Setting up. - 102 0265 IMG
Bryan leads. - 102 0268 IMG
As they regroup, it's decided that unconventional methods are called for. - 102 0269 IMG
Shut up! This climb was hard! So what if Leslie needed a little help from the tree? - 102 0270 IMG
Look! There she is! On the rock! (Yes, that's Doug in the "stand there so when Leslie falls she hits you instead of the tree" position.) - 102 0271 IMG
Bryan volunteers his shoulder. Doug, his head. - 102 0272 IMG
And she does fall. And she does hit Doug. Or rather, her ass hits his head. Good times. - 102 0273 IMG
And, with a serious boost, back on the rock. (Notice Doug cringing.) - 102 0276 IMG
And Doug is finally out of ass-range. - PICT0064
