One 12b. 12d compton still outta reach.

On 9/11 i sent my 3rd 12b... then tried Straight Outta Compton 12d, pictured above.  Surprisingly made it past the last bolt only to fall a move below the anchors.  I hope gods of weather allow me a few more chances at Mt. C this year before it gets too cold... 

These photos were taken by Scott visiting from SLC.  Thanks Scott!

This hold is my nemesis... so hard to clip off that bugger.

Prior to the first big move.  Sadly, now I'm in NYC getting fat in front of a computer while gorging on coffee, pizza, chicken wings, beer.  Rinse, repeat.

Can't stay away from Mary Jane.

We found ourselves on a tired Sunday morning wanting to take it easy. So MJ at Charleston it was. We all took turns on Pine in the Ass 5.10b. The above photo is me on the crimps right after the crux. Best part of the climb.

Above, Shawn making it look easy.
You know Shawn is strong (suffers from burlyitis*), but did you know he's also 50 ft tall? Above, Shawn about to eat a lilliputian climber.
After imbibing aforementioned climber, Shawn, like Alice in Wonderland, took on tiny proportions himself. Above he looks a little bewildered by his newfound stature.
