Awesome pictures. In the first picture Climberdude (me) and my partner Randy are at the top of "Afternoon Nap" after doing "Good Sleep" (5.6, R+) waiting for Joanna and her partner to finish "Afternoon Nap" so we can rappel down. I do note know if Joanna or her partner is shown in the picture leading, but the belayer is not in the picture.

So funny! I was looking at these at first with no glasses and didn't realize it. Then I went to do something, came back, and there were my glasses sitting next to the keyboard. Totally different. I thought you'd really messed up your focus, Justin.

TFPU these, they're "spect-occular."

I was in kid mode and not thinking seriously of actual climbing... I watched Andrew on Don't Take it for Granite and thought that roof to flaring runnel was pretty heinous looking. I would have liked to get a top rope on that one if I had my wits about me!

Great pics Justin.

Yay! So much fun! I had no idea we were being photographed, and how cool to have a photo that isn't a total butt shot!

Thanks, Justin! (btw, Phyl says YES to the plan for next year (May?) when you are ready)

Daphne, May for sure. Hopefully you guys can remind me how they get the rope up there.

Brandt, just a reason to come back. Here's a shot for you from bushmaster last fall.
Eric Walden on Bushmaster.

Roger Breedlove, You guys found and did plenty of awesome climbs. Big thanks for the early pioneering of the Hinterlands. Did you guys use these Cassin pitons?

Haha mouse, we missed you this year.

Bushdoctor, the majority of these shots were taken with the Cannon SX260. Has a great zoom for a point and shoot. From Mike A down were taken with the Sony a6000 E 3.5-5.6/PZ 16-50 OSS lens.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Such a fun weekend, can'the wait till next year.

Jack Delk (the pioneer of shutteye ridge) and I placed many pins including cassins, dolts, bongs, etc. in the day in the early 70's. Glad you found them. Don't know about Rodger Breedlove other than the Yosemite
