Nice ole stories. It is crazy how things can change so quickly with a pile o rocks. It brings people together to B.S. and slow down a little. Something that a lot of people need to do....including myself

Thanks Ron, this is a great thread. Hudon and Jones were the cutting edge guys back then and i'd love to see more of there stuff.

Most of the time we didn't have a camera out there. For one, I remember the first time Roland Arsons visited Donner Summit and on sight soloed most of the 5.10's at Snowshed's.......dosing no less.

Kurt and JB did some amazing stuff that eluded documentation. There has got to be more stuff out there just sitting and gathering dust.

Ding ding ding. Across from OOTD. Put up my first routes there in "poor style"...... 3 days of hanging cleaning out cracks before I would even consider putting pro in.

I think there are close to 20 routes that can be found in this pic so far

Been there, and wasn't thinking it looked like an egg............certainly would be a subject of conversation in your backyard.Hmm.....The crack climbs in the slab right next to that bouilder, not in the picture, are a great place to take a first time trad leader to learn to set pro.

Lakeview Slab in Washoe Valley, btw.

Looks like Bear River Res, but I doubt it.

Al Swanson. One of those names that seems to pop up every once in a while after leading some balls out route and looking in the back of the guidebook to see who did the F.A.

Found some fixed squares of metal in a couple cracks up by high energy wall. Have one in my "holy sh#t what were they thinking pile" of climbing metal...
