summer vacation 2007


Gorgeous 5.8 fingers right of Pixie Corner, Squamish

Neat and Cool area, Squamish. There are 4 routes 5.8 or easier here.

Quarryman Crack 5.8, Squamish Smoke Bluffs

Lunch Break at the Tieton cliffs near Yakima. We were the only climbers there for two days, about 10 routes. On our second day, we had a close encounter with 2 huge loose blocks and left for Smith.

Living the dirt bag life for 11 days, gotta love it! Chris just followed me up Karate Crack.

Clint following Harry Daley 5.8 on the Yosemite Apron

More Harry Daley. A rotten log fell off out of the blue on the second rappel and destroyed both our ropes...Clint had to run sideways on rap to dodge it.
