Pseudo vertical panaramic, actually a digital stitch. Poor little point and shoot digital is pretty weak when it comes to wide angle stuff.
Nice effect, though. I've done the climb and seen photos, but not one like that.
Snakefoot -- We should be around most of August, can't say yet for sure but the chances are good. These are great days for afternoon climbs on Cathedral.

Cool photos from Tennessee and Colorado to the Alps, notable contributions from New England.
Here's one more non-notable shot from our own low adventures.

Khanom and Jaybro: Yup, TradChick's right, it's called Vertigo (5.9), on Cannon Cliff.
Another angle: Look ma, no hands!
A really good knee-bar is practically as good as a ledge to stand on. Just... a little more strenous.
GO

Looks like a classic, go! Yup, knee jsam often make great hands free rests, but check out the scar tissue on the knees of old guys who've been jamming 'em for decades; I'm just guessing, here.
Big, thanks, but, I'd awready gotten that, far.

GO, I liked your downwards shot especially -- nice sharp view of that pitch.
Have to agree with L that Emac's color scheme in the Shag Crag photo is striking.

We went to Shasta and it was low on snow. No big surprise this year aye? We did the Muir route, which was of the punter variety but made a bit more spicy given the lack of proper snow.
They had gotten 4" of the white stuff the night before we arrived. Made things look pretty:
Here's a closer shot showing the Red Banks(crux):
The clouds were thick through this area. Route finding was easy though:
Here's the crux chute through the Banks. Usually there is lots more snow. The lack of it made it a thin, mixed affair:
Coming out above the clouds made for some scenic views:
Misery Hill wasn't all that:
Climbing towards the summit above Misery:
Finally, the summit:
All things considered, Mt Conness north ridge would have been a better choice given the lack of snow on Shasta, but we had a fun time nonetheless.

The trail was pretty rough. We almost didn't make it. We struggled onward and upward fighting gravity's mighty pull. The only thing that kept us going was the hope of plump, ripe berries of blue.
Best friends at the top:
ps: daddy was a real fu%&*%g a$$hole making us do this.

Random TR's? I have a few things I always wanted to share with somebody who maybe cares a little? Well probably not, but anyways..
The second person climbing is 76 years old, he was bagging FA's in 1950 at this place, with wooden pitons and hemp shoes!
Scariest rock I have ever climbed on, like Pinnacles but 600 feet tall, when its good, its great, when its bad it breaks just looking at it.
Some limestone alpine climbing
Headed to a wonderland of rocks (not the wonderland of rocks though)
bustin' a little move on some rad friction climbing

Yeah they are, how could you have driven by but not stopped?! and done it a few time!? Whats wrong with you!?! Go climb there, it is so fun. Lots of stuff to do, but I thought the slab climbing was such a blast.

Heh, we weren't in climbing-trip mode at the time, just visiting our daughter who lives in Segovia. The cragging did look fun from a distance.
