I'll try to put some pics up soon ...it tends to take me quite awhile to sort/name/stitch/edit all my photos. :)

Rolling Tree,
Whew! Those photos will only attract adrenaline junkies of the nth degree, and I see very few rocks in the descent of Lane that I'd be inclined to "trust". Nice job surviving what looks like a very challenging route, and thanks for the update.
