I see the names of many old time famous climbers mentioned on supertopo. I'd like mention an old time not as famous but very talented climber: Bill Price. I had the privelege of climbing a little bit with Mr. Price over the years and he was as good as any climber I've ever watched. He put up A5 routes on El Cap and 5.13 free climbs, all while managing to remain very humble. Let's hear it for one of the best Yosemite climbers of the 1970's and 80's.

Yeah, about time!
One of the mellowest, humblest, really hard crankin dudes I have ever known. A couple of years older, his example drove me hard in my teen years. Hearing that Bill had led butterballs at age 15 inspired me to do the same. How lucky was I to have a personal hero who I got to climb with. As I recall, he did the next send of Tales of Power after Mark & Max.
A memorable couple of days was when Steve Hong came to the valley in '79 to "learn how to jam better", (as we know, he learned pretty well) the three of us went down to Tales, with Bill giving me the encouragement I needed to send the lead, then went over to work on the Phoenix. None of us got very far, working on the opening traversing crux moves after the chipped corner. Soon thereafter Bill went back, went up to check out the crux moves again and to his surprise pulled the traverse, but had not taken any rack for the remainder of the stout crack. Hanging off the finger lock, he had his belayer tie the rack onto the rappel line and swing it into him. He hauled up the gear one handed, put it on and cranked to the top for the third ascent. No better effort was seen on that climb till years later when Moffat did it onsight.
Another great climb was the (probably 2nd) ascent of Sea of Dreams. He went up there with his new girlfriend Angie as a belayer and led every pitch.
Never sprayed, never slandered, always supportive of everyone elses efforts, he just quietly got it done, one of the very best climbers of the era for sure.

Hey Mr Mayfield,
I'm a Kevin Ludwig. I first met you when I used to climb with the Zaccor brothers (mid 1970's?). I remember hearing about you as a "10 yearold kid from the Bay Area who could easily climb 5.10" and had the honor of talking with you from time to time over the years. My most recent encounter with you was with Andrew Stevens last year in Lee Vining.
I met Bill Price, Augie Kline, Dave Diegleman, Kurt Reider, Kath Besio and the rest of the Ravenswood climbers when I began climbing at Rattlesnake Rock. It didn't take long before I realized that these folks were special climbers. At that time my sister was going to Ravenswood and she told me "Bill Price said that if you want to be a real climber you need to come to Ravenswood". Well I never became what you would call a "real climber", but I did transfer to Ravenswood as soon as possible I continue to climb poorly to this day. I treasure the memories of the times I was fortunate enough to spend with those folks and other "real climbers over the years".
One of my fondest climbing memories is going to Little Wing with Bill on the day before my wedding. He enouraged me to lead some climb (don't remember which one) and when I was successful he seemed almost as pleased as I was. It certainly would not have challenged Bill, but his encouragement meant alot to me. (Later that day I fell off my bike racing A.S. Stevens and visited the clinic for stitches in my head. I guess he won)
As Gary Zaccor once said to me memories were the real reason we continue to climb.

Nice shots Blitzo,
I have been meaning to look them up as they live in the same town that my Dad has retired in. I agree with all the above, talented, mellow, and one of the nicest people you would ever meet. They visited me in a South Lake Tahoe Hospital after I had major surgery and recovered while on morphine. I remember them visiting me but not very many of the other visitors. I have other memories as well under better circumstances.

Me and Kauk rapped to them.
Mike Graham I think was there along with so many others I can't remember who.
A lot of them were the Stonemasters.
Bev Johnson was Team leader.
What I remember the most was me and Ron were looking down the wall and could not see more than 10 feet down. Ron asks me where should we lower the ropes. I guessed "right here".
Bill or Dave (can't remember which one) said he felt this thing going down his neck and it was the rope, hahahaha

"Well I never became what you would call a "real climber", but I did transfer to Ravenswood as soon as possible I continue to climb poorly to this day. "
Kevin, I figured if any thread would make you post this would be the one. And while we all appreciate your humbleness, you were, and stil are, one hell of a climber. I'm sure Pat would agree.
You earned the right to hang with the Big dogs.

Bill and I used to play together as kids when I lived in Menlo Park on Sherman Ave. I moved and later began to rock climb. I heard about this guy who was a real yosemite climber named Bill Price and wondered if it was the same guy. I eventually ran into him in yose when I used to hang out with Yerian. It was the same guy, and he actually remembered me. Wow. A real "down to earth" guy with a great smile and a big heart. Cheers, Bill.

Had the privilige of climbing with lud a month ago. Besides bouldering I hadn't been on the sharp end in forever. So, of course day 2 is on Power Dome. Kevin was a sport and took over the leads when I threatened to throw up. Guess I looked serious.
I was at Kevins's wedding and met Diegelman(nice guy)-but didn't meet Bill Price.Bummer. He obviously left a mark on some other talented people

Werner,
I remember that rescue well. It was a really fun time, the helicopter ride up and all, and happily, nobody was hurt. But at the end of the day, it turned out to be a pretty frightening experience. Thunderstorms were approaching as you and Kauk went down, and the group on top tending ropes, who I remember included Mike Graham and Sibylle Hechtyl, started to get very scared as dark clouds and stray bolts seemed to gather in a circle around Halfdome, which had one clear patch of sky directly overhead.
As we were hauling up the belay ropes, we all started noticing our hair standing on end and then a mild buzzing noise in our ears. This seemed amusing until it suddenly dawned on us that this was probably a prelude to a strike and from then on we tended the ropes as flat as possible on the naked summit. I remember that if you lowered your head about a foot, the buzzing would go away and we all tried to stay below this invisible ceiling. All I could think about were the signs posted on the summit, which said something like, “If you see any thunderclouds on the horizon, go down. People are frequently killed by lighting on Halfdome.”
The helicopter was an old Bell, the kind with the bubble cockpit. It was so underpowered that it had to switchback to gain altitude and it held only two passengers, seated on each side of the pilot. So it took many trips to get everyone down and Mike and I drew the last flight. I remember the silence and the lonely feeling as the chopper left. We tried to make ourselves very small, lying on ropes on the vast, flat summit. It started raining and the minutes dragged on as we waited, expecting that at any time the fatal strike would hit. Finally, we heard it approaching, then the helicopter rose over the South face and landed a few yards from us. We sprinted and jumped in, as glad to get on board as in those photos of the last flight out of Saigon.
The pilot took off before we even had our seat belts on and then I forgot all about the fear of lightning as I saw what was coming. We were skimming along about 10 feet high, and heading directly for the abyss of the Northwest face! I thought to myself, “ This is going to be good” and I was not disappointed. In slow motion, we approached the edge and then the bottom dropped out.As I watched that incredible face retreat behind me, the helicopter canted left and dove sharply down toward the valley. I will never forget it.

Would love to know what Bill is up to these days. Super guy and great climber - a natural, one of the few I ever saw.
Ask Bill about the pick up he had covered in shingles -- that all flew off. Angie and the kids are world-class.

Funny, I missed this thread first time around. Bill was an awesome climbing partner and friend. He’s the most naturally gifted crack climber I’ve ever seen. When I first met him he and his Jr. High buddies were nailing a 5.8 sandstone crack at our local bouldering area, Rattlesnake Rock and I started getting real intense with them for doing it…ya know it was just after Galen and Doug’s National Geographic clean ascent of Half Dome. He just sheepishly looked back, didn’t say a word. Fast forward 3 months he’s now in my high school and we became best buds.
Bouldering with Bill was at times comical. He really didn’t dig it all that much and rarely put any effort into it (in his early days) but then he’d pull off a test piece that we’d been working on for months totally out of the blue. Put a rope and rack on the boy, it was a whole different story. He could hang in there and place those crummy old hexes like nobody's business.

A very young Bill Price on our winter ascent of the Prow. Bill was 15, I think.
Thanks for all who risked their lives on that rescue. Ricky, your story of coming off the dome in the chopper puts things into perspective. That was a grim situation for us.

Daryl Hatten convinced Bill and Boris ( surname? ) "big wally" to come to Canada around 1979
I think his name was Mike Boris. I climbed with him a bit when he was up at Squamish with Bill. Mostly he seemed to go by Big Wally, though. Kind of similar to Darryl.

"You have to set the hook..." LOL! I think I forgot the hooks. I might need to re-rack and go at it again.
Seriously I think Bill knows about the Taco stand but like I said he's a man of few words.
Mike Borris, aka "Big Wally" is indeed alive and well. Last I heard he and Bill were working together. It was Mike who first scouted Cosmic Debris and Born Under a Bad Sign. He's a great guy.

I climbed in the Valley in the Fall of 1977 arriving from England. I somehow met Bill and stayed on the rescue site. I had just turned 21 and Bill was seventeen (Bill mentioned that he had first climbed the Nose age 15). I had had an aborted attempt on the Nose and Bill very generously suggested we could climb it together. This was analogous to a run of the mill athlete (Colin) going running with Sebastian Coe (a British Olympic Gold Medal winner). Despite Bill's evident ability ( taking excursions to the 'Burner' and doing everything free that had been done at the time) I was so impressed with his maturity, emotional poise and containment. He gently goaded me about the slowness of my aid climbing, and did say he would climb with me again so long as it wasn't an aid climb.
I recently telephoned Bill (2005) and spoke with him for the first time since we climbed together. Bill said to look him up if I ever came to California again. Unfortunately I now do not have his contact details and I intend to contact him when I come to Yosemite in Fall of 2011. So If you read this Bill or someone who could forward his e-mail address I would very much appreciate it.
My climb with Bill will remain a lasting and cherished memory. I would like nothing better than to go climbing with him again and reconnect to the very best in American climbing and its people.
Yours gratefully

I clearly remember when teenagers Bill (Dave, Kurt and Augie) arrived in the Valley from the Santa Clara Valley in 78 and proceeded to blow things apart as they hangdogged (and redpointed) many of the testpieces (Butterballs, Fish Crack, Phoenix, etc, etc, etc) that thwarted the rest of us.
Those boys were unaffected by existing paradigms, and refused to believe they couldn’t do the hardest routes of the time.
The low-key Bill was the king of cool, and he’s probably still climbing hard today.

Bill and I had recently retreated from Mammoth Terraces where we spent several days pinned down in a snowstorm. Being a true innovator, Bill had hauled along his massive 8-track tape boom box for fixing pitches. Sadly though, it hopelessly consumed our favorite Emerson, Lake, and Palmer tape, and then, someone stole it out of his car in El Cap Meadow!
The telescope had been repurposed from my early interest in astronomy to scouting routes in Yosemite. It lived on the back seat of my '65 Mustang while not is use. At the moment I snapped the photo, Mike Boris was explaining to the rest of us, "Who needs a topo when you can see the placement."
