Here, Nate is pretending to be Vana White. I'm the hardware store to his right.

I would call the first pitch of Spire Two "a dicey 5.2." Yeah, the hardest part was deciding what mongo ledge to stop on. I put a cam in a crack more for show than protection.

This is Jeremy and his do-rag heading up the first pitch.

Nate poses as he takes up the rope.

Nate Steinken is either giving us a speech about war, doing a cool, new R&B dance move, or he's showing the camera his finger that was injured during the climb. You decide.

Meghan is way cooler than any treehugger.

This is JJ showing us how to rappel like a pirate. His biggest piece of advice was to keep saying, "Argh, me matey!" in a deep, gruff voice while feeding the rope through the ATC. I offered to cut off his leg and poke out his eye in exchange for an earing and a parrot, but he declined.

This is Nate showing the camera a present he gave me for leading the climb. (It's a banana peel.)

This is Amber being embarrassed of her husband's inability to eat solid food properly. I said, "At least it isn't coming out of his nose." And I think she felt better after that.
