Double Cross, Joshua Tree.

The summit block. As usual, I was so proud of Britts. Most climbers forego this last bit. Its kinda like leaving at the bottom of the 9th when the score is tied. Or maybe its like opening a package an

A storm was moving in, so we had to jet, and no, the hardware you see is only for the photo. She is basically tied in into two anchors.

Almost everyone has seen Half Dome, either by photo or in person. Britts was surprised to see it peeking through at the top of the chimney cave.

Feb 11, 2011

The beginning of the cave pitch. Way easy and huge Indiana Jones factor.

She made it on her own power and in good spirits.

Britts kept slipping and asked how to climb passed the hard section, she never wanted to quit!

Feb 11, 2011

The unknown can either be met with fear, or a sence of adventure. Brittany is definitely my niece!

Feb 11, 2011

It was cold and very damp, but Britts wanted to go to the top never the less.

Feb 11, 2011

At the base of "Aunt Fanny's Pantry" 5.4 with three pitches.

Church bowl cliffs.

I wanted to show all the unique and historic formations. Britts had other ideas.

Yosemite rangers won't let me ride this in the park any longer. Not even to work. I should of bought a blue one.

Tendons Give, V6. Yosemite Valley. Great warm up, once the moves are dialed in.

Once at the top, reverse the moves under control.

Feb 10, 2011

Jerk! Don't make me laugh! I'll puke!

Feb 10, 2011

The goal is not to reach the top, but to make the moves under complete control following correct technique. Otherwise, its just circus monkey tricks.

John Bachar, one of my mentors, developed this exercise to build mega power endurance. Press down with one arm while pulling with the other. As you hold position with one arm, reach for the next rung.
