I was right next tp Miller when he shot the pics of Tobin and Mike on Insomnia.
It was a bit of a circus,and Mike and Tobin were getting a bit frustrated with the photo directions ect. Classic!!!!

Hensel, YES WAY! Arcie Farcie. High Speed Top Rope. Actually my notes call it "Russian Speed Climbing."

There were a bunch of people there and we kept doing laps and the time fell and fell until DT did the unbeatable at 42 SECONDS!

No handholds or footholds were used, just high speed paddleing.

Picture Usain Bolt in the 100 or Vincenzo Nibali riding the cobbles in the TDF. OK, that could be a slight exaggeration but not the :42.


June 1983.

With The Troll on the Sunshine Face in the late afternoon, I can't tell if it's Sundance or Valhalla. Swami, Edelrid, hip belay and EB's.

Some poor fool on Insomnia.

My first 5 routes at Suicide were Passtime, Superfluous Bolt, Revelations, Blown Out and Bye Gully.

Drove up with Mike Graham, Matt Cox and Ed Lasley. We also climbed with E and Bill Squires March 1974. I was a junior in high school.

There is a funny story behind the Passtime ascent which I may or may not tell.

rj, I'll have to think about it for a couple of days to get it right. Somewhere else I wrote it up. I think I know where.

What was that Mike Graham thread called about going back with his son to climb some Suicide classics?

De.... so cool that you had that "dear diary" deal going.

I had all that stuff stored in my MEMORY....

I think it crashed a few times in 1982....

I have a box of prints buried someplace, I will try to get to it.

I know what you mean Guy!

Mr. Hensel sir, I just dug through my main stash of old slides and can't find Ishi. I did find some cool old stuff though. Will try the scanner.

When I first saw this thread, "Suicide Photos," I avoided it.

It wasn't Suicide Rock that came to mind.

so i was climbing sundance last weekend and found a brand new fixe bolt which someone has placed next to bomber gear. actually its higher than the gear making it better protection.
Bud couch wouldnt be happy as its really pathetic
who fired in that bolt? its the second one off the ledge now and the only big protection bolt on the route

oh and did'nt clip it.

Was there a hanger on that 2nd bolt? Bolts added to routes will get chopped as long as I'm still climbing there. But I am just a weekend warrior.

Anyone know about the patched 3/8" hole about 10' below the last bolt on Winter Solstice?
