Apparently, as per the other 2 photos, if you are from Colorado you'll screw up access for us locals. Don't be the idiots from Colorado!

Another intrusion thingy, also toward the top of Knuckle Sandwich.

A great view to wake up to - Camping in<br>
the remote valley at Homestead

The now Iconic H at the third gate.

Looking into the canyon from the East ridge. Marley Wall and Tufa City in the full sun, Finland Terrace in the part sun/part shaded wall, just left of that is the exit gully and the far right end of Slate Nation, the small cliff ban above SN is the far right end of Mouse Wall, and North Butt is the closer shaded wall on the left.

A unique and widely known stone along the upper ridge approach trail, before it disappeared roughly ten years ago.

Finland Terrace and Tufa City

Some kind of intrusion (?) on Knuckle Sandwich. Pretty common for the area, and very cool. They also come in an orange brick form. Geology geeks can fill me in.

Sunset from the original campground.

The sunsets here are amazing.

Normal Like You (12a). I don't like to take extreme close-ups of chalky, slapping hands... I am partial to the rope-in-mouth shot, though. Photo by Hillary Davis.

The morning scenery

Traversing from the top of Karma to the top of Bone.

Apparently when you are from Colorado you haven't learned how to park at a trailhead to allow parking in a limited space.

Beautiful pristine desert setting

Rough road still! 12/22/12

Looking back just after emerging from the descent to Finland Wall. January 2008

BEEware! Large colony of bees behind tree on Welcome Wall.

The first gate off the main road.

Did a lot of trail work this year at the Homestead. This is just one set of steps that is part of 69 new steps we did up to Tufa City. I'm very proud to be part of a (very small) group of Climbers that's not afraid of spending a little time and money at The Homestead.

Apparently, if you are from Colorado you can't read.
