More Desert Fun

So I've decided since I'm not going to send anything hard this trip, at least I'm going to get pictures of other people doing so. I spent the last few days with a bunch of strong climbers, and got a few shots that I kinda like. Check em out -

This is John on the Serrator - it's fun 5.11 offwidth to about 40' of easy but kinda scary climbing up the "serrator" feature. It's a little hard to protect, and even if your pro held, that serrated rock edge might just snip your rope...





Here's John on Slice and Dice - 5.12 green camalot finger stacks. This is a super rad route, but I was having trouble getting a good angle to shoot it. There's a little bit of lens distortion in this shot, but it really is steep right there.




Here's Paul cruising Layaway Plan - 5.11 red camalots through a big roof. I was bracketing, and this shot came out overexposed, but it snapped at just the right moment, so I did what I could to fix it. The result is kinda interesting, but I wish the exposure had been correct the first time.









Another climber named Mike in roughly the same spot. Different day though.

Then sending in style on the second go.
