Raydog. You should come to the ST gathering this Thursday evening at the Southern Sun (by Neptunes - see Front Range Freaqhz Gathering thread). Would love to see you.

Big Head say:

Well, I think that was the name, you showed it to me. It's down in the lower end of the valley somewhere, on the North side of things. I think it was the same day you, me, and the Troll did Gripper. Some one pitch 5.10- sort of hand & finger crack. I recall it as pretty fun.
Galen is up here in Washington. Rather than splash his details across the net, he'd probably prefer that I shoot you his email privately if you wanna chat him up. Life is good though.
Also, if you haven't been lurking here long, you may not have made the connection that Watusi = Michael Paul. Mike, you must be trolling, it seems inconceivable that anyone would meet you once, much less over a span of years, and not remember you.

Ray, Tom Scott showed me one of yours out at Deerhorn, and I couldn't get my feet off the ground. But I never forgot the name: The ABC's of Nazi Dentistry. That was yours right?

Hi John,
Dick Cilley and John Allen did that (and named it) - I showed them the area and what had not - or could not - be done at the time. There was this other thing, The LBJ Memorial, I named it, put in the anchors and I think Cilley did it.
My feeling at the time was that it did no good to leave these things unclimbed and so I invited others who were better than I to come down and climb. It was in this way that Dan Michaels and Alan Watts helped to contribute - there is also a bond of friendship between myself and all of those guys to this day.

Cracks me up how this little TR thread has morphed into a meeting place for old Woodson and San Diego climbers. Nice to hear from you Jeff.
Ray - It looks like I'll be there between 5:30 and 6:00. Also Rick Accommazzo (I wonder just how many sets of double letters are actually in his name?), Tim Stitch, Tarbuster, and a few others you may or may not know.
