Sunburned RockRats with Cameras

So we had a ton of fun today, and I came home with a little color added to my pasty white skin. Here's the story from my perspective. I'm sure Prezwoodz will jump in with HIS once he gets the chance to go over them.

Sorry if this is a lot of pics to be posting at once. Let me know...

Here's Mr. Prezwoodz himself, eyeing his next hold:



And again, at the belay:



And then sticking the lunge on a rather fun boulder problem:



Michelle works the boulder:





And promptly settles in to watch the rest of us have our fun:



Shasta sends her first outdoor climb ever:



And has FUN doing it:



Then of course a couple shots of her on the funnest boulder problem we found:

CC,

Very nice series Reading your post and viewing the pics almost made me feel like I was there with you guys. Although, I would have been the guy on the valley floor watching through binoculars.... Glad you guys/gals had some good weather to climb in. I have a hrd enough time walking in the rain, climbing in wet weather would be unthinkable...lol

Anyhow, thanks for sharing these with us and I'll be checking out Prezwoodz pics next.

Nice shots, makes me very envious, we have about six days of wet weather coming up. It'll be nothing but indoor climbing for me.

Your first shots my favourite, well focused and a great look of concentration eyeing the next hold.

Ah, darn, wet is no fun. We had that a few days last week. Bummer. Friday I plan on heading into the mountains to check out the better local area that may be free of snow soon, so hopefully that works out. Thanks for the comments!

Great climbing series and yes it did feel like you were there. All the more for me as I tried this once.. only once, skeered the you know what outta me.. I learned I hate heights and don't trust the belayer...

#4 & #6 are just a tad OE but the series is still great. I loved the "eye"
shot as well.

Thanks Ian. Yeah #6 was tough, I washed it out to begin with and couldn't save it completely with the computer. For #4 I have no excuse, now that you mention it I see that I could have done that one better. Thanks!

The eye was a lucky catch. I actually didn't think it was too good at first, and tried coercing him to do the move a few more times, but wasn't able to get a better one before I got annoying. I was really quite surprised at the way it came out with a little cropping. I like it too. That one goes on my website.

I think you should submit The Eye to R&I or Climbing for a gallery shot.
It's as good as anything I've seen there lately.
