A Yosemite Climbers' Museum could have an entire wing devoted to him:

I'm not sure if I have posted this before. Walt and I smoking hash through an ice screw at Snell's Field in Chamonix, 1984.

We found a piece of window screen, and the ice screw was the only pipe available on short notice. Hash was common, but weed was nowhere to be found. I guess it is too bulky to smuggle or something.

Thanks for the story DF. You'll always have those college memories with Walt at Fresno State. So many tales. One that stands out to me was when he outran the cops at very high speed on his motorcycle on the freeway. Classic Walt animated storytelling.

Miss him so much. Seems like yesterday in Camp 4. Still can't believe he's gone. Expletive, expletive!

hey there say, ... a childhood friend, from our neighborhood, recently mentioned his climbing time, with walt...

and me, i like to learn new things and read up, on the old stuff that i learn
here, too...

well, after seeing his share, i thought i'd come peek in here and bump it
up, too... for anyone else...
