Johnny Cash Falls

Our second trip to Johnny Cash

(click image to enlarge)

Unfortunately, no one got a good shot of Sean's lead, but it was a beauty.  Here's a shot of the rope with Sean's 3 screw placements (click to enlarge...a lot).

Russ Kirkham (otherwise known as Mr. Clean or Dr. Kirkhandle) had his first lead on Folsom Prison.  Cindy belayed at the bottom.

Me (Ryan) cleaning the route.

Cindy, who had never ice climbed before, got to clean Russ's lead.

Time for some fun climbing once the top ropes are up.  Sean on Sunday Morning Coming down (left), Sharon on Folsom Prison (right).  Ice climbers everywhere!!!

Sharon getting ready to top out.

Sean getting ready to top out.

Russ working on the harder route.

One of my first jaunts into the realm of mixed climbing.  Luckily the tool placements were really big.

This is way too much fun.

Now that looks like an ice climber...Sean climbs between the wind caves.

Verrry delicate tool placements here.

I'm not sure what Sean's doing here, but it looks pretty cool.
