BVB, I'm digging what yer laying down, just saying if the drive to the valley was as bad, it would be empty. Plus the fire f*#ked up some killer camping and fried the boulders. Terrible place. Stay away.

I stashed some zoom zooms at the horn back in 2000? Thought I'd be back... but then it burned, so no point really.

If more people knew the whole story, that fire would go down in history as the most profound tragedy in American climbing since Hetch Hetchy.

Every single time I went back to Font it just seemed to get chossier and chossier and chossier. What a pile. I'd way rather go to Stony.

BITD it never remotely crossed my mind that anyone would climb that crap
on the Seward Hwy. Way way BITD we were heading for Whitney (from Seattle)
and saw these cliffs outside Bend. We pulled over for a few minutes.
