Is that Table of Colors? just a wild guess.
SEE?!! I told you bigfoot was a blurry monster!
That can't be Paul or did the hat finally rot off?

great pics - i like how you post them and then it becomes a game of "guess the route"

paul is still in the evolving stages of humanity..using his paws.

I heard he's had a lot practice putting that middle finger in pockets.

Those are the best pics of Paul I've seen yet ... if only only we could see the animal fur!!

Paul has become my new climbing hero I can only assume he will soon ascend to Don McGlone status- a star is born

Thanks for the kindness - it was a very nice day for sure.

neuroshock, Many of the photos (not the ones of Paul in the crux, though) are with my new 15mm 2.8 fisheye. Though the effect is mostly lost on my 20d, it is still a good wide angle. I have to be careful, as keeping me and my rigging gear out of the frame is way harder with it! Hoping to get a new body this winter, so will be interesting to see what it looks like on FF or 1.3 crop.

Wes...I've got an 8mm superfish from russia, and I can almost see my knuckles threw the lense, if you figure out how to keep shit out of the way.....LET ME KNOW.
