Yeah bob.
Steve- I contemplated that jump....
That's me and your friend Mrs. Ghost on Thunderhead Spire.
It's an awesome little guy that would get climbed every day if it were in the parking lot like Hitchcock. I'm glad it's not.
I didn't remember that zone at all- hadn't been there since my earliest climbing days.
That's why I wanted to go back, for some easy stars.
We had done Rabbit Tracks and Jambrosia and I was like "Mari, we ain't leavin' without doing that lil spire!" I was happy to lead and enjoyed it but my height challenged partner and her friend found it difficult.

An amusing sidelight to that shot of Ray is that someone directly ripped it off for a pack advertisement and put a different head on it. I am not sure if they ever contacted Peter Noebels but it was blatant.

saw this 1983 photo posted by Crunch a few pages back of the Right Trinity Crack at the Oak Creek Canyon Overlook
thought it looked familiar and so I dug around some and found this:
a few feet higher, but the same stem-and-jam affair. Funny but I think the year was also 1983 as I'm still wearing EBs

Weird. Always seemed like the right trinity was the hardest. Gives me the heebee jeebees thinkin' about soloing it. Isaiah was more my speed.
Fun to see a picture of Ray! Good guy; used to climb with him a fair bit.
Anybody remember the spring Yosemite trip ('78?) when the Arizona contingent all got cheap, tacky aloha shirts from goodwill and wore them in the Valley?

Checking that place out back when only a handful of routes had been climbed was pretty dreamy although the flash flood debris twenty feet up was rather sobering...
Watch the weather closely when you go there.

If you are fond of gneiss climbing it is hard to beat Windy Point for hidden character.
So many distinct crags and towers to explore and revisit.
Are the anchors still out on the lip on Thunderhead Spire?

This is actually a screen grab but really shows well the starting dyno to a sloper/fingerlock on Twist of Fate in the Ultimates

Paul Davidson and Steve Grossman are two of the stoutest leaders I've ever seen.
