Brad Gobright redpointing Superfly! Proud indeed.
My buddy Scott Bennett buzzed me a couple days ago to inform me that there was a pending attack on Superfly again. By now you should be somewhat familiar with the name of this route. It's a lesser known but total classic in Eldorado Canyon up in Kloof Alcove.
I shot pictures of Brad Gobright attempting it on Saturday but he wasn't able to link it all together that day. This route packs quite a punch for being only 60 ft long. Another friend of mine, Joe Mills, was going to attempt it also. I shot pics of Joe climbing Freeline about a month ago so I knew he would probably try to onsight the route. In the end, Brad got his redpoint and Joe settled for a "Flash" after watching Brad climb it first. BTW, a Flash is still super proud! In the future I think I'm going to hang a 25lb dumbbell from Joe's harness just to make him struggle a little!
It's truly great to photograph friends with so much talent!

Gotta love them green aliens!
Great pics Rob, thanks for coming out. We should go shoot Hairstyles and Attitudes soon!
