LAS PALOMAS PEAK

Here are some pics of me trying the climb "Blonde Ambition" put up on the 23 June 1997 by me and my climbing partner Bernard Moret in memory of Jane Tennessen . This is a great climb (5.11c/d) that I have as a long term project. I am making progress. For example, do not try the 5.12+ finger crack variation I am making in the first picture. Its a crank! Save those fingers! The better move is to sidepull up to the obvious undercling on the left of the crack and go from there!

Here I am on something a little more manageable! my first lead: lonesome dove (5.9) at Palomas.
