This picture is me leading the last pitch of Cottage Cheese(5.10a) on West Cottage Dome in Tuolumne Meadows. The route can be done in 2 or 3 pitches. The crux is a small roof crack that is just below my feet in the picture.

This picture is of helo_driver walking the slacklines that we (San Francisco Slackline Coalition) set up every Sunday in Golden Gate Park.

This picture is of my friends eric and steena walking tandem slacklines. This was only the second time that steena had ever tried slacklining. I was impressed!

This picture is of my friends monte and marieke walking reverse tandem on slacklines we set up near the ropes course(Ft. Miley Ropes Course) where I work.

This is my friend mark getting into the crouch on the slackline. Mark and I are the co-founders of the San Francisco Slackline Coalition.

This picture is of the view north from Fairview Dome in Tuolumne Meadows. In the distant background you can see the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River.

This picture is of Mt. Watkins and the view north from Big Sandy Ledges. There is a small thunderstorm building. This was my first time on the regular route and I found Big Sandy to be neither big nor sandy.

You don't need a surfboard to go surfing. All you need is some webbing and little practice. Picture is of Mark W.

My friend Mike and I hanging out and enjoying the view from the summit of Cathedral Peak(5.6). One of the fifty classics and for good reason! The summit block is so small you can hardly fit more than three people up there.

This is my buddy Lucho punching it through the zig-zags while the sun was going down. I couldn't think of a better place to watch the sunset from, than the face of Half Dome on a beautiful summer afternoon.

This is me leading one of the many moderate chimney piches on the Regular Route of Half Dome(5.9A1 or 5.11). A truly inspirational monolith!

Lucky Streaks(5.10d)! In my own personal opinion, this is one of the best climbs in Tuolumne. It's also very challenging for the grade. The only downside to it is now that there is a 'supertopo' available for the route there is even more crowds than there was already.

This photo was taken Fairview Dome-Tuolumne Meadow's El Cap-and shows the east face of Cathedral Peak-a truly awesome piece of rock.

This a the local bouldering area. It is home to many good problems and one particularly well-known one: Unnatural Act(V6+) an 8 ft. roof problem. But, watch out for the poisonoak! This photo is of my buddy Lucho on some unnamed/unrated problem.

This picture is of my friend rachel belaying from the ledge on Cottage cheese. This route is on West Cottage Dome (in Tuolumne Meadows) and it is rated 5.10a(PG)* Also, it has one of the best belay ledges in the meadows.

This photo shows me rebolting an awesome sport climb in Tuolumne Meadows. This is on Hammer Dome and the route is rated 5.10c (PG/R)***

This is a picture of some slackline coalition members hanging out on our weekly sunday slackin' in golden gate park. All locals are welcome to come out and join us for some slackin'. We are usually set up near the corner of Oak and Masonic streets(in San Francisco) every sunday afternoon.

Here is a photo of a tree-boulder problem in golden gate rated V2+. The crux is an almost immpossible sloper that you must dyno off.

This picture is of me soloing the local crag. It is rated 5.9 and the rock is polished marble. You ain't going to be smearing on that stuff. The crux is a hand traverse where the crack arches.

This was my first grade VI and we did it in 12 hours! Photo taken by Luis Rivera

This picture was taken of a 75 ft slacklines set up at Crissy Field in San Francisco
