I have a couple photos I'd love to post, but for some reason I can't figure out how to get them into the text box. I know, I'm just incompetent, but will someone please help me out?
Thanks,
Stanley

This is my first attempt at an image post.
This is a picture I took with my friend David's camera while he and my brother Peyton were doing the first pitch of the Pacific Ocean Wall on El Cap during summer 2005. They are in the lower 1/3 of the photo directly in the midline. You can see another party high up on the PO, also directly in the midline of the photo; they appear as a little black dot. They were going in and out of the clouds all day long.
This is my good buddy David leading pitch 9 on the Prow. Summer 2005.
This is me at one of the early anchors on the Prow. We had spent a long night in the rain in our ledge, and I was trying to dry my shoes and socks while David was on lead. Summer 2005. Photo by David Moses.

Thanks for the assistance everybody. I'm now set up with a photbucket account. The images above are a bit grainy/blurry because my scanner is not top of the line by any means. But they bring back such great memories I couldn't resist posting. I have other black and whites, which I'll post in due time.
Stoked to be able to share!

A couple more great black and white memories.
This is one of the early belays on the Prow. My partner, David, and I had been drenched the night before in a freak storm and I was trying to dry out my shoes. Taken in Summer of 2005.
This picture was taken by my good friend Jeff. My brother, Jeff, and I did the Shield this past summer (2007). This is a shot of me contemplating the crux move on the Shield Roof, which is the entrance to the headwall. I remember this move like I just did it two minutes ago. It required hooking in a very shallow, very slopy sawed angle hole (we didn't have any sawed angles to place in it). From this I had to extend laterally as long as I possibly could, and then a bit further, to reach an offset nut placement. All the while the wind was HOWLING and making the hook very unhappy. I got the offset placed (a #7 I think, the purple one) and just as I was about to clip it, the hook shifted majorly! She was on her way out in seconds. I clipped and got a good hand grip on the nut. That took just enough weight off to make the hook hold, and I managed to get on the nut. From there it was relatively cruiser to the anchor.
Notice the incredible amount of smoke in the valley. Many of you will remember the length controlled burn the park service did last summer, the last week of June. We really thought we were gonna get smoked off the wall, but luckily the winds were in our favor and we were spared.
