Dave & Marge have a great sense of humor:
Dave was one of the FA dudes of Figures on a Landscape.
So then much later, along with Marge, a route they did was named "Boogers on a Lampshade"
Way to funny.

Wow, thanks you guys!! I bow down to all of you, mentors, cohorts and associates. I'm not worthy.
Margy came up with the name "Boogers on a Lampshade." A perfect name for a perfect route!
ps. I have a $50 helmet now!

Yah Dave never said much but always cranked whatever ya had going. Good guy and a great climber.
Hey I remember 7th heaven, I climbed it with MP and Todd Gordon and this dude Ian and another guy. Ian led the crux pitch. Man that was back in EB's and we had 5 guys standing on this little dike in a semi hanging belay at the top. I ended up last to go and it was dark and freezing ass by the time I finally got to bail....Thoses were the days - now I know that when its time to bail a wise man bogarts right in front and raps first - hell with group decisions.
I saw Ian at roubidoux about a year later and he was so lovesick and pussywhipped i wanted to euthanize him. Wonder if the poor guy recovered.

Ron;....our friend Ian,...never recovered;.....He got married, had a kid, got divorced, got re-married, got divorced, gained abour 80 lbs., doesn't climb anymore;....he sure cranked during the day, didn't he?....as for Dave Evans;.....he's The Bull, The Beast, The Hawk, The Ghost, aint' he? I learned alot from both Ian and DEE.....they taught me that to be a climber, you must climb your ass off;.....any free momment you have, you climb.....rain , shine, sleet , snow... climb.....
