Super Larry leading the first climb of the day. The wind was howling so much it almost blew him off... Ah, J-Tree in February...

The hardest 5.6 in the world!

Dalon leading the SW corner; although certianly not mandatory; a red cam fits into the small crack perfectly to protect the bulge move!

Scooter having a great time on the SW Corner. I looked at this photo again and thought, if you are higher than the sun, how could life be better?

Climbing and leading the once installed bolt ladder on Headstone Rock in the mid 70's. This bolt ladder was installed by the Riverside Search and Rescue Team. The route was chopped in the late 80's and once was a great practice climb for direct aid climbing.
