Sweet!Lookin' good! I have that same problem with bending my knees too much -- I was amazed when I saw the pictures. My knees were too bent in every single picture! :^P Anyway, you look like a pro.

Re: Sweet!Thanks for the kind words Carolyn. I look like a gumby in this pic - knees bent, heels up, complete with huge frickin' pack for a climb of less than two pitches ... there must be some mistake dammit :)

wowHow long does it take you to climb something like that?

Re: wowThat particular wall is about a pitch and a half. With that partner we probably knock it out in 60-90 minutes (he leads and I follow ... slowly).

Re: Terrific!Thanks Paolo. Looking at this pic, it's hard for me to believe I just led my first WI4 pitch a week ago. Well, I'm convinced it was only WI3+ :)

Re: Terrific!I have only made it there once in my travels to Calif. I could not find anybody to climb with so I soloed it it was on my way back to Colo. from a job I did in Fresno. By the way how did you bang your ankle up.

Re: FabulousJust as good. Don't think my vertigo would let me even stand at the bottom of that cliff and look up at it, let alone anything else!

Re: FabulousIt's something you get used to over time. People who have a 'fear of heights' often can learn how to channel that fear when climbing.. it's natural to be scared at first.
Sometimes when I take time off climbing, and then come back to it, I get a little scared. Probably if I climbed a lot more I would be a much bolder and stronger climber.
Never say never :)

Oh man, that Ice looksFAT!
Great picture dude, props on your leads! Ice isn't easy at all. I personally grip my damn tools too hard!

Re: Oh man, that Ice looksThanks dude.
I like to wear thin gloves while climbing and shake out periodically -- thicker gloves tend to make me overgrip. When not climbing I put my climbing gloves inside my belay jacket to keep them warm and belay in mittens.
