Well let's just say if Henny is "training".....it don't matter where. Was bouldering yesterday with an old friend of Hennys and a good point was made,
"the guy from the chicken farm, may just well be the best face climber EVER!"
I think Darrel has logged some time in at Woodson, he ain't no slacker there.
Peace

IllusionDweller, yes I am in. Will be there for sure. Here is a pic of Henny training at Rubidoux back in 1980. The problem is called "In My Time of Dimes" 5.11a

I always got a kick out of the good natured rivalry between Woodson and Rubidoux locals. Great fun, exchanging visits and trying to out sandbag each other (ala "10a on the Outside") Course us Rubidoux guys luckily had the head smack talker himself (KP) which freed us from actually having to do anything. Seriously though - Rubidoux is an absolute waste of time for cracks, but the harder face problems are probably adequate to get one in shape for just about anything that's similar.
Figures Powell would try to rat me out, but no, I didn't visit Rubidoux today. Instead I had to work on the tips by doing some Bishop bouldering.
Getting some callous going seemed like the essential first step for the Rubidoux war party raid that's planned on Woodson later this week.
Gaack, those sideburns.

bvb - did you go home? I'm coming down later this week. If you're there through the new year I'd be up for getting shown around.
BTW - That was a typo by KP, the Dimes is 10a. Would it really be Santee 10c...?

Can't wait to meet Darrell Hensel and many others...it's been a long time since the contests back in '86 and '90 where when every corner you took there was activity to be seen or heard up on the hillside.
You know, as much as a good number of climbers prefer to be loners or to be out of the limelight, there are those that want to meet the climbers that did make it onto center stage or even those that didn't but whose names were bragged on about by their peers! I'm speaking for myself as well, for I always wanted to get better with my skills and what better way to do that than to watch or be in the tutealage of someone with more experience than yourself. The kids today are no different than we were. For this reason, I wanted to invite the "kids" up there with us "back in the day" crew so they could walk up a trail and around the manzanita to watch one of us climb or just to meet and hear our stories from back then... or even humble us with their strong skills!
I brag on and become animated about some of your names in this forum to this day to these kids! Can you imagine the excitement that it'll bring, or has already brought to them that they just might be able to meet one of you? Even if you were "nothing", like myself, they, like I, would love to hear your stories. I brought a young climber, Mike, with me the other day when I was looking for BVB and Beehay. We ended up running into John with his girlfriend Melissa, and Chas then continued walking up and over the summit to continue searching. I kept appologizing to Mike for we were doing nothing but hiking instead of climbing. As a matter of fact, the one climb, California Night, that we did do/try was above Mike's ability and he just sat and watched. His comment was, "That's okay, I enjoy meeting climbers who have more experience than myself and watching them for I can learn alot and they have a lot to say." This is the way I was and can probably guess that more than a few of us were as well.
I hope you don't mind that I'm encouraging the kids to be there. It's becoming their mountain/scene now and it'll be up to us to pass down our stories to them so they can say, "Hey, I remember the 2010 Woodson Shindig / 1986 - 90 Reunion when I had a chance to talk and climb with a lot of the "back in the day" guys that we always heard about!
Why don't I encourage you "back in the day" guys/gals to bring a "youngster", whether it's your own or not, with you to the event?!

Gosh, I hope I didn't kill this thread!
I/we will be posting camping and hotel arrangements shortly but for now, let's see a raise of hands from those that live down here with land, and in the area, that can provide onsite camping for those that attend or can provide a room for those attending and if so, how many and what arrangements? For those already doing so, bless you!

DARN IT, I DID IT AGAIN! GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I JUST KICKED THE FOOTSTOOL IN FRONT OF MY COUCH AGAIN AND I COULD SWEAR I WAS GOING TO LOOK DOWN AND SEE IT BENT NINETY DEGREES AGAIN! UNBELIEVABLE!
I did this about a year ago and busted the third toe on my left foot and it was terrible, especially being a climber! I got almost diaphoretic again, with the same excruciating pain and chills that I was begging (while lying prone on the couch with my face in my hands) that it wasn't going to be the same toe/injury! But I'm happy (sort of) to report that it was the fourth toe this time, still in alignment, but swelling with black and blue, from the second digit to the tip of the toe, as we speak. I had just pissed my wife off too and this followed shortly thereafter (I'm convinced it wasn't a coincidence). I don't want to imagine what it's going to be like putting a pair of climbing shoes on yet alone climbing on it! Unbelievable! I'm still in though for at least a hike up the mountain with ya Darrell when you're in town (shaking my head in despair).
