Greg, Welcome to the climbing world's version of reality TV. This place is like the love child of "Oprah" and "The Gerry Springer Show". Actually I've never watched either of those shows so I'm not sure that is the right analogy. Maybe "from the sublime to the ridiculous" describes it.
Whatever, it's addicting and fun...

Enduring Patagonia inspires me to keep writing about my futile struggles in the low end alpine arena. When I get writer's block I often dust off the cover and dig in for for a dose of literary inspiration. Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us hacks and scardeycats who may never get to gaze upon the patagonian icecap but have been there with you a time or two.

Welcome to the Supertango, land of hardmen, wierdos, heroes, never weres, deadbeats, misfits, hasbeens and may someday bes. Most of us are somewhere in between. Enjoy the show. Glad to have you on board.

Well, I will cop to being excited out of my mind for China's Wings upcoming release...

Here's a little blurb that explains how an off the cuff remark of Charlie's helped launch the entire project http://gregcrouch.com/2010/fall-in-love-with-it

Plus, it's absolutely fabulous to learn that EP still has legs, and is still reaching people. For years I thought that book was a failure, as all I heard was silence, overwhelming silence, but once I joined facebook, all kinds of people have connected with me to share how much they've enjoyed it and been inspired by it... which actually ended up pulling me through when morale was pretty low...

hey greg, i'm kinda bummed to hear how you felt EP had failed. i know many people who loved the book, myself included. i loved all the gnarly alpine tales but my favorite by far was the "ball washer" story. so many mountain books focus strictly on alpine tales of bravery but it was so cool to get a hilarious insight to "normal" life back home.

I'm happy to report three things about that job: first, that Phil, the evil mastermind of the "FunWash," is still a good friend, and second, that I'll never have to install another one of those things, nor third, spend another minute in a MacDonalds.

Am I allowed to update this? Hope so.

I'm feeling the climbing love this week... been getting good help and advice from Rolo on one hand, and Donini on the other, have had Charlie Fowler and Jim on my mind due to the photo blasts I posted on my website (and linked to from here) this week.

To that end, I've just posted these shots of J Jay Brooks in Patagonia, taken from one of the two or three rolls of black & white film I've ever shot.

Hope you enjoy 'em. (I guess it comes with a little essay, too.)

BTW, I've got an Enduring Patagonia Pinterest board if you're into that sort of thing. Feel free to repin 'em and share 'em around. I'll be adding to it as I get around to digitizing more of the old photo collection.

I knew it had to be your Dad, Greg.

He was an interesting professor back in the days of pre-history when I was there. He'd not suffer fools well as I recall. Calling people out in class for reading the newspaper in the back of a giant lecture hall. He'd certainly be confiscating some I-phones were he still at it, I suspect.

I think I recall seeing him at the elephant bar many many years ago. That has been a long-running tradition. I'll take the Ravens plus the points!

Also must say that your book Enduring Patagonia was very enjoyable.

Generally a good idea to take the points, and to pick only one game, the one you think has the best price... watching Dad's "players" through the years has been a abject lesson in the stupidity of man. They're financing my son's college fund, however, so I'm the last person who'll complain.

We had a couple of great climbs, best of all from my perspective being a trip up The Fang, which was a really big deal to me at the time, just as I was getting a handle on what I might be able to get done. Jack was always very generous to me with his knowledge, which I much appreciated. Hope you're doing okay. That's the aspect of climbing I truly despise. Truly despise.

Having a strange climbing and Patagonia related experience here in California this morning -- my 12-year old son Ryan is reading Enduring Patagonia

It's pretty great to see how much he's enjoying it, but it also raises a pretty serious question about what it means to be a parent, and a climber.

Of course I love climbing, and as an individual, it defines who I am as much or more than anything else, and I'd be delighted to teach Ryan to climb -- if it's something he genuinely wants for himself.

But I don't think it's right for me to make him into a climber just because I'm one. The sport is just too damn dangerous, as any deep perusal of these threads makes obvious.

We've done a little gym climbing and have taken a few trips up to Yosemite and Tuolumne, which have been great, and great experiences for Ryan, but I haven't pushed it too hard. We only go when Ryan asks to go, which he hasn't done very often -- just a time or two a year.

If Ryan wants to be a climber, I feel like it should be his decision as much as possible, one that he makes when he's a little older than he is now, when he's grown into more of his own person. This is one passion I really don't feel comfortable pointing him too strongly toward without him wanting it for himself. I have a pretty strong intuition that I shouldn't force feed it to him.

Of course, when the time comes, if he wants to learn, I'm going to be delighted to teach him. And I'm going to want to do it.

I'd also be very interested in hearing from other parents how they've dealt with this issue. To me, it feels like a big one.

I'm w/you on this one, Greg. Climbing is my thing, not my kids. They are still sort of little (6,6, and 8), and I take them climbing every few months or so. They go out scrambling and running around in the wilderness all the time, but roped climbing not too often;....usually only when they ask or we are going w/other families who want to take their kids climbing. My kids love computer games, soccer, tennis, basketball, mountain biking, baseball, swimming;...that is their thing. I support those activities more than I support climbing. Climbing is my thing, not theirs. Climbing is a dirty and dangerous sport. I would rather see them surfing and snowboarding too......less likely to get snuffed and they can meet those cute rad surf/snowboard girls;...........(we got to hang out with the dirty camp four girls;....with their bad habits and foul mouths......worked for me, but probably not for them....).....
My son Von, who is handicapped and has CP, was scrambling and bouldering a few days ago in Indian Cove in Joshua Tree Nat. Park......he said, " Dad, will you teach me how to rock climb better. I want to be a good rock climber."....and I said, "Sure, Von....we can do that."......so there you go........

Ha! Thanks, Steve.

Took the party a few days in advance. Got Andy Lindblade to fly down from Portland for two days of cragging at Lovers Leap this past Friday and Saturday.

Which was wonderful.

I'm resolved to get out climbing more consistently this season than I have in recent years, but I'm in dire need of a guy- or gal- Thursday to help make it happen.

So, a CL post for climbers:

49-year old SWM climber needs somebody with a pulse who knows how to tie a figure-8 and belay, has their own harness and climbing shoes, and who is consistently available on Thursdays for day strikes into the Sierras, Tahoe to Yosemite.

Flipping leads optional but not required.

Motivation mandatory.

Since I'm coming back from surgery, I'm aiming for a season of moderates, 5.7s, 5.8s, and 5.9s to get back in the game.

I'm happy to help you learn the outdoor ropes if that's a transition you're looking to make.

If you want to check my bona fides, there are several souls here who have done a few pitches with me who would probably vouch for the fact that I likely won't kill you.

The perfect guy- or gal- Thursday would live in the Bay Area so we can share the driving, have a brain and something to say, a sense of humor, and a rope in better condition than mine.

KLK made an overture a few weeks ago, but we haven't managed to make it happen yet. (Sorry. Hopefully soon.)

Greg, happy birthday. On the topic of climbing with your kids I have done quite a bit with my son who is now 14. I also don't push him, but it helps that i am just a punter. For the most part we only did stuff way below my lead level until he was big enough to belay me appropriately. For the most part we did lots of moderate cracks. He is a funny kid as he wont tape,use chalk, or sport climb for the most part and he certainly did not get that from me. We now regularly do multi pitch and he has become very competent with rope work. One thing we have is lots of easy and moderate routes in the black hills which is ideal for a young lad.

I do struggle that some day he might get enough experience that he will do dangerous things when he get older, and God knows I would feel terrible if anything should ever happen to him. On the other side I think he has a very good head and has learned a lot of skills. I think a lot us did dangerous things without the knowledge of how the"ropes" work that made it even more dangerous when we first started climbing.

Just my two cents

Edit: one other thing is that I have tried to instil in him that the reason I climb is that it is fun. Not to chase numbers or things that others feel he should do. I have been doing many of the same routes for the last twenty years.
