An Allan Bard photo of Dave on their route on Brautigan Dome down the Toulumne River. The Rt was named after author Richard Brautigan.
Ever read any of his stuff?

TC - I thought it was 35 cents. I never had any money back then. Some things never change. For some reason I still have a Forrest hammock (the single point shoulder pincher. I rigged it with some one inch PVC to spread it a bit). Also, that is a GREAT photo of Liza, exactly as I remember her. The pic of Dave Birchieff is wonderful, too.
Rick: I think Brian must have been a wee bit taller, since I'm 5'4" and remember him as towering over me. Not Whillans, though.
I reminded Tom of this story from that time, but think it's more or less suitable for the thread. He and I spent a chemically modified night on Lembert Dome and the next morning went to the grill for some pancakes. He bet we could eat the largest stacks they could produce (those things were GLUTINOUS) and they grilled some oversized units that poured past the edges of the plates. I ate mine, but Tom couldn't finish his and since the bet was free cakes if they were ALL consumed I ate his, too. While he was rolling me back to the rescue site, we encountered Roger Breedlove walking down to the store. 'Roger! What happened to your leg', asked Tom. 'I had polio Tom'. Who asked, in all innocence: 'Last night?' (Hell of an observer that Carter fellow.) Roger used to impress his students at the Mtn School who were often skeptical about his ability to climb by doing some really tough bouldering moves on the way to their (very) easy practice climbs.
Then there was the time...

Whitey-third from the left at a party at his house last fall. As far as how he is: his story-telling hyperbole hasn't diminished an iota....

Tom (Carter),
I'd love to post some pics, but give me a few months, or...? You've hit another of my many faults, organization. The one I really want to find is that of the fire crew with Werner, McKenzie, Bates et al. I'll try to find this sh*t. Cross your fingers and toes but please, don't hold your breath.
As far as Rpbertson's height, I could swear he was at least a couple of inches shorter than I. Being as I've never encounter all that many shorter than I, both guys and gals, I tend to remember this type of thing. And now, due to a recent physical exam, I find I've lost over an inch! There just really aren't all that many reasons to keep on living, climbing (one and the same of course). I won't be able to reach anything.
