I went up to the Smoke Bluffs in Squamish, with a friend, to shoot some climbing photos. This asian fellow was climbing a great route called "Neat and Cool", which is rated 5.10a. It was the first time I saw someone do a lead, although I am certain many have led this route before. It was exhilarating to watch, and to shoot! The climber is just starting the traverse section of the climb. He is working toward the crack on the upper right side of the photo, that angles from right to left at about a 60 degree angle.

I decided to add enough shots to provide a sequence of moves this guy faced. I think it will put you more in his shoes!
