When i was a young lad climbing in patagonia. |

The Belly Roll section of Belly Roll at the Gunks. |

The Harding Slot.. I thought it was 12c |
|
The belly flop onto the block on the 1st pitch of the Great Chimney, Pitchoff, Keene NY. |
|
Possibly not the most awkward but definitely a bit unusual, next time you are driving across Colorado on I-70 stop at the Wolcott Boulders and checkout the Cave Boulder. |
|
How about the starting overhang on the third pitch of Wind Ridge on Wind Tower...pretty bizarre for 5.6! |
|
Last move on the Pear's Buttress on Lumpy was obscure, fun though! |
|
The "beached whale" finish to pitch 2 of Corrugation Corner at Lover's Leap, California. |
|
HA! the Beached Whale on both Ancient Art and Corrugation are classic. And the "body english" moves on Wind Ridge and in the Cave on the Book too! Such good examples! |
|
first pitch of apple cider at east animas. It has an outward flaring chimney that goes from #3 sized on the inside to like 3 feet wide on the outer edge. I don't understand why or how but when you climb it, it feels like it's trying to spit you out. |

|
+1 for the Harding slot. Really in awe at how some folks third class it... |
|
I actually avoided the beached whale move on corrugation corner. I basically jumped and landed on my feet! |

The possibility of creating a self ensnaring net of rope is greatly reduced if you just trust the one pin and remember that its only 5.7 haha. Good stuff! |

a pitch with no good hands or feet like Pure Palm in Smith |
