Albee is so inspirational and committed to the proudest line under the ledge.
looking forward to el nino and that new 7'10''
I was meditating on the idea that water shaped the stones that we climb and stones shape the
waves we ride. peace from a beautiful morning in Index, WA

O-Man, is that today with the hurricane passing by? As you can see it's pretty quiet here on the north shore Of Maui at the moment. Forecast is that things are about to change. I am expecting some rain, maybe strong wind, and extreme humidity. Waves should be picking up today but the ocean will probably be a big sloppy mess with the energy too close to generate a clean fetch.

^^^^^^^Hmmmm, that does have a seven sisters vibe to it, but could be any number of rights. The mush factor also brings Puenta Pequena to mind.

John Braxton of HI was attacked by a tiger shark yesterday. Gnarley video; but the dude maintained composure after being hit hard on the left leg. Apparently, the Kapaau man was attacked while spearfishing off the north shore of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Edit; Praying he gets to keep his leg.

Whoa! Tiger sharks are scary scary and he probably never saw it until he was attacked. Good energy for quick recovery.

Was out surfing one day with my buddy when we saw some fins about 10 yards away.
Do you know what a shark looks like?
No.
Let's get out.
OK

Re Rodger Breedlove's old cragging photos.
It has always struck me as interesting that there are so many climber taken photos from the era and earlier.
Contrast with surfing, where the photos appear to mostly have been generated by photographers.
My take is that if a surfer got a hold of a camera, it would be sold for a new board or perhaps other paraphernalia. :)
Surfin' USA .. er .. K38.5 Baja - 1964 (as they say on Youtube, rare)
Roger. I think that part (most) of the difference does in fact turn on money.
Money started chasing surfers around in the early sixties (Bruce Brown, John Severson, Bud Browne ... films), Surfer Magazine photos paid for etc.
Doubtful that climbing ever got the same type of big dollar involvement, right?
Just to be clear, surfers didn't bother much with recording since they knew someone else was (and being "pros" probably doing a better job of it). Climbers made their own history.
Also, my own subjective impression based upon what could be a faulty sample, the population of ne'er-do-wells was (is?) significantly higher among surfers than climbers. Complementary pursuits?
Fronm Tony - K38.5 circa 1966?
Cool Tony!
CV/IB folks are generally credited with colonizing K38.5. My friend Lyle's parents had a trailer just up the road apiece and DC practically lived there.
No Ooli Rock in your photo. The person I always associated with dynamiting it has stated that it wasn't him. Nobody seems to recall. Someone even asked "are you sure it's gone'?
