TWC Originals

 

The Original Tucson Wall Crawlers Photo Gallery

In July of 2002 James Higginson started dabbling in web design.  For some reason it took hold, and became an outlet for him to record his climbing adventures, and organize a local climbing group for the Tucson Community.  Part of his amateur efforts in the beginning was a compilation of hundreds of pictures from his climbing days starting in 1998.  James is by no means a professional photographer - most of these pictures are old snapshots scanned or recorded digitally so they don't fade. 

-"I'm a sentimental person.  I like to keep everything.  Pictures don't last forever unless they're on the internet!  I guess this is my way of keeping a scrapbook without feeling like a complete dork."  -James

So, here are the original pictures in the Tucson Wall Crawlers Photo Gallery.  If you look long enough, and keep an open mind, you may just find a couple shots worth putting on your desktop for a day.

Tucson Wall Crawlers has evolved, and is growing every day.  It is the father to www.buenavistaclimbingclub.com, and the grandfather to www.rentthewall.com.  The new Wall Crawler photo gallery is compiled every week following our "Every-Wednesday" climbing tradition.  We have been going strong for 15 weeks now, and we have some great trips coming up, and some great climbing ahead of us.  TAKE A LOOK at the new face of the TWC, and join us anytime for some climbing and fun with a great group of people!

Below are a few samplings of the early website.  The original lay out and design is lost, but "ROCKMAN" was the main element of design and remains a part of TWC.  We haven't forgotten you, Rockman!
