I am so bummed out about friends dying and I know the end is near!
I just want to post some old photos.
I hope you don't mind.
Kurt Smith on Midnight Lightning,
Rick Cashner on Blue Suede Shoes.
Warren Harding's bivy on the first ascent of The Menehune Wall.
A manipulated version of The P.O.
Eric Barrett on Maxine's Wall.
Steve Bosque on Lost Arrow Spire.
It's not real.
Frank Brown on Moby Dick Center.

All this death is bumming me out, I'm going DMV!

Thanks for the pics - nice breath of life in the middle of darkness.
Man - have YOU got it dialed with the sense of impending mortality drift!
It is freaking me out that a hell of a lot of people who I "grew up" with are going away - celebrities, climbing idols, real life friends - all people who marked times in my life when I was young and the world was ahead of me and no one died or even thought about it.
Now I swear I spot that black robed fuker stalking me from afar.
Somedays I can't decide whether to start running again or just lock the door and hide?

Here's to hoping we all can let this bird fly

Hey Blitz, don't you have some FA shots of Phoenix or something you could share?
Daphne did some field research for you on gluten free (or whatever it is) beer this weekend. Pretty sure she's working up a TR as we sit here.
Stay tuned...
