looks like Raker in the last photo. No Hat Rack visible, so I can't be sure. Anyone confirm?
Peace

Ron, of course that's the Rake. Not much doubt about that. I'm wondering if the picture is staged though. It's hard to comprehend that he could go long enough to do a toprope without stopping to eat something. So maybe the absence of food in the picture does cast some doubt on who it really is.

Henny, thanks. Raker's in China right now, got to talk with him as he was out the door on his way. Great guy.
Peace
When is the gathering?? Trying to be there again, if Prebble carts the beers up again in his cooler on wheels!

Hey Greg, I'm sure I read earlier that Jonathan couldn't recall, for sure, if it was Starving or Digits Delight that he soloed, but I don't see it now.

The "Hat Rack" got his name from the bulge on the other side. I have a photo but have to refrain from posting here out of respect for Raker.
Peace

He soloed both of them. After many TR's. I put down "maybe it was DD" because i thought perhaps i had embarresed him. Humble dood.

No, I never soloed Starving in Stereo, I think Rick Piggot did. I soloed a bunch of other things there.

Truthdweller,
Digits was one of the ones that was on my solo training circuit. I was at Woodson about nine months ago and toproped Digits - wow, it hard. After years of gym, sport climbing and domestication and not to mention 15 lbs heavier it seems that I am not in my top crack shape anymore.

I am pretty convinced that I managed to lose my grigri on the hill a couple weeks ago. If anybody found or finds it, I'd like to get it back. Thanks.
