the best beanfest story i ever heard involved a brit who took mushrooms for the first time, threw all his clothes and his passport into the bonfire, then locked himself in todd skinner's van and proceeded to trash it....anyone who was there care to tell that story first hand?
and then there was the traditional stunt of trying to get as many people on top of a huge 20' boulder right in camp, using very sketchy techniques...in '85 i was up there and the whole crowd of us (about 20 -25 people) lost balance and almost went over the side...oe of the scariest moments of my climbing life!

Bob Van Belle!
Do ya remember the slightly overweight brit, who after pounding a slew of beers proceeded to flash routes like Butterballs, Hotline and several other test-pieces in the early 80's?
I forget the fellers name, but he did freak some of us Californians out a bit with his mellow, non-egotistical attitude and out of shape looking body as he onsighted many of our test-pieces with ease.

JJ- now there is a man with a nose for adventure! One of Tucson's finest.
The Englishman's Night! Remember it well. Have to think twice about spinning that yarn though I reckon the continental in question never wandered down that dark alley again.... or did he?!?
The call to risk it all upon the pebble of tradition begins with a slow but rising chant, "We have a Problem, We need People!"
And Roy- there's a Beanfest in your future!

Speaking of regional rivalries, I think that this infamous picture that Chris Mac just posted on the Stonemasters picture thread, shows the the "toasted" Cali boys in the canyon of their rival Eldo Prancers.

The Bay Area vs. the rest of California.
I have non-climbing friends that ask me why the Bay Area is the climbing police! Haha non-climbers even recognize that!
