oh and before I left the library, and after I had signed out, read the recent gripped with that awesome shot of the U-wall. Now that is what I call an action shot!!

Awesome shot Rich and Will! Fantastic position and angle. I was thinking… hhmm. Thialand?.

Vancouver Island! wow must be a large crag….. think I know were….Still can’t believe it’s not an official climbing spot.

Anyway this shot and Andrew B’s from quite a few years back really make me want to try that route.

I have to agree, great shot. When it came out I showed it around the store and no one guessed a crag in North America. What’s w/ the beta though? Cool stem but baaaaaaaaaad idea for the nuts/head.

Cool, glad you guys liked it.  Rich dropped the rope in as an afterthought and snapped a couple winners.  That guy is a magician behind the lens.

I was just fooling around after the crux and got in a weird reverse stem position.  Don’t try to emulate it… not a good idea.

Andrew really has an eye for a line. And he’s still at it, putting up the coolest stuff around.  Totally my hero.

I agree it would be a bad way to fall.  its interesting that many people with pull the hard 12’s in the amp and are still afraid of a mid .11 with more than a few feet between bolts.  Last year I put a couple low 11’s on boss wall for the regular folks.
