Nice work Johnny and Brain

First time I showed up at Humper Park and looked up to see rock climbers doing that - I got dizzy just watching and it scared the living $hit out of me and I said I'll never do that crazy stuff. Now I'm thinking how I can learn to at least try :D

Great Picts :D

Very cool. Felt like I was climbing up it reading the TR and seeing the photos.

Sweet pics and TR, Johnny! Tahquitz is one place I haven't climbed at yet. Hopefully that will change soon!

Thanks all,ya Tahquitz is a very special beautiful place.It is like a small cozy Yosemite :)

(Fun fact for those that dont know,the yosemite decimal grading system that we all are so common with (5.0-5.15) and use today was founded/created at Tahquitz)

Sweet TR! First time I did Traitor Horn was at night, full moon ascent. Couldn't see the exposure but could feel it and hear it! Looks like a primo day :D
