we never had time to bother with cameras back then
It's a shame
I have no photos of any climbing from the 70s

it was all about going as light and as unencumbered in any way as possible

I hear that Craig. Cameras and headlamps are sooooo much better these days.

Good story Frank ...I don't remember meeting Richard Harrison but his name always seemed to be on many of the first ascent lists at Tahquitz and Suicide..An unkown legend...? .Sounds like he lived a full life and then some..Hope his daughter is doing okay...?

Jeff,

Thanks for posting the shots of Richard at Rubidoux in the early seventies! It's just a little hill, but we all managed to have what seemed like grand adventures there.

In November, there was a fine memorial for Richard held in Blue Diamond. Family and friends gathered to tell tales and remember Richard and Tina.
Rob Muir, Mike Graham, John Long and me represented the So Cal crew.

Great to meet some of Richard’s climbing partners in Vegas, such as Nick Nordblum, Sal Mamusia, Paul Van Betten, and to hear stories from the Adventure Punk days in Vegas.

Learned at the memorial that Richard apparently died of a heart problem; family and friends still reeling from the loss.

Remembering Richard this afternoon, a little over a year after he died.

I visited Lisa in Nevada last spring and got a chance to talk with her over lunch in a small casino. She is resilient and strong, a chip off the old hardman.

There are a lot more Richard stories out there; let's hear 'em.

Hello all,

I hadn't checked this is well over a year. It was really nice to see some new pictures I hadn't seen before and hear some new stories. Thanks for adding on to them. It's always nice to learn more about my dad. He was always so stoked for the future and the next adventure I never heard much about the ones I wasn't apart of.
