Paradise bound...bouldering on the remote West-end of Catalina Island.

Look at that grip!!<br>

Climber: Bryson James Fienup

The incomparable Marisa Fienup. Kalorama Wall, Ventura.

Must be the time of year...I'm seeing these creatures all over the place.

2-1/2 year old Bryson enjoys the stellar climbing at Bishops Peak, in San Luis Obispo. (September 2009)

One of the great privileges of my guiding career was a day spent with 84 year-old Steve and his 4 year-old great granddaughter, Hanna. Unbelievably awesome!

BELAY 4U

Living the good life in Ventura.

Bryson - 18 months old (July 2008)

Has anyone noticed the crazy abundance of Praying Mantis this year in Southern California? This one's a male.

Bryson, nearly three years old, gets a belay from his grandmother, in San Ysidro Canyon.

The boys scrambled 1,400 vertical feet up a steep ridge to nab the summit of Sentinel Peak, in the Southern Sierra. Dome Rock and the Needles are visible in the background.

Bryson's first climbing trip--San Ysidro Canyon, August 9, 2009...age 2-1/2 years.

Hands that tell a story...

Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer)

A little jaunt with the boys up Rattlesnake Canyon, in Joshua Tree National Park. (New Year's Eve 2012/13)

An important first: at just 4 weeks old, Wesley accompanies the family on a climbing outing.

Wesley gives his older brother Bryson the critical foot beta on Meilee, at Lizard's Mouth.

Mountain King Snake (Lampropeltis zonata)

Juvenile Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis). Los Angeles, Calif.

Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

This is likely the worst anchor I've ever seen. The yellow "webbing" in the photo is actually a strap from the climber's SUV roof-rack. It's hard to see in this photo, but 2 rubber-ized hooks on the two ends of the strap are hooked through the left-hand carabiner.<br>
<br>
The anchor is completely non-redundant and relies on the stitching that attaches the rubber-ized hooks to the ends of the strap. And that quick-draw?<br>
<br>
At least they padded the edge to protect the strap from abrasion.

Wesley shows how its done, on Meilee at Lizard's Mouth.

Female Praying Mantis

Wesley (10 years old) and Bryson (13 years old) pose with Sierra at Lookout Beach in Summerland.

It's like losing a member of the family. (Dome Rock, California)

The Notch Route on the Rostrum might be our favorite family outing to date in Yosemite. It allowed us to completely escape the New Years' crowd and provided a safe environment for our boys (8 and 10 years old) to experience some real Yosemite exposure.

Access Fund Adopt-a-Crag Event at Lizard's Mouth<br>
<br>
Our 9th consecutive event!! And 75 people braved the wet, foggy weather to help with the clean-up. Many thanks to everyone involved, including these 45 smiling folks who stayed until the very end.

Bryson Fienup dreams of a First Ascent.

At just 14 months old (and after eyeing the route for a few weeks), Bryson decided it was time to climb!!!
