Gaston Rebuffat - reading his stuff helped kindle the fire.
Ricardo Cassin - ditto.
Jerry Gallwas - He started me when he was about 18 and I was about 20 in San Diego, in the Navy.
Gary Hemming - part of the same SD crowd. Always a bit crazy. We used to see who could lead climbs
at Tahquitz with the least protection until I started to realize my mortality. I don't think he ever did.
Royal - showed us what could be done at Tahquitz.
Al Steck - a distant hero in those days.
Joe Fitschen - loved his attitude. Still do.
TM Herbert - you gotta love the guy.
Chuck Pratt - him too.
Harding. Of course.
Mark Powell - a force to be reckoned with.
Lots more.

Lisi Roig - She took me climbing for the first time.
Michael Kennedy - Lisi bought a copy of Climbing that day. I probably still have it.
Steve Roper - I bought a copy of Camp 4 soon after to learn about climbing history.
John Long - I bought a copy of 'How to rock climb' to figure out just what the hell I was doing!
Mark Gruey - My brother and primary climbing partner for the first 5 years or more. The perfect partner. He was too scared to lead!
Royal Robbins - He lead the way for countless climbers. I was given a copy of 'Advanced Rockcraft' after I had been climbing for quite some time. It seemed cute. John Long had, by then, set my techniques in place.
Warren Harding - For showing me I can do what ever the hell I want!
Peter Croft - Seeing him solo 'Sea of holds' when I had just started climbing blew my mind! I would much later learn the art and value of soloing.
Lynn Hill - For being Lynn Hill
Michael Lechlinski - For countless tours of climbs, climbing areas and living history!
Have I mentioned lately how much I love climbing?!?
