Now, if he wasn't such a ill advised unrepentant poilitico.....
Other than that, Woodster is A-OK.

Here's Woody after his successful ascent of Hair Raiser butress, this after some idiot had chopped the bolts and the climb was now rated back to the old X rating. Didn't faze Woody however, he hopped up there and pulled the moves, yeah, nothing scares this guy!

Woody can still do 30 or more pull-ups......with no effort at all......he puts the fluff boys, gym rats and plastic pullers to shame.....

Say Karen, nice picture ! Now if I evah run into you I will recognize. Do you also climb at the J. Tree ?
Maybe Woody would give his fan club a "How is the Leg Doing" update...... : ))

He has that rugged handsome look that only comes with years, experience, and maturity;.....and is oft compared to Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Mel Gibson, and the New Kids on the Block guy named Donny.........

Woody is an inspiration. 41+ years after putting up classics like The Flake, Dogleg and Double Cross he is still cranking (and pulling off scary leads).
