You may know Bryan Johnson as Byron Jones, or you may not. But know this: he crushes and motivates to an impressive degree. What is unknown, however, is why anyone would subject themselves to the sit start of Bloody Arete in Ute Pass. [v11] © Photo by Justin Jaeger

Justin Jaeger’s Collection of Classic Boulder Problems

Justin Jaeger enjoys taking photos of his friends while climbing, and subsequently exploiting the photos to poke fun at them. He makes no claim to greatness; rather, he enjoys horrifying “real” photographers by explaining his use of inexpensive film, one-hour drug-store developing and the infamous “Photo CD” option to get his images into the digital realm. The following collection is a sacrificial offering to help subsequent photographers feel much more confident and dignified in their work. Justin was featured in last months OFF THE WALL 2 in our “Player” profile. [https://www.climbing.com/exclusive/otw2/jaegerplayer1]
