Gallery | Climbing | Sneaking away to the Palace: November 18, 2007

Took a few hours off on a warm Sunday to enjoy the granite at the Palace. Mark enjoyed it the most. His bruises from two good lead falls are worse than Vedauwoo!
A larger version of the clouds, in all b&w
Dylan examines Mark's manly belly
Dylan starts up Cheerleaders Gone Hippie (5.9+)
Dylan below the crux of the 5.9
Dylan above the crux - made it look easy
Sucess!

Mark on the 11b
Mark's off the 11b!
Liv is still asleep
Mark works hard for another bolt on the climb
But he's off again!
Because Dylan asked for analysis

Wave clouds breaking over the mountains
Cloud breakers
