OK, just a couple of photos from a recent jog down to the "Monument."
Of course all are of my partner, Toby. He was visiting from across the pond. Of course all are of his arse because, as you'd guess, I was always belaying while shooting.
I was there for a week and came out totally trashed. Man, what a great week; cold as the tip of an Eskimo's tool at night, T-shirt weather in the day...
Can you guess these routes?
One or two are pretty easy.
The other, maybe not so.

Man, you guys don't sleep?
1. Right! I spent 20 minutes cleaning a fixed 2.5 Friend at the crux, now it's back to beautiful (as in "you can get your hands in now").
2. Easy street
3. Toby loved that I snapped that one just then. Not the best pic, but a fun time nonetheless.
So, who was the big winner on Sat?

Hey Kelly
Nice pix. you left as I arrived, although the weather was still good for a few more days. Finally made it out to Big Horn Mating for some stellar crack a bit away from the road. Hands aren't healed yet and I'm jonesin' to get back.

How "fixed" was that 2.5, K-man? I fell on that route years back, and my 2.5 saved my ass.

That 2.5 was hammered. The cable was broken on the inside cams, but I could move all four cams with my fingers; it was a Houdini trick getting it out. It was in a really funky spot with two of the cams stuck in a pocket kinda thing.
Toby clipped the Friend's manky sling. When I asked how the placement was, he said "mediocre." Then he fell on it and broke the sling (good thing he had backed it up). I see, the sling was mediocre, the placement bomber!
All in all, a stellar route. Now even better without the fixed mank.
As for BHMG, truely a Josh center piece!

I was surpised the flake did not move when I fell. My 2.5 came right out and I refuse to climb without it on my rack. It is the only "piece" that has kept me from a ground fall and most likely some serious injuries.
