Bombs over Tokyo shot is killer, probably because we just don't see that much of that route, so thx for posting.
There is something about posting a pic on, at, about a formation that is common, but that is shot from a unique angle.
I would think the photogs on the site would agree on that principle. The more unique the shot on a commonly appreciated climb or formation, the more the climber eye is drawn to it.

Thanks Munge - I finally got a slide scanner so as soon as I can figure it out better, I'll get some more oldies but goodies out there.
Bob - classic stuff man. Two inch swami belts were the shiznit back in the day -compared to one inch!

Sorry Bob, I can't remember. That picture is nearly 30 years old, and Bragg and I were in Boulder climbing every day for a month. My caption notwithstanding, I think the actual 5.11 climbing was higher up.

On a Boulder theme too ... onsight lead of What's Up?, 5.10d, on Elephant Buttress in Boulder Canyon, 1975. (For a middle-of-the-pack climber, that felt proud at the time.)
Gear list: EBs, swami belt, one set of slung hexes and stoppers.

swiss-seat on mil-spec rope, ~83. Not quite old school era, but inspired by it, anyway.

Cleanin' the bugs off your glasses after taking your day on the roof was a major bummer.
