Hey Guys,
BVB & BEEHAY--Hope you guys are well. Great catching up on the latest scoop about everyone. In all, things are hanging well (and when i'm out climbing, I still hang as much as I ever did).
In all, things are great. Living in New Hampshire now, but visiting Survival here in New Mexico. Had a 20 year layoff from climbing, but always fun to get on and touch the stone. Great to hear stuff about San Diego too! Much more fun grinding away skin cells on real stone vs. that plastic stuff anyday (plus, I don't have to get bitched at when I touch something with the wrong colored tape).
BEEHAY--heard you and Dan C. are hardcore mountain bikers these days? BTW: what's Tom Scott and Paul Dowdy up to? What's the best way to get in touch with them?
FROG- Great thread!

Survival,
TS is here and doing well...still cranking. PD has been living above Colorado Springs in Woodland Park for many years. His back isn't doing so well so he don't rock climb no more, and his peak bagging days are slowing down, but he's still skiing. i hook up with him at least once a year for some powder runs or hill climbs.

drljefe,
your best bet is to plot your gps grid,
and zip line in off a helo
full tactical, spectrashields up
the brush may fight back,
if your team gets hit, don't
fool around - fall back,
get on the sat phone,
and call for a helo evac
sick sh#t out there
so, don't rule out
a bag and tag sar ops
emphasis on the "bag"
good luck

nada

Too cool Off White!
Much appreciated :-)
memories...
Kevin, bad news.
the slide/neg tray for the scanner
and the usb cable
are AWOL
repeat AWOL
looks like they defected...
dang it!
heavy straffing revealed no sign of life
mission aborted.
how bout we take up a small
donation, snail mail to you and
get this mission accomplished.
seems to me a small price considering
all the film you shot, not to mention
raw cost of all the routes, etc.
its your call :-)
Ray
EDIT: Off White - how come Dinasaur rock
looks so low angle now???
thanx again.

Doug,
I KNEW that was Galen in the middle of the 1st shot, 2nd shot confirmed, funny sh!t.
Mark,
Curly and I make many a twenty something cry for mommy when they try to ride with us. Mt Biking is a great compliment to climbing; technique, commitment, line selection, strength.
Climb with Tom S a few times a year, still going strong.
Haven't seen Paul D in decades.

Lets move from the inland empire closer to the coast. This is Boomer Beach, a chossy beach bouldering area, but loaded with charm. I'm sure all these routes, shot in the late seventies, have eroded away.

Kevin, that new stuff looks dreamy. I'd love to see some of your old stuff scanned up. I usually squeak in a Boomer visit anytime I'm in SD, the ambiance is great.
Climbers in those shots are mostly Galen Kirkwood or Bob VanBelle, with one shot of Frank Noble, the curly dark hair on a roof.
