I just sent Steve my old set of Leeper Z's. I got some nice new stuff I'm making good use of in return. It's great to see the old historical stuff being conserved. Keep up the great work Steve..!

My appreciation comes through the form of Steigers"Sabino Canyon And Mount Lemmon Highway " guidebook.Back in 83 and 84,5 we seeked out SG routes and MM routes ( Mike McEwen). These routes delivered adventure , boldness and the unknown. My pants were filled on more than one occasion! Damn you guys were good... Thank you

Before getting hammered with wrong dates I must include that my climbing partner(Bob Jacobs) professed in knowing and attending High school with said Author John Steiger and having access to the famous "Summit Hut" journal , or shall we say " black ops route book", ( my emphasis) . All in all Mt Lemmon was and still is one cool "Sky Island".

Thanks for the Stoke Folks!
I have so much fun poking around and posting here on the ST and seeing what comes of it.
John Steiger, Bob Jacobs and I went to the Valley long ago to get schooled in the art of crack climbing. We battled our way around and I rode home to Tucson with stone bruises on both heels from taking a fifty-footer and ledge striking after flunking the rattley fist section on Midterm.
The fall involved a lot of rope stretch and was held by a chockstone about the size of king-size Snickers bar cut in half and placed sideways!
School of Hard Knocks. I also chose to wear a helmet that one day alone and slammed the back of my head hard once I flipped at the end of the dive.
Curious how important a tiny bit of intuition can sometimes be...
This classic Peter Noebels photo greets me every day at the top of the stairs.
The FA of Steve's Arete on a toprope WBITD. Now a fun lead route with a couple of bolts. The yoga of ancient stone...

I can think of no one who is contributing more climbing history than Steve. He's making ST a richer, more meaningful ... and friendly... place to be...

We have lots of heroes in climbing, especially on aid.
Thanks again, STeverino, for what you know and sharing it.
Sgt. STeve "Rock" Grossman in the recent epochal battle of the Iron Wars, sometimes called The Potato Masher Raid, sometimes called Operation Rim Fire.
Quite a lot up to which to live.
He makes it look "Easy."
Tha's ma boy, running to the danger!

Great shot of the FA of Steve's Arête, Steve!
It was my first 5.11.
Here's a friend on the most photo'd climb in Arizona.
Thanks for all the great routes and necky leads here in Tucson. It's cool to have the opportunity to follow in your footsteps(although I'm not that dumb anymore!).
Also, thanks for bringing together all those original southern Arizona climbers for the Heart of Stone gathering. Good stuff!

Thumbs up for Steve! He pioneered some great climbs and now he's keeping the fire burning so that we don't forget others who blazed the trail.
