...and his pose seems to've been modeled after a previous guidebook illustration.

survival, I am the one leading the crack.
The crack is size dependent, inch and an eighth and very slick!
The cams would slide out of the crack occasionally.
I have done 5.12b's that seem easier.
Cool thread you started here,enjoy, Scott.

Anyone climbed the perfect handcrack that goes up the South side of the Memorial stadium at Berkeley? Probably 100 ft, goes through two small roofs at the top, all hands to cupped hands by the feel of the bottom. Immediately adjacent to entrance.
Someone must have climbed that thing. What a plum.
Any pics/stories of Cal buildering out there?

cintune,
Nice addition, thanks. That guy is an amazing story.
I have some "killer" Dia De Los Muertos stickers, and I think I should award at least three.
Anybody want to weigh in before I just pick my three faves?

An example of one of the prizes.
Sorry, I'm not rich, but they're nice stickers!

I like the Alpine "bridge" shot too.
I'm nominating Loomis "Ocean Beach" for 2nd place, although I'm not seeing it on my thread at the moment.
3rd place- I like Peter's first Allan Bard "under the roof"
or Scott Nelson's first "Gilman parking structure"

Climbing I-Beam arches in my High school library:
and the video slide show:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaCPX6lBNjA
The house keeping lady in the library guessed it was me and made my partner and i go back up and clean off the chalk marks. The librarian took pictures and put it on the school website! and we thought we would've gotten kicked out if we got caught the first time
