Yup, the good old Coke!
That's the Doctor's Office, Steve - where we found your webbing for the descent off of Lucky Goes to the Creamery.
There's an unclimbed 200 foot over-hanging splitter on that wall with the brown stripe, gonna be wicked hard when it goes.

The tale of the FA of Days of Future Passed is a classic and I will tell it on the Abra thread with full photo documentation when I have the time.
Nice shots of Kingpin, Bob! I did an early ascent of that beautiful and surprisingly friendly line. I absolutely ate the first pitch up only to have a wierd little bout of vertigo belaying higher on the route. Too much time spent looking down the steepness!
Killer wires and edges and you're feelin' like a Kingpin up there! Great route.

"Superboulder", Prescott
This boulder is now either gravel, or in someone's backyard.

Finally bothered with the Photobucket approach so here's some stolen shots of Az daze.
Lets not forget the Big Ditch. My vote for best climb there goes to Pegasus but South Face of Zoro is also highly rated.

How about from the Forks, thanks to Larry for his work scanning (and to Haisley's and others for sharing)
FA of the classic East of Eden, by the man we all owe the Forks to: Scott the Man Baxter
Actually, we owe the find of the Forks to Jim Whitfield, troubled artiste extraordinaire, RIP old friend. He took Scott out there and told him
he'd thought he'd found a place with some pretty good looking climbs. :-)
Tim Coats on second ascent of Sail Away
(might be first ascent, but I was pretty sure I led it first and Tim repeated it. Maybe he did it before me and never had the heart to tell me ?)
FA of Pillowing (aka Davidson Dihedral)
FA of King Fissure (2 pitch climb at the Forks ? Kinda a hard second pitch. Named for the King Fisher flying around and croaking at us) - Davidson and Baxter
FFA of the Gold Finger Exit - Larry had led the lower pitch and used a move of aid on this exit (as I recall anyway) and dared us to free these moves. King Fissure is two corners right. Davidson, Haisley

In honor of the Man of Flagstaff:
Scott Baxter.... Find the Beanie.
This was from one of his Syndicato Banquets,
which started the whole Beanfest thing.
I believe this was the second year he'd had a bouldering contest at Parks Wall
That's Scott's dad in the right foreground, Davidson on the wall and Hernando Coates waiting to pounce.

Or how about this guy hiding behind his hat in the background:
Edit: Guess a hint is in order since you can hardly see the short dude.... He's carrying a camera.
