A long way from where I started

I've always been partial to this one. Third pitch of Borderline on the Chief, a route I put up with two partners about ten years ago, and never really got any good pictures of myself. (So see note below the photo re copyright, cuz I borrowed this one.)
Okay, here's the photo note. I found this shot on Cascadeclimbers.com, taken by "dberdinka". A little digging leads me to believe dberdinka is Supertopo poster Slabby D, who, I hope, won't mind me putting the pic up here. I'll take it down if he asks me to.

Has anyone mentioned "Ankles Away" at the Needles?
It is a superb 2 pitch gem, first pitch is 5.11a stemming, second pitch is 5.11c/d thin crack. Not to be missed on your trip to the Needles. Super rock on this one folks!
Looking down as Tony Sartin follows tthe first pitch.
Tony leads on the 2nd pitch. Lots of thin gear needed for this long pitch.
The Needles are a crack climbers paradise!

Quest for Glory or Power? .10d Eagle Lake Cliffs
(Left of Space Truckin')
Space Walk .11+ also Eagle Lake Cliffs
The whole area is phenomenal, superfine granite.
Dano SOLOED Space Walk onsight in the early 1980's, he may have only been 18...
Go try it. It's Quality!!! The onsight that is, not the solo, unless you're into that sort of thing. (I know, I know, sure badasses abound, everyone BASE jumps, and .11+ is flip-flop stuff for the new generation.)
