I like this, good capture.
And I love lead climbing almost as much as I love bouldering.

@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks Paul... You have some unique photos there mate!!
Sheffield (my home) has become the center of the bouldering universe (indoor) as just opened this month - http://www.climbingworks.com/ (Go have a look)
It's awesome! I've only been once so far.....
Where do you climb mostly?

I haven't had a chance to climb much lately, but for a while there I was a fairly major player on the junior indoor comeptition league here in the states. The JCCA which eventually became the USCCA after it included adults.
As to outdoor climbing, mostly in the southeastern US, red river gorge, new river gorge, table rock, etc.
I've done some climbing in my native New England as well, some casual bouldering in kent falls, a few various other places in Connecticut and New Hampshire as well as some buildering on some old "castles" there.
I haven't climbed in a good while but I'm still really interested in it since I've been climbing since I was about 11. I've considered getting back into the competition curcuit, but probably won't.

Hi Paul - I've been 'googling' Kent Falls, Red River Gorge, Table Rock etc... It all looks great!! The weather over here means only a couple of hours outside if it's dry!
Rest of time it's on the indoor walls - which we have four of in Sheffield so that quite good!
