Thanks for the great TR, Ed Hartouni! I got only a few decent pics. My camera is broken so I had to use my Fire 3 which is iffy!
What a fantastic event. Thanks Mimi and Steve!!! Every young climber should have been there to absorb the unbelievable history of the rock! You missed big time. Not just Yosemite Big Walls, but all over the world. And not just big walls but peaks too.
Friday night we celebrated the life of Tom Frost. Thanks to all who came and spoke to us about an incredibly gifted, humble human being.
And yes the Big Wall Climbers and friends can still Party! :) Saturday night was Fun!
Friendships renewed, new ones made. All around awesome!

Well done Steve and Mimi... Friday’s tribute to, both, Tom and dad was full of love. And agreed, Lynne, the historical content of the weekend was epic.

It hurt me to be in the hospital (hey, literally, it hurted me!) and to miss the event after looking forward to it for so long.
And now, no pix?! Well, life has problems, just like big walls, and there will be more clambakes to come.
But as has been pointed out, each one is special to a great extent. I know some of the presenters from this one and sure would have liked hearing their stories and TAKING THEIR PICTURES. (Too bad, Lynnie, about your camera. Hope you can get it fixed.)
Steverino and Mimi, sorry to have missed this one, your gigs are always FUN and inspiring. Thanks for the efforts and the love.

Mouse - there were plenty of pics being taken!! Perhaps many are still traveling- or recovering - for instance mom and I both slept till 10 this morn! I’ll post the shot I took of speakers (I was supposed to be in it but didn’t realize it till after due to the absurdity of my being in that group 😅)

Hi, Tamara! How's the "attitude?" Did you see Ken Yager? How 'bout the size of that chicken? :0)
I really dig Whitmore's grin. Too bad Wayne Merry wasn't around.

Ha! Mouse, the attitude is great even though not on fire lately.... I passed a Fireball semi on my way to the Bay Area last week and nearly crashed trying to flag it down (joking!) (about nearly crashing)...
Yager was around all weekend!
Word is that quite a party occurred on Saturday night/Sunday morning, but I swear I had nothing to do with it. Ask Lynne. ;)
Oh and as for that chicken.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=rT4UmxqoFt4
Ron G, lets get together sometime in the next 5 weeks while I'm down that way? I'd like to check out Woodson....

OK! Howdy all. Just arrived home. Most of my pictures are sub par, but I will post them if it's all we have. The composition isn't bad, they are just weird grainy.
Here are several pictures with quite a few of the presenters and ad hoc speakers.
From left to right:(?) Ken Bouche, Don Lauria, Russ McLean, Chris Jones, Bob Swift, Joe Fitschen, in back Steve Grossman, Jim McCarthy, back is Glen Denny and Eric Beck.

Ken sang it Saturday night at the party I was most honored of pretty much any party in my life to attend.

Friday Evening included speakers honoring Tom Frost and Royal Robbins. Mimi De Gravelle-Grossman, who with Steve made this event happen, is one of my favorite human beings!!!
Ron Kauk, Don Lauria and Yvon Chouinard pictured with "H" also gave a wonderful tribute to Royal and Tom. Thank you Guys!
