Still strapping. Location: Hueco Tanks State Park For some reason, this merited three pictures. - IMG 2002
and again Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Notice Leslie is wearing her characteristic "no, sure, no, this is great, this is fine, you fucking maniacs" grin. - IMG 2003
Just don't look down Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Because below you, there's only air, and, eventually, rock. Hard, hard rock. And Chris, holding your life in his hands. - IMG 2004
There she goes Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Just walking down the cliff. Backwards. - IMG 2005
Lean back Location: Hueco Tanks State Park As though there's something underneath you other than, you know, death. - IMG 2006
still going Location: Hueco Tanks State Park - IMG 2007
still going Location: Hueco Tanks State Park No, no, no! Not like that! You'll fall and die! - IMG 2008
Going Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Lower....lower.... - IMG 2009
Going Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Smile for the camera, Bryan. - IMG 2010
gone Location: Hueco Tanks State Park - IMG 2011
Ali takes a practice run Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Because Leslie's balls are bigger than his. - IMG 2012
Practice Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Or perhaps he's just smarter. - IMG 2013
Bryan supervises Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Reassuring Ali he won't die despite Leslie's broken and mutilated body on the rocks below. - IMG 2014
Here he goes Location: Hueco Tanks State Park I was joking about the broken and mutilated body, of course. - IMG 2015
Or not Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Back up, briefly. George talks him through it. - IMG 2016
And down again Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Disappearing over the edge of the cliff (what fun!). - IMG 2017
Going Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Because we just can't have too many pictures of this, can we? (this one's for Ali's mom) - IMG 2018
Water product for lunch Location: Hueco Tanks State Park The nastiest coldcuts and cheese ever, but pressed meat seemed like such a good idea at HEB. It would have been better had it never happened. (pass the gorp, for the love of god) - IMG 2019
Group photo Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Heading to the gymnasium for the afternoon. - IMG 2020
Getting there Location: Hueco Tanks State Park We managed to find the most difficult possible way to get to this bouldering place. Hong tackles it with aplomb. - IMG 2021
Navigating the crack Location: Hueco Tanks State Park We inch our way into the gymnasium. - IMG 2022
Jeff gets excited Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Somebody hold him back. The crash pad is still in the crack with Chris (not for long, as Bryan decides it's a good idea to throw it at George while George is holding Bryan's camera. Which crashes to the ground and breaks. But is ultimately fixed.) - IMG 2023
Doug in the crack Location: Hueco Tanks State Park One by one, they file through. - IMG 2024
Still in the crack Location: Hueco Tanks State Park There was a handy little rock. - IMG 2025
Chris in the crack Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Tossing George's backpack. - IMG 2026
Leslie, with that same grin Location: Hueco Tanks State Park This is one for the parents. - IMG 2027
Hong, looking sexy Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Hong tackles some bouldering problems. - IMG 2028
Hong, loving the jugs Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Hong heel-hooks a gigantic hueco. - IMG 2029
No one gets out of here alive Location: Hueco Tanks State Park At least, so the smarmy bastards who named the problem decided. Hong tackles the V2 roof. - IMG 2030
Jeff and Ali head for home Location: Hueco Tanks State Park A long day ends, and enough time is budgeted to go to town for ice.
