Climbing photo thread, volume 1
Here are some shots of my back yard
Limekiln Canyon - the roof system you see there is part of a 12C called Horror Show..read details below.
Johnny G on the 5th pitch of Horror Show - 12C WOO! the 12C pitch is the last one so you pull the roof at about 300 ft or so off the deck! WEEEE! Watching him work it was awesome! Sorry for the size. and the quality, we lost the light - but I had to take some shots anyway.
This is looking back on Mesquite from the 4th pitch of Simple Truths 5.10C - 5 pitches. (these are bolted sport climbs and awesome fun)
This is Johnny on the ledge just before the start of the 5th pitch of the 10C - we climbed this one first to post up to take pictures of the roof on the 12C nextdoor...however, we ran out of daylight, got a late start so OH DARN we have to go back up and do it again hehe These multipitch routes are awesome out here...there is a 5 pitch 5.8 just to the right of the 10C too, tons of fun.
I did my first ever leading at that kind of height on the 10c and woo it was scarey as shit but so much fun too! Come out and play with us!!![/img]

Adam was nice enough to 'telegraph' that he was coming off. I was lucky enough to be standing near the first bolt, with my back to the wall shooting 'outwards' (if that makes any sense) so I ended up getting his facial expression pretty well!
