Ok... so maybe they aren't all bad.


Any favorites?

henny maybe (I'm having a senior moment) -- impending deck out/ run out, the belay unties, and runs away for the fear of it all.

Any belay when Yerian is on the sharp end and it's "just me" on the other end. LOL and :)....but true.

Just another lovely day in the Trapps.

My friend wanted to take my picture,so she scampered off to the side. 3rd class to return to the line, so don't think I am a horrible leader who leaves people traversing with no protection!

This was pretty rough as belay locations go...

Had a UN team of 'blue helmets' on scene to oversee safety

And this one was reallly rough

I'm impressed!

Most of those belays are downright horrendous. They give new meaning to the adage: "It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it."

I'm afraid I just don't have the obviously needed titanium testes.

Hats off to you folks: tough as nails.
