This has to be one of the best routes in Real Hidden Valley. He cruised it with ease. Photo by sbclimber.

sbclimber on "Boulder Dash", sliding in a #2 cam. Top 20 feet is a beautiful, slightly overhanging dihedral. Photo by Casey Cordi.

This was a great route. This is sbclimber pulling around the roof onto the arete of this 5.9. I'm guessing 5.9 it is not in the book. It is on the east facing wall across from intersection rock.

I love this wall. It is in a great setting, as with everything in SB. A couple of fun routes on this face. This is sbclimber on Hazardous Waste, 5.10a. Photo by Chris Rice.

This is Robbie (sbclimber) on the Meilee traverse, going left to right, V3. It is a really fun problem, one of if not the coolest traverse I have ever done, in one of the most amazing settings ever, high in the Santa Ynez mountains. Photo by Catherine Heron.

This is me (sbclimber) on top of the formation after just climbing all 3 pitches of "Ending Crack" (including the final 10a short pitch in the gully above) in the rain. This was my second trad lead and quite scary in the rain. see view from base of wall

This Chris Rice on the start to "Stu Boy". If you blow the first clip you are getting wet for sure. Photo by sbclimber.

Sbclimber getting ready to rappel after climbing "Stu Boy". Cars are honking as they go by. There is a river directly underneath this bridge. Photo by Chris Rice.

I just happened to come across Kai-da-klimba (sorry for incorrect info earlier) last November, practicing his aiding. The Nose is a Santa Barbara classic, at 5.11a, but makes for a nice C1 route as well. Photo by sbclimber.

This is sbclimber on the final move on the wonderful "Le Fissure King", V3, from sit-start. It is located right next to a beautiful little stream in the Montecito Foothills. Photo by Chris Rice.

Sbclimber running another lap on "The Great Race". San Ysidro is one of the most beautiful settings I have ever seen for climbing. The Great Race, 5.10a, takes a very aeshetic line up a sustained face. Photo by Josh Lewis.
