The last pic in westchrist's post is cracking me up. The spotters' body language is saying "...dude, I could give a f*#k about this problem."
Or maybe, "it's cold, yr in the shade, yr. one move in, and yr already in yr frickin' chalkbag."

wes, i was just being sarcastic.
i've seen the rands video, but never walked over to look at the thing.
milks are so frickin zoo'ed out now, i never go back. might as well stay here and climb in the gym, it's all the same people. it's like the entire contents of pg, mission cliffs, and ironworks empty out there every weekend.

spotting, if done correctly, is very dangerous.
1. teeth get kicked in
2. fingers hyperextended
3. body blow, body blow, (like my Tyson punch out)
4. the ever present danger of a dab (spotters must be quick to get out of the way too!)
5. landing on feet (that are already in climbing shoes)
is it any wonder spotters just play at spotting? :)

Aw man I'm guilty! But THIS Just IN... that pic turned out pretty good huh!
So what do you want... a spot of a killer pic of you!? (oops take out the killer word) Nate - you calling me WORTHLESS!?
These are funny...
I've always wondered... what do hands up even do (!!??) when 180 lbs or so is crashing down on them? Seems like there has to be a better stance?
It's like everyone assumes the position simply because they see others assuming that position, haha. Wouldn't a cradle pose be better? If someone is throwing a heavy sack of chicken feed to me I don't put my hands up, I cradle it...
What gives?
But I like the guy playing shadow puppet with his hand while the girl is topping out. And those two dudes spotting that hot blonde... You wanna know how I know they are gay? Crimpergirl - thank YOU
ps- nice shot of Chris (summitorplummet) living up to his name. You rule dude!

Tom,
Hey it's a great photo, and you did say photography is always a high priority when you climb. What are friend's broken ankles when you've got a great photo, right? Or even better - a great photo of the moment the ankles break! :)
Nice of you to leave the pad there, though - even to the side. But I've heard real men don't use pads...
