RG on cheap heroic solo of High Exposure. Don't tell the sports fans it's just a 5.6 jughaul.
Matt Hale on the summit of Lost Arrow Spire. Note the already-coiled hero's rope.
RG on Double Crack in the Gunks, with hero protection on easy hero section.
RG on summit of Mt. Moran. Entire outfit purchased from Heros 'r Us.
RG on Guide's wall. Pro to be placed only after hero shot is in the can.

Bragg relaxing heroically on Frogland, Red Rocks.
RG scoping at Seneca Rocks. Another outfit from Heros 'R Us.
Stannard heroically nailing the A? flake on the West Face of Sentinel. Unlike the other shots here, actually heroic due to flake's tendency to expand as pitons were driven.
RG heroically striking Rebufattian posture on Oblique Twique, Gunks.

The great Jim Holloway near Pueblo, Colorado about 1977. He was way ahead of his time!
Edit: (below) I don't like the idea of heroes. I am more comfortable with the idea of role models (Marlow)
I agree. I've never liked to use the word "hero" for role models in climbing.

I don't like the idea of heroes. I am more comfortable with the idea of role models. Here's a couple of them.

Marlow,
Great shot of Voytech.
My "hero" too.
I probably wouldn't be here to write this if Voytech hadn't been along on that climb up the Walker Spur in 1975, when my partner grabbed his rope after being hit by lightning.
