Is that light the end of the tunnel or a train?

That's a great photo of Greg and Ken on the north rim after their send of Scenic Cruise.
Here's one of Ken and I in the same place back in the 80's after doing ether the Cruise or Scenic Cruise. I forget which.

Pretty high up there for still in the sunshine Grug! I think I've always been in the shade by that point.
And uh, no. Philo.

Sheesh, I'm getting the Black Canyon Jones's. It starts like this for me...and there's only one cure. Vedauwoo is "fun", and it's amazing how maybe 300 feet of climbing can work you. But it's not the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. That's my holy place.

The season is upon us! Although I have a non-ambitious agenda planned for next week, I'm still a teensy bit nervous.

I wonder how much Grug had to pay for that bearpaw enhancement. But damn if those things aren't twice the mitts of mine - and mine immediately got the "oooh, my girlfriend wishes I had fingers that thick" thing from my 300lb lesbian co-worker

Missed this post, Philo. Very nice! Love that last drawing. Beautiful. I've been getting flabby. Going to the gym, or Boulder Canyon, or even Eldorado isn't gonna do it for me. I need a Black Canyon fix. But first, let's say 10,000 Seal Jacks. An inspiring story would be nice.

Pics are great but I really love scary stories too.
That drawing is beautiful, reminiscent of Van Gogh, Starry Night
never much liked his posting style but a very talented guy

Like those last pics! Here's my girl, who loves hanging out with me at the Black.
This is some of what she does apparently while waiting for me to climb out of the canyon.

Nice Bob! Cheap Hooker?
We snuck down to the Crystal Vision and Blackjack last week.... no real stories to report, I'm afraid.
Well, maybe one. We decide to haul the packs for the P6 'fists roof' (which turned out to be NBD hands) on Crystalvision.... so homie in the lead trails the line, which the second had been trailing until this point. Maybe 90' up I watch the end of the trail line lift off the ledge and frantically yell up for him to wait up! Turns out the line had been mysteriously chopped, I guess by rockfall, somewhere beneath this point. So somewhere down there is about 110' of blue trail line waiting for the next party to come along...sorry folks.

No photos in my possession, but in between storms I got in a 14 hour push of Astrodog, on May 25th, with my friends Timmy O Neil and Dave Chewy. A 24 hour flu bug made it a bit spicier than it would have been normally, but it rained like hell the next day, so any bile on the wall was washed away quickly.
I'm with Jim, the Black rules!

Just thought I would bump this with a picture from the wayback machine (early to mid 70's) of some of the Black's finest dirtbags.
