Post your climbing pics (alpine, sport, trad, big walls, bouldering, whatever) here. According to Xover, it's ok to be climbing now, so let's see whatcha got.
Spent last weekend in Maple Canyon, clipping bolts and hanging around.
Gramps drinking beer and pointing, "then I................"
Gramps belaying Mrs. Trackhead after drinking some beverages. It's ok, they are Utah beers.
A blurry photo of the Peanut Gallery. Notice another beer in Gramps' hand.
Is that all this guy does is drink?
Trackhead belaying Gramps. Beer? Check. Comfy chair? Check. Brake hand on rope? Check.
Comfy belay chair is always important.
Fat bolts and fat routes.
And my bored dog.

Lesson number one.
NEVER hike up in plastics. Hence the pain train look of this photo.

Great stuff from Maple; that's got to be some of the coolest rock around.
We're just back from southern Utah, these pix are from Pine Creek Canyon in Zion, from Friday, 7/15 (my birthday!)...the day before the Bryce Half Marathon.
Looking back, canyoneering the day before a 13.1 mile run isn't the greatest idea, but it sure was fun...
100' free rappel at the end of the canyon; very cool
Got a PR at the Bryce Half, so it all worked out...

All my climbing pics are slides, so you'll just have to imagine them.

We debated about bringing wetsuits before heading in, and decided not to bring them. Originally Posted by Trackhead

And yes, it was cold and wet.

maybe this will be motivation enough for Owens to get "us" a Forum of our own; kinda sad and ironic that we don't have one yet, if ya ask me, seeing how in tgr's very first catalog there some climbing stoke but no bike stoke what-so-ever"... she'll never need a doctor; 'cause I check her out all day"

They will continue to suck until we get pics of the hottie climbing Betty's in their sports bras sporting six packs. Until then, they will suck. Originally Posted by Xover
