I'll be adding a few photos from my cell phone camera of the action on Canton first, then camera shots from Logan in Millvale later.

The tandem:
The agony of defeat (?)
Great pics sara (we can just scroll through the whole set on flicker)
@Marko;
I realized that after the first few posts, which is why I stopped posting here.
Will let everyone know when the shots from Logan are also on Flicker.
Ok, 70+ photos up.
Should be able to see them at:

Set is Dirty Dozen 2012
Great photos! Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's Dirty Dozen event. It is really cool that Pittsburgh is the home of this event.
Photos are nowhere near great. But, I am sure that there are some people who will get some enjoyment out of seeing themselves, or seeing friends "in the act" of climbing either Logan or Canton.
Camera was VERY sluggish in the cold on Logan. I missed a lot of shots waiting for the shutter, while others are no longer in sharp focus due to the delay. Sorry about that!
Images are actually somewhat sharper on Canton, where I was using my cell phone camera, which was easier to keep warm.
I really appreciate them, thanks.
I love seeing all these photos! I'll be posting some photos my wife took on Boustead hopefully tonight.
Just found these online too - local photographer was getting some nice shots:

Great set;
I love the baby, the shot with the white bike at the bottom, and Stef's facial expression combined with the woman in pink behind her
That was 1 of 4 or so failed attempts before making it up. I took my heavy gloves off right before succeeding.
my favorite is the dude with the giant beard on canton!
@HV: did you notice that some of the spectators at Holt-Eleanor were cheering you on as "Beard Guy"?
@dan - i did notice, and i yelled (tried to) out a thank you for setting them straight as to my name. seriously, it's like a scarf that i never have to take off! highly recommended for everyone!
Ah so you're that guy. Impressive.
Baby=my niece. She freaking rules.

Here is a video of her confirming that she
can outclimb most of us. 11 months old.
steevo-that video is fantastic! What a girl! (I think I sounded very similar at the top of Boustead:)
I hope she has a balance bike already..
