In the mid-70s, Leslie and I lived in this trailer in Eldorado Springs. It was old even back
then, and was still there when I rode through last summer (though somewhat transmogrified).
Coolest thing about it was that we could see the Naked Edge out our living room window.

Hey wait a minute...
Brassy Nuts: did you just Photoshop tinker that picture of yourself?
I looked at that a half hour ago and totally missed that leg action.
No tequila involved on my part.
Fess up!

Brassnuts, nice pic. You're footloose right below the spot where I set that final sling
belay off of bongs. Funny how some recollections stay so sharp, when I've forgotten so
much else through the years.
Caylor, life's amazing! Can you take the same photo today and post that?

Every increment of the post counter I click this thread waiting for The definitive video of the moves for TNE... I know Brassy and Crimpie have had a talk about this... come on, don't be shy! this site is all about beta... you could cut a moves video and provide the most detailed beta of any climb yet!
What'll it take to see the video!

I think Jeff Lowe and Mark Wilford climbed it in Cloudwalker. It's been awhile, but I believe the footage is of Mark on the slot pitch, then Jeff in the handcrack. Kind of a cool movie.

Holy Buckets Chiloe!
1969...that is too cool. That's about 6 years before I ever heard of the thing, but your tales of Steve pointing you onto the aid pitch/rope drag/lack of gear/wind, sure took me home to the early goldline aid days on the big cliffs at Smith Rock.
At least I was THERE before it was on the famous international circuit!

That round things out nicely!
There's like 2° of separation in our community, tops.
Caylor & Chiloe living in the same trailer, 40 years apart.
40 ... YEARS!!!
And as Chiloe and I discussed in an earlier thread,
I grew up on the same street his grandmother lived on, Miramonte Street in Sierra Madre California.

That's so cool! Looks more civilized now with the yard and deck and wood siding. And you've
upgraded the windows I see. The trees are 35 years older, but the electrical mast on the roof
stayed the same.
Place used to rattle, when winds blew down the canyon. We loved walking up the
road by starlight.

It is pretty amazing. This new internets era opens up all sorts of connections you'd
never make the old ways.

We'll save 'em some scrolling. And here's our youthful selves looking over that fence
in the summer of '75.
