in regards to UP and the '86 contest...
i had moved back to SD from the San Fernando Valley area where I had been working to go back to SDSU and pretty much quit climbing around Spring of '83. around fall of '85/spring of '86 i ran into this guy at school who wanted to learn how to climb and started meeting him over at santee a couple times a week. so after viewing the contest at woodson later that spring we shifted our focus from primarily face climbing at santee to cracks, etc. at woodson. like i said, i only tr'd UP one time and don't recall much. but i do recall the contest, and i'm pretty damn sure that UP was given more points than both 10d on the outside & i will die for you(or whatever it's called). at the time i felt that i will die for you was a sandbag(due to the low amount of points afforded it in comparison)and how i couldn't get more than one move off the ground on it that morning(first time i tried it). as did at least one fairly well known climber(who was obviously much better than myself). anybody recall the points given to those three probs during the contest? i was way out of shape anyway and still climbing in eb's at that point, so i cud be mistaken. i did get back into it pretty seriously but never tried UP again.
the dood i introduced to climbing got really good at woodson. i witnessed him solo starving in sterio & widows bereft. but that was after we had spent many days working on them. he went on to swing leads with scott cosgrove on the rostrum during the summer of '87, about one year after i first took him to santee. he also onsighted butterballs(coz belayed him)that same week. his name is jonathan spurgion...maybe someone knows him.
edit: i meant '86 contest & Spring '83/'86, knott '73/'76, etc.!!

Hi All! This is Jonathan. I am still alive! Is there some sort of Woodson get-together soon?
Splitter: gosh, I fit some of your history. I guess you mean me. I did onsite Butterballs (after watching videos of Jonny Woodward). I swung leads on the Rostrum, but that was with the "Schnyd" not Cosgrove. I sort of soloed Widow Bereft because the girl, who was belaying me, was feeding slack for the TR instead of taking it in as I was ascending! I had a romantic attraction to her before that trip but afterwards figured she was not really the one.

I think it's pretty cool that dialogue from the '86 contest is resurfacing...I knew there had to be more out there considering the turnout that year. Speaking of, here are two more from '86 that were hiding in the San Diego Reader's website:
5.9/5.10 face on Tower #2...
Traverse into the 5.11 crack on the Marshmallow Tower...
