not really a Camp 4 event, but it should have been. When I saw the large plastic trashcan full of everclear punch, I know this would be a party to remember, though its still very blurry.

This was in the early '80s and I was in the Valley with my GF Lisa and a friend Cathy. We'd been craging for a few weeks and we're about to head back ot Colorado when we ran in to Todd Skinner and Paul Piana, friends we knew from Laramie and Veedauwoo. On our last day we decided to cook pancakes so we busted out our Svea 123s and Todd produced some of his family's 138 year old sourdough starter. We cooked cakes all morning and I think, fed most of Camp 4. We didn't have real frying pans. The cakes were cooked in the lids of our Sigg pots and I think every one of them had a burned spot in the middle. Check this guy out: He's eating a 'cake out of his frisbee and his spoon is tied to his coffee cup.
What I remember most however, is that Todd and my GF hooked up and Cathy and I drove home alone.
Anyone recognize the guy with the frisbee?

"She's living in L.A., with my best ol' ex friend Ray."
Ain't it the way?

Throwpie, the photo captioned "EB's and a swami belt. This is Chris someone. I think." on the first page looks very much like Randy Hamm.

My wife was leaning against the car in the Camp 4 lot in the early 80's and she felt it rocking like I was pushing it for a joke, turns around and no one was there. Then she heard the boulders crashing down the Sentinal gullies. It was a major earthquake.

I was just in a reminiscent mood and thought to check and see if there were any additions since last I looked at this site. Thanks TC, Sybille and especially, Gypsy. Also visible in the photo of Andy Cox's wake are the brothers Bierchieff in the rear left and James Wright who, with George Myers, was with Andy in King's Canyon.
Andy, Mike White, Ron Kagel, Drone Stevens and I did a moonlit ascent of After Six one inebriated winter evening. I don't remember whose car nor who was driving, but we went around the loop the wrong way, no headlights. Eerie, scary and quite beautiful.

Ron Burgner-Camp 4, 1973 or so.
Burgner was a badass Northwest climber and a friend and regular climbing partner of Jim Madsen.
