If you don't donate a dime, how will you ever pull on a dime?
Mike Graham on, well, it's pretty obvious...

Always wondered what led to a name like Arpa Carpa. Nice little historical tidbit.
The far left isn't half bad, Arpa Carpa, Wild West, Wild Women, Wild Gazongas. Most people probably don't make it that far left. Too bad.

Jeez, Ed, maybe you should reconsider your thread title (add the word rock). I was preparing myself for something much more greusome . . .

Quiz time, don't DQ yourself by looking at the internet or a guide...
1. Name 4 routes that are still aid. Don't include Double Exposure as it has a free start.
2. What activity was in vogue for many years, shortly after crossing the stream (up), or shortly before crossing the stream (down).
3. Name three routes that utilize a tree to get started.
4. What route has the longest name?
5. What activity was in vogue for many years in Humber Park?
6. Name four routes where Tom Gilje was a member of the FA.
7. What was the reason for the working name "Smoke Detectors Save Lives"? What was the route ultimately named when it was completed?
8. Name ten routes, 5.10 or harder that have been free soloed. Probably no definitive list here, so it'll be interesting to see what pops up.
9. What tree "object" was visible for a few years. Near the Weeping Wall hang.
10. What route was done ahead of its time in 1971? Who drilled the psycho bolt?
11. Who was the falling climber that hit his head and swallowed his tongue? Who was the climber that had the presence of mind to fish the wiggly worm out, thereby probably saving a life? Bonus: what was the name of the route?
12. This is visible from the south face on a really clear day.
13. Complete this early 80's saying: "Ho man, there I was, * * *, * * *, didn't know what I was gonna do".
14. What "object(s)" started at the roads end, but somehow mysteriously rolled down to near the stream crossing. How did DE get them down there (haha)?
15. Identify the two bolts that long held the distinction of being the most notorious spinners.

That trivia quiz looks good! Deserves a thread of it's own?
#2, has to be sparking up
#5 is it a mundane answer, like bouldering?

#2, Haha, that answer is probably still in vogue. The activity was stopped by actions of the water district.
#5, Not bouldering, far more serious consequences.

I know a some...
1. Forest Lawn and I'm pretty sure there's one or two left on Eagle Pinnacle.
2. Safety stops...?
3. Johnny Quest (to start the stemming corner); It's been a couple years but doesn't Serpentine start on that oak tree?
8. Johnny Quest (Clark for sure), 10K Gold (heard Bob G did it), Insomnia, the Pirate, Frustration
12. The Pacific ocean
That's all I have without cheating.

Forest Lawn and I can't think of anything else on Suicide
2. What activity was in vogue for many years, shortly after crossing the stream (up), or shortly before crossing the stream (down).
Bivying
3. Name three routes that utilize a tree to get started. Flower?
7. What was the reason for the working name "Smoke Detectors Save Lives"? What was the route ultimately named when it was completed? A knob the size and shape of a smoke detector was "lassoed" (lead rope was "looped" over it, to provide protection.
8. Name ten routes, 5.10 or harder that have been free soloed. Probably no definitive list here, so it'll be interesting to see what pops up. Revelation, Sundance, Ten Karot Gold, Pink Royd, Hesitation, come to mind.
9. What tree "object" was visible for a few years. Near the Weeping Wall hang. Remnants of the tree that got chopped during rock fall back in early 1990s.
14. What "object(s)" started at the roads end, but somehow mysteriously rolled down to near the stream crossing. How did DE get them down there (haha)? two water tanks. I don't think de was solely responsible for rolling them down on their side. For a long time prior to their moving, everyone used to throw rocks at them to hear the loud noise they would make.
15. Identify the two bolts that long held the distinction of being the most notorious spinners. Rebolting Development is one.
Without cheating or devoting the entire morning, this is my best guess. Unlike some of us, I freely admit to a failing memory.

1. Forest Lawn and I'm pretty sure there's one or two left on Eagle Pinnacle. Yeap, good enough. 50% there, Forest Lawn and Baby Eagle (or some name like that - Fry route on EP.) Still missing two obvious ones.
#4, "Man That Fell To Earth" isn't long enough.
7. A knob the size and shape of a smoke detector was "lassoed" (lead rope was "looped" over it, to provide protection.
Yes. Ultimately to become "Hit It, Ethel"
8. Johnny Quest (Clark for sure), 10K Gold (heard Bob G did it), Insomnia, the Pirate, Frustration
Revelation, Sundance, Ten Karat Gold, Pink Royd, Hesitation, come to mind.
Good progress. I'm thinking RV may have been the first on 10KG though. Who did the Royd - don't remember hearing that.
9. It was some sorta shiny silver metallic sphere hung up in the branches with cords or string, like a giant Xmas ornament or a stray sputnik Close enough. A metallic helium balloon that had drifted into the area and become entangled in a tree.
#10, New Gen is post '71, too late.
12. The Pacific ocean Way close. Looking for something in the PO though.
two water tanks. I don't think de was solely responsible for rolling them down on their side. For a long time prior to their moving, everyone used to throw rocks at them to hear the loud noise they would make. Correct. But, uhmmm... I don't think any of the rest of us could ever have been persuaded to engage in such criminal activity. The preferred method was to make like a hamster in a wheel and stand inside while rolling.
15. Rebolting Development is one Correct. Half way there.
New Gen is Graham/Sorenson. Tony did Race With the Devil, just left of The Gen.
For sure - if people have photos, post 'em up.
