Great shots Kate!! (Now that you have figuared out how to post photo's Bust em out girl.)
What a great perspective tom is able to give us, instead of the usual butt or looking down shot we always seem to get of ourselves.

Ha, T2, speaking of Tom's perspective...here's a perspective that might have explained why the crack felt kinda funny when nailing. Some pitches look scarier from upclose, some look scarier from a distance.
Ha ha, gee, looks like A1 to me! D'oh!

Hey Lambone: They are from Shortest Straw, p7, 5, and 9. My partner is Mike with Dreads, Hansome Mike, Stinky Mike. He's an awesome partner, so solid and chill he can put you to sleep and keep you there till 11am if you're not careful. :)
Post up some of yer pics, Lambone. You've been up there a ton, you must have some great Tom shots!
-Kate.

"This was some hooking, it was fun b/c it was traversing and creepy, the hook im getting on was placed with a nut tool. *shiver* :) "
Oh come now, Kate - it doesn't look that baaaaaaaaad. I can see the edge you're hooking from half a mile away! ;)
How do you guys scan Tom's slides? I have a little slide accessory thingy I put on top of a regular flat-bed scanner, but it's really no hell. Is there a Better Way?

Kate is that the hook move right below 2 small heads? Some edge on that pitch partly broke when I got on the hook. Think I said oh f*#k and then realized I wasn't taking the fall as expected.
I think you went a different way than I on the 5th. Did you hit the rivet? If so that would make sense, as it was to the left of me. That pitch is rad rock patterns... too bad it is chossy there.
None of those pics do Mikes dreads justice... they are long!!!

I thought that looked like familiar terrain. That flake gets climbed on either side, the left side being Z.M. right? What a cool climb. Appologies to Tom for the thread drift, Your photos kick ass!!!

Holy Sh%t!
Posting this stuff took me longer than leading any pitch on Zodiac. I start work in just over an hour, but I think that I deserve a quick glass of port. (It is just twelve noon EST)
LET'S ALL RAISE OUR GLASSES TO TOM.
Cheers,
Doug

Hey Lambone,
Funny about the pic Tom took of you at he same time that your buddy took one. I have a pic that Tom took of me about five feet before topping out on Zodiac and in it my arms are stetched out in front of me, as I am taking my own pic of me. It's cool that he knows when to shoot. Thanks again Tom.
