Dood you are right on the $$$$$!
That was at White's "House-warming" party.
Burton showed up too and it was a gas!
He really worked his ass off building his re-tirement home - it is beautiful with all kinds of special White effects in the woodwork etc.
Oh yeah Phil Birdcheff drove up with CC too!
Rick S - you can do it!!!

Here another of Timmy.
We hiked in to Vogelsang and put up a couple of routes on Fletcher Pk back in 1973 back in 1973-74? Linda B was working at the HS Camp and supplied us with treats in the evening -what a sweetie. Anyway I saw in the Secor guide that someone had climbed both of them and re-named and bolted them - Modesto Surfer? and/or something. Oh well.
Timmy was the real deal. Took CC and me on our first 5.10 NW Face of Lambert an amazing evening running off the top with lightening striking all around, buzzing biners standing away from you on the rack etc. Classic!

Nita!
Absolutely, that is Mr Bill. First person I met in my first year in the Valley that had climbed El Cap. So relaxed and easy going. He talked to us (Liza and me) and kinda made us feel we might someday be able to do it too!
I remember we met at Manure Pile when you could drive right up to the rock. He had his VW van parked there inches from After 7!!!
Funny.
I've got some more.

Am I mistaken or does Billy have lens covers on his binocs? He may well have been the worst of all the Camp 4 cooks. Garlic soup and 2-ton cakes. I'd rather scrounge from Mathis any day.
