Hmmm, lots of camera tilt there

But you're still looking hardcore in the photo.

Re: Hmmm, lots of camera tilt there

Hate to call you out on this one but there ain't no "tilting" going on here! The camera man kept his eye on the horizon. Get out there and check it out...

Re: Hmmm, lots of camera tilt there

Sometimes.... you hit that slab and it all just falls together. There's no thinking about the moves, your feet just move and carry you up. Those are the best days for soloing. Others... Well, that slab is steep and scary. Good job, Deb!

You're right, Klenke - there might be a slight camera tilt there... A little too low on the left horizon! That slab is at *least* that steep. Don't take my word for it though, come on out and see for yourself!

Another good one!

All I can say is "SHIIIIT!!!"

You are confronting my worst fears, Deb - free-soloing steep friction slabs :)

Here's that section of 5.7 on the last pitch of the THT. Don't look down! Lookin' good, BBOP!

Re: Another good one!

That looks scary! I have freesoloed 5.4 friction before, but 5.7 that high up!

CRAZY

Don't you know that free soloing is extremely dangerous and irresponsible?

YOU KNOW I'M KIDDING. Nice shot brave lady. I hate slab!

Re: CRAZY

Still CRAZY about you and still professing the truth about how much I love you....sometimes at the top of a mountain :)

BTW, you're lookin' SLAB-O-LICIOUS there!! Don't slip! =Q

Re: Stones!

I was very confident of my shoes' ability to stick, although I did slip about 2" once and both of our hearts stopped momentarily. =8O

So Free Looking

The rock looks so grippy and sticky....I have never done any technical climbing, but we have this kind of grippy granite here in Tahoe..that I love to go scramble up on and play on!
I love how it is only you and the rock..no ropes or other stuff..it's so natural and free looking!
Very cool picture!
