Note that the Driver has his arm in a sling in those party pics...
that was from the infamous fall off of Pink Royd at Stoney Point... he pitches, puts his arm out behind him, and dislocates the thing... no worries though. Jack Roberts (rip) was there and kept insisting he could fix him right up by pulling on it. Driver was like "fuk that" and went to the hospital instead.

Driver's bouldering fall at Stoney Point. That was actually the 1st time I'd met him. Late '78 or early '79.
And ya..Jack was enthusiastically working the arm to no avail...
I was not with you guys at the ER. Wasn't one of the nurses Yaniro's Mom?
You talking about the day the Driver smacked his elbow and we met Yaniro's mom at the clinic afterward, Jeff? Of course you are.
Quite the coincidence that Jack and I met the Yaniro mom as a consequence of Greg's crash.
I don't remember much about his actual fall. Happens fast, you know. I caught his thumping out of the corner of my eye. Tony's mother was pretty cute! A talker, too.
Jack drove us there in his yellow Datsun B 210. Who else was hangin'? I can't quite remember. Maybe just you sending us off to the clinic. There was only room for three.

Remember the day swelly and have similar pics, now deleted.... check the shoes on the belayer and the white chalk bag belt... dolt bag? That could be a key as to who it is. I’ll check the archives

Yo Bros! Thanks for the comments on Washoe. He was The King for a long time.
No other dog could touch him.

Leave it to Fish to work out what sounds translate into vibrations snakes can understand. Cleary he's a genius!

Too Much Of Everything Is Just Enough
After partying all night & a beer for breakfast
I had a seizure in front of Mike Paul (Watusi) & the whole crew
late fall; early November '81?
Still shakin here bosss!
Wasn't safe to go solo into the realm back then
Kieth Burkett was a savior introduced me to Big Mike I was small
I trailed around with Big Al & Katie Wilkinson,
( Like the razor blade company, remember the sound in the ads of swords clashing?)
FROG had brought me down from the Ditch,
BvB gnew my bodacious Red headed sister
She lived in Santa Monica, I hung out there a bit.
Gonzo took me in 'winter '84?
Buy yourself an Atom Smasher Deluxe
Still the best deal going; out of a hundred sacks on the market
& 'cause it has Deluxe in the name, everyone wants that...

Washoe ruled. I'll never forget the night he hung tough on our MTB ride from HV to Desert Queen mine.
