Nice scenery Location: Little Si I just can't capture the lush, greenlike nirvana you enter when hiking in the cascades with a camera. Trust me, it's super-noot. - 105 0544 IMG
"The Twelve" Location: REI Redmond That's what they call this climb, even though they rate it .11b/c - 116 1653 IMG P

Big M&Ms Location: Las Vegas Strip We went out to see the sights on the strip after we got to the hotel. We still hadn't seen or heard from Drew, whom I was expecting at 10:45 or so. It was about 11:00 at this point. - 105 0519 IMG
World Wall I Location: Little Si This is the wall of our first climb, "Reptiles and Amphetamines." This particular crag is said to contain, according to our trusty guidebook, "the best sport climbing in the Northwest." - PC180030 rotated

A touch of the old style Location: San Francisco Yet another building in this city which is definitely not our hotel. Maybe our hotel's a little bit further up, oh wait, maybe not, um, well maybe we'll find it over here... eventually. - 115 1561 IMG
More Bruce Location: Alexis Park Hotel I'm currently working through another of his books, Applied Cryptography I got interested in it after reading Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, in which one of Schneier's algorithms is used. Schneier also submitted a proposal to use his own encryption, TwoFish, as the new national standard ("AES"). It didn't make it. - 105 0522 IMG
Reptiles and Amphetamines Location: Little Si This climb lives up to its fame. Both Drew and I led it, the thing was gorgeous. Note: it is now about 8:00am, and still bone dry despite gathering clouds. - 104 0463 IMG
Drew gets ready to belay Location: the Marymoore park climbing structure This is our second time to use the new equipment we bought. Here, drew checks to make sure there are no kinks in the rope before bryan climbs. Ain't that sweet? - 116 1645 IMG P

Approaching Storm Location: Arizona While listening to the Lord of the Rings, we noticed the signs of an approaching storm.
