The "guys from Philli" were actually two Hungarians living in Philli at the time of the climbs, back in Hungary now. Oscar and his girlfriend whose name I can't spell, but she only follows so I believe they did some of those walls as three with another Hungarian partner. I hung out with Oscar and his girlfriend a few years ago in the Valley.

bump just to get current stuff back on the front page.
By the way, who the f*#k went through and deleted all their posts and caused all these old posts to be bumped to the head of the forum?

Al Dude you are badass. Those routes back there are stellar. Did one of the 5.11's back there (by Morris?) on the far right side of Watkins. Saw so much potential on that face for the hardmen like you.
cheers

Oh Please Mr Trango - I'm nothing more than a washed up Slab Sherrif and belayer to the stars. Now Autobahn,that's worthy. Steve says Continental is still unrepeated - and raves about it's quality. This is embarrasing but can somebody tell me how to remove this edit button - Noob

Gulf Stream was Wally (Barker?) I believe.
Kalous had the 3rd.
Chris Kalous did the 2nd of Bermuda Dunes for sure(to answer the above ?)
I think he also did the 2nd on Horse chute??
He did several 2nd and 3rd's....

Wally and Chris did it after a bunch of guys! Those guys did like 6 and 7th maybe on Gulfstream. You are tellin me Horse Chute was 2nd by Kalous... WTF?!? That is a bit odd sounding!

Aldude,
Sick spray. Bernie said that the Chief free stuff looked burly. Something about some dicey climbing on pitch 11...almost a solo.
Proud Dude.

So Mr. Kalous was a good friend/mentor back in college when I was cutting my teeth on my first El Cap routes. You need to watch your tone in regards to him...he is a PROUD brotha. It would surprise me greatly if he and Kevin beefed up any belays on PSD. As for adding holes, I would say absolutely out of the question. He was about as ethicaly "pure" a climber as I have ever known. He never even fixed pitches. He also climbs hard 5.13, and has been developing proud ground up free routes in the Ghost Riveer last I heard. Don't mean to preach, but have some reverance. He lead every pitch but one on Bermuda Dunes, and most of Scorched Earth.
What are your claims to fame Mr. Death? You ever climb an El Cap route without fixed heads? Mr. Kalous probably did all that stuff before you picked up your first carabiner.
On a different note, I tried to repeat Cont Drift and swear (no joke) that the first pitch gave me my first grey hairs.
Anyhoo, sorry to pipe up, but Chris deserves much bettter than to get slandered by a guy that wears tennis shoes on alpine walls.

Are you a moron? I never slandered him. It is whoever drilled the bat hooks and these retarted machine heads at the belays who I think is the real idiot.
About boots, well that is all my fault. I just go out and climb and in this case made a big mistake.

Ok so I'll edit.....If you looked at my statements they weren't said in an absolute way.....so captain death chill the f*#k out.
As far as Kalous goes....I don't know him anywhere near as well as brent, but I couldn't respect a climber more.

Play nice, kids.
I'm interested in the second ascent list, especially the old routes. Don Lauria was in on the 2nd of the NA, I think.
Sort of interesting, with all the lines sitting around unclimbed, that Robbins and Co. would do early repeats of those routes. Was that just RR keeping tabs on the competition? Checking up on their work?

My memory is sketchy here, but I seem to recall my Reticent partner Sean Easton [not Isaac!] telling me he did the second ascent of KAOS. [I could be wrong...]

Hello Pete,
I believe your buddy Sean must have been mistaken. Rick Lovelace and I thought we got the second on Kaos. We did it not too long after Steve and Dave put it up. I am thinking a month or six weeks afterwards. Rick really wanted to get on it before anyone else.

Yeah, Tommy, I could well be mistaken. Perhaps Sean made the third ascent?
Sorry I missed you this fall for a beer, eh? Catch up with ya in the spring?
Cheers,
