The best part is the swim in the Skykomish across the street after a day of climbing, right next to your free camp-site...
Exquisite!

For me it's the Redgarden Wall in Eldorado; sorry no pictures until I get some 35mm slides digitized.

For me this is the "Mother" of all crags.

Cintune, I framed that pic from Fragile and put it on my wall at age 18. It pretty much said it for me (I wore out 3 copies of that album).
Where is that 2nd pic?

The Red River Gorge - back when it was still "The Gorge" and not "The Red"..... (no one that climbed there then had ever heard of the "New" or the Owens River or any of those other dad-blamed gorges).

Rednecks, graffiti, humid as sh#t, in a dry county, car break-ins...but I'll always have a fondness for:
Image shamelessly pirated from the t00bz.
And my home...or second home...or something:

It's Chickies Rock on the Susquehanna River, Pa. Nice little quartzite crag, home of many a bold and noobish adventure.

My first answer was Yosemite, but seeing that pic of Headstone brought back fond memories and made me realize that Yosemite was my adoptive mother.
I entered the climbing world through Joshua Tree, so many wonderful pent-up memories, mostly before I knew any official "climbers." Man oh man, so many wonderful full-moon escapades, spur-of-the-moment runs from San Diego on a Friday night at 10pm, or driving in a Noah's Arc style deluge for 4 hours only to have the rains stop minutes before arrival and then a crazy blue pristine day with the world to ourselves. Such an amazing place. So innocent for me as a climbing destination, just reveling in the sheer wonder of it all with no climbing knowledge and no jade to limit my sense of awe.

Cathedral. I fell in love with climbing in NH. It was months before I knew there was very nice climbing close to home. I got married under Cathedral Roof. I celebrated my 40th birthday repeating RecomBeast with my long lost cousin, finding my husband on top with cold beverages.

I learned to climb with my dad at Lovers Leap. Him and my mom spent most weekends there through the later 70's, taught me and my brothers to climb there. A very special place for me, I love climbing there, always will.
