Kor Roof on a windy day. Hard to tell which way is up here! Basically into the photo, up about 45 degrees, rotated 30 degrees clockwise.

More information:
I'm looking for serious partners for big walls & mountaineering (trad, ice, summer & winter!) so drop me a line if you are too.

I've been leading up to .10c cracks, though I'd only consider myself a solid 5.9 trad leader (on cracks from fingers to OW to chimneys) & C1 aid climber, but I have been jumping on the occasional .10a-c & C2 recently without a problem.

These days I really don't know how hard I follow. The hardest I've TRed clean on a first try was Five & Dime (5.10d) and I did a 5.11b finger crack on TR with one short fall. Friction & face climbing technique are not nearly as good as my chimney to finger crack technique (max clean TR/follow is more like 5.10b-c).

Leading Right Sawdust Crack (5.8) in J-Tree. Solid, meaty jams! (I know the rope got flipped. Don't worry, I fixed it right away :-) )
