Belaying is not a simple or easy task. It takes practice, experience and good decision making. When on lead belay, especially on single pitch were you have a clear view of your partner, it is very important that you keep your eyes on your climber and be ready to catch a fall at any moment. …
Chris working the route on sport lead. He is looking for and calculating the next set of moves before reaching the next bolt. I believe he mentioned something about “Jurassic Park” music going on in his head at that moment… Haha… Climb on!
Jim climbing on the sharp edge and pass the crux. This particular climb had everyone doing some awkward yelling noises, but he was able to cruise thru without a sound.
Christina show us your liebacking skills. It is said that “the best climber, is the one having the most fun”, so we believe she earned the award for this day.
Pamela working the high step. She is a natural when it comes to walking on walls.
Arturo lead climbing the 10s. When it comes to lead, he will take anything you put in front of him – no questions asked. Climb on!
Eli working his way up the rock wall. It was an a hot day out for him in the desert and a perfect day to stay in the shade. Climb on!
We just couldn’t let this one slide. Here is a climber with super long toes who enjoys getting a kick out of other’s reaction to his funny “meditation” method (oh, he enjoys climbing barefoot too – ouch!).
Karen can follow any lead. Quick, determined, and once on the crux she can take on any challenge. Climb on!
Cristian placing pro. It was a great day for him to be in Southern California from New York. Climb on!
