is it long ago and far away enough?Do we have any need to hear that chapter of a gifted geniuss' story.
He could have been helped to achieve more, maybe greatness,
if that community had been less dick-centric.
I know some of the story that your Question speaks to. (and have forgotten a lot)
That his climbing feats still go unreported is unforgivable. That is the way it is, for many though.
(He along with D Lahnman & J Stern sent V10? in the late '80's)
Lets try and speak to his art or climbing,not that sad chapter.
Although it is decades ago many who can never know the whole story,
will judge the man on that bad information.
Your first ascents should also be recognized!!
Did you keep any notes or pictures ?
The picture of Bev in her prime is that anywhere that you recognize?
Cheers, man.
and I hope that you and yours are well.

Inverted Layback in 1975.
Back then it was rated only 5.8. ;-)
Edit... I think the Robbins boots made it 5.9.
