 Jheryl on Oh Baby! 5.10d one of the classics of the crag. The wall overhangs enough on this area that you can be at the base when it is raining but stay dry! Credit: mountainlion |

 This is Jano a 13 year old who leads 5.11b who also wanted to try to clip the first bolt for me. Jenowith and Jano now have shoes, harnesses, and belay devices thanks to you guys! Look at that 13 year old rip Credit: mountainlion |

 Second attempt of Paris Hilton 5.11b, it looked like an easy tufa climb from the base, but turned out to be an insecure, pumpy route complete with a 20 inch long 10 inch wide 5 inch thick hornet's nest--empty thank god at a small cave above the 2nd clip. Credit: mountainlion |

 Kuya Mackie a little higher up, the route is a very long endurance route on pockets Credit: mountainlion |

 Here is a sequence of pics from my onsight attempt of Black Foot 5.12a, I planned to train but didnt get around to it. I waited for the first box to arrive to go for it thinking the vibe would help. First Clip... Credit: mountainlion |

 Raymund goes up to get retrieve the gear, strangely the roof isn't the crux but you do need to save some gas for it. Credit: mountainlion |

 Raymund does pull the move and the anchors are not far above. Most of these routes do have extensions that continue at the same grade or harder. Credit: mountainlion |
