Judging by the total absence of chalk, yeah, Jonny's Shameless "Toast The Locals" Poach Job. I mean, us regulars were so close on that thing! No! Really!!

Trivial move, I just kept cranking into it wrong..!

To be perfectly honest, with the exception of the Poway Mountain Boys, Ray Olsen, Watusi, and Epi, the bulk of Woodson's "signature" climbs were bagged by out-of towners, or guys who lived in San Diego or a year or two at most. I'd mention Amick and Allenby, but my God...instant lifetime demerits for having the temerity to take me to grainy chossfest last-gasp bottom-of-the-barrel rubble-heap buttknuckle bald mantle perversions that I could not do. Of course, they had plenty of beer and it was always cold, so there was peace in Missisipi.

Geller, Leavitt, Leichtfuss, et. al. picked a few plums for sure, but when you get right down to it and look at the roster of classics that got bagged right out from under our perpetually stoned noses by out-of-town interlopers, it's a pretty impressive collective coup. We got robbed, godammit.

Of course, with so much rock to go around we could afford to be generous. Woodson was for touring the vistors around. Deerhorn Valley was private stash!

Woodward Arete is correct.

I don't know bvb, seems to me when I look at who did what that Piggot ranks up there pretty high in the quantity of FA list (as well as the quality of FA.) I don't' know that Donny has stacks of problems to his credit, but he has some gems. Those guys sorta kinda vaugely, in a roundabout way, qualify as locals, wouldn't you say? No?

OK, I've recovered enough that I can finally comment on Ron's last posts. I know everyone is all abuzz (dang, I been wanting to use that word myself) about how you brilliantly besmirched my proudest Woodson FA, but dang dude, you hurt my feelings. Plus, you know how hard it was to drill those bolts? I mean seriously. And Greg, laughing at his mis-guided efforts will only encourage him - nice job.

Gary, please reword that last post for me...

Next: (like I said, cheap camera. sorry)

I think Those are some of the first holds on Uncertainty Principle. Yes?

That would be correct. They are both Uncertainty holds.

Yes, Gary, Hear My Train is correct for that earlier picture.

Oh Please. You're gonna have to do better than this.

Sorry Bob, I deleted my last comment to you for it was lacking any sort of punctuation whatsoever. Let me try again...

Regarding the above quote, I was trying to feel you as to how you intended it, whether it was blatantly obvious, to you, as to what the photo was, or whether you really needed more information. Being how intimately familiar you are with IHMT, I chose the former over the latter.

Yeah, but some probems are just so classic that it doesn't matter if they are easy to id.

There's a well known thin crack near that picture of bvb's. Don't remember the name of that problem though so I guess I'm outta luck.

Grand Central Station, Top Secret File

Mark K, which photo are you referring to? Henny's or mine? That problem I posted has no name, and is right down there at Grand Cenral Station near "The Widow, Bereft" (the well-known crack route Henny was referring to.) So Henny nailed it. The bastard.

Top Secret File was a Dan Leichtfuss route right off the road, down by TV Screen. An extreme smearing problem. Dan's "Top Secret File" is definately not the thing Henny posted; I need to give it a closer look. I;m guessing it's one of the newer microslab climbs that I've never seen, alhtough it does bear a vague resemblance to Starface -- but then, every goddamn slab on Woodson looks like Straface!

OK, for true Woodson locals this next one will be a snap. For occasional interlopers, trespassers, hangers-on, and wannnabes: fuggedaboudit. You don't stand a chance. Hell, I'll even give you a hint. It's somehere between the parking area and Jaws.
