For the uninstructed, the photo is of an obscure Chouinard prototype, which never really amounted to much. A few of them were used in Canada, but they didn't catch on. So nothing to see, move along...
Yeah, pretty much worthless. But it sure is purdy!

Hey Lynnie, looks like Gomez punched your climbing dance card first, but perhaps Ferret and I can get dibs in too. Patience, name of the game, as I'll be couple months out from shoulder surgery and just getting back to it. JT seems to be my recovery spot, was the site of my first post chemo climb.

A lot of you have known Todd for years. I first met him at the Tarbuster fest. I was a stranger, but within five minutes of meeting him on the porch felt like I was with a good friend. Been by the house briefly a few times since.
Andrea has always been incredibly gracious. Cheers to her!

Not to change the subject or anything but....
GORDON FAMILY FUNDRAISER –Joshua Tree, CA
BIG PARTY AT THE GORDON RANCH APRIL 21, 2012
Once again, we are trying to raise some money to fix the roof at THE RANCH, have a memorable party, replace their dead mini-van and more.
EVERYONE IS INVITED! Including Stonemasters, Uplanders, wanna-bes, Sheep Buggerers, those mysterious folk from San Diego, RADs, BGR, Banditos, Valley boys, Euros, Asians, Latinos, American Alpine Clubbers, Mazamas, Vulgarians, Buff Alpine clubbers, Sierra Clubbers, boulderers and even Canadians and Newfoundlanders, not to mention people from Florida. This means you!
In the continuing philanthropic tradition we will be having a giant party at The Gordon residence at 9561 Starr Ln., Joshua Tree, CA on April 21, 2012. This year the main goal will be to do major repairs on the roof of the house at The Gordon Ranch. The brutal Joshua Tree weather and the many visitors have taken a toll on the house. They have one messed up roof with multiple leaks. The roofing crew of motivated locals is already set. We just need money for roofing materials, the party and a new/used mini-van as their old one died just before Christmas.
Most of us know Todd Gordon, AKA "The Mayor of Josh," as one of the most giving humans in the So. Cal. climbing community for the last 30 or so years. Chances are you have stayed at one of Todd's houses more than once while visiting Joshua Tree for it's world famous climbing....or you've climbed one of Todd's many, many classic and not so classic routes.... or maybe he even taught you to climb. I myself have been his guest more times than I can remember. We've showered, pooped, watched TV, camped, used the kitchen etc. there while visiting Todd, his family and our beloved Monument (JTNP).
This party is going to have a rocking band called "Warsaw."
We are also honored to have world traveler Tony Yeary giving a slideshow with digital images from the Cordillera Blanca of Peru to our own awesome Range of Light, the Sierra Nevada.
We are also going to have a silent auction and raffle for some great climbing gear, guide books, collectables, memorabilia and more. Susan Peplow will be in charge of the silent auction and raffle. We will need a couple of volunteers to help with the raffle and auction. To donate or help you may contact her at susanpeplow@hotmail.com and 602-725-3249.
Lynne Leichtfuss has graciously offered to coordinate the food effort, and yes it is a big effort. Last year she and her posse did an incredible job.
She will need several volunteers to help her and will be accepting donations to help pay for the food. You can contact her at 760-749-8774 to help in any way.
SPONSORS INCLUDE- The American Alpine Club and Supertopo.
READ THIS PART! We are looking for cash and material donations. Cash in any amount is good. Material donations should be things that can be sold for cash. I will have a continuing sale/auction as this thread develops.
Please feel free to call or e-mail me regarding any questions you may have about this must attend event.
Cash donations can be Paypaled to me using my e-mail address which is:
