Those are funny! Especially the one where your spotter is ....gone....
Not like he could do much of a catch with you waaay the hell up there anyway.
He did the self preservation variation.

Nita - that is a funny one. Trying to find it to post it. Dogfather won a contest with it (he took the photo).

Here it is Nita. It does crack me up. At a later time, I went up it without spotters feeling a bit confident. Blew off at the top somersaulting across the granite to the horror of some random woman walking by. Can't believe all my bones were still encased in my skin. :)

That is the best yet, Thanks Nita and Crimper and those heavy armed spotters.

hey there say, all.... wow, a scary job, actually, to be a spotter....
and i admire each of you, no matter how the picture "caught folks", and
i admire the trust that you all have, too...
but, as to the humor, later, i purely do understand:
in your pic, jeremy, it looked like the guy, far back, was perhaps sending out "good vibes" through the airwaves.... :)
and for crimper's photo, it reminded me of very pre-occupied guys, thinking on deep conversation, kind of like this, maybe:
"yeah, i really caught a good one... think it was about this big,
or so..."
"oh, really, well, i caught one... but mine was only yea-big... you know, a minnow... kind of..."
thanks for the photo-evidence, and may you all be safe, and
do your jobs well...
you are all to be admired, in the long run, and scheme of things...
climbing is a great "molder of the inner spirit" for sure...
and "a great builder of friendships"
*i only added the bit of humor, as to regular-fun that you all were having here... did not mean anything bad to the folks in the picutres, at all...
some examples, just reminded me of "another place, another time" ...
:)

@ Crimpy:
It's like they don't want to be caught looking at your butt. But heck, what else are spotters for?
Love the pic of the PadHat...
