The guard Coati patrols the Super mega Secret area for anyone climbing without authorization.

Vince "do not multi-task me" on his way down after he serfs up the wall.

Don't forget your shoes unless you have this creative climber around.

Chessman Overview

Maite, looking up Bobby Fissure, a great mixed route.

Somewhere in the Super Mega Secret Area!

Steeper than you think. The Catalonian gettin' back to the belay on Serfs Up

Aleix Serrat-Capdevila on the King's Crystal 5.12.

Aerial view of the Chessman area

Peter Noebels on Serfs Up 5.12- at the super secret, not so new "show and tell" only area. We would post it up but we don't want Isolation Canyon Manny ruining our cool new sport area by putting up trad routes. Jimbo made me type this Manny. We had a good laugh when we thought it up, hope you do too!

An hour later, towering in the mist, same tourist but different shirt.<br>

Use those belayer bolts people!

EFR on "the project" 5.13 somewhere at the super secret area

Secret sport bolters only area. Peter Noebels on a new 11- that we saved from becoming a trad route.

Using Tiger Style to climb the 12- seam in the Chessapeak area.

Jesse getting close to the redpoint of Kings Arete.

The crimpin' Catalonian on the uber classic Serfs Up 5.12-

Jesse Schultz working Kings Arete 13-

Maite Guarda redpointing Two Kings and a Pawn 5.11

Maite cruises Gamesmanship 5.10-, off the King's Rampart. <br>
The rope hanging out across the wall to the right is on Serfs Up.

Fun at the Rampart. Climber crossing the Draw Bridge to reach the comfy belay ledge at the start of King's Crystal 5.12 and Serfs Up 5.12-

Jim and Erica Nappin' on the ledge of the Rampart.

Peter Noebels on new route at the ..... area. It is part of the show and tell only area we sport bolters are trying to keep trad climbers from ruining.

Joe Lee on the classic 11-, Two Kings and A Pawn.

"Don't worry, I have you on (hip) belay"

EFR's effort to show off his climbing skills would have been wasted if not for the admiring look from this passerby
