a Motley crew Location: the doorstep of Bryan's apt This is a collection of our neighbors. Mostly interns, but the occasional traveling tech exec does show up to bum a Corona. - new Picture5

It continues Location: Hueco Tanks State Park See those nice big huecos on the rock just beyond Bryan? Yeah, he didn't use those. Most of the rest of us did. I'm not saying Bryan's stupid, just a little...challenged. - new Picture9
This is Love Shack Location: Reimer's fishing Ranch - Love Shack This is one of Bryan's favorite climbs, but he has yet to send it. Oh well, as long as he's having fun working it... - new Picture22

Still on the Fiver Location: I-5 Over 24 hours later, and we're still on the same road. (However, we are a little bit farther north.) - P5240020
the friday climb Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Hong readies George for his ascent. - IMG 1813
8-Flake Location: Reimer's Ranch A 5.8 near prototype. Ali's first lead! - IMG 2054
It begins Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Little does Bryan know he won't be down for four hours (it is now 10:15 a.m.). - new Picture7

Hong harnesses himself Location: Hueco Tanks State Park On the schedule for the morning was a climb everyone could (theoretically) do: Head Fox, a 150 foot 5.10. - IMG 2058
It continues Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Bryan climbs the rock (lather, rinse, repeat). - IMG 2069

Did I say "ice?" I meant "candy." Location: Hueco Tanks State Park A stop at Walgreens for sunscreen resulted in George, Bryan, Leslie and Ali fanning out and independently filling their arms with crap (pringles! coke! snickers! cookies!). We reunited at the cashier looking slightly shamefaced. Then, as though we'd been in the desert for months (rather than less than 24 hours), we tore into the food before we were out of the store. - P5220004
night Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Nights get cold in the desert. Bryan and Leslie cling to each other under a sarong on the crash pad (more comfortable than it sounds). - IMG 2056
It continues Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Necks get very sore when you're out climbing. - new Picture8

Bryan, fearless leader Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Bryan led the climb, giving all of us (okay, me) heart palpitations as he climbed without protection to the first bolt, 30 feet up. - P5220001
In the beginning Location: Hueco Tanks State Park There was no form, and the wind moved over the face of water. On the first day, Leslie banged a pot to dump out the remains of her spaghetti sauce, and God cloaked the horror of his creation in night. - P5240021

It is finished Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Bryan gives a victory wave. - IMG 2057
It pauses Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Bryan stops for a photo op at the first bolt, some ungodly distance from the ground. - IMG 2113
back to earth Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Or maybe he's just starting, because we've established that these pictures are very poorly ordered. - IMG 1811
