Bob, Bill is my father-in-law, Werner was my brother-in-law ('til their divorce), and Riley is my wife. How 'bout them roots? That makes us like, second cousins thrice removed. I remember the Gunter episode. Fell without his axe, and survived. Bill and I had an epic up there too.

I'm serious you guys. Tar, beebs, Off, 'Tus, Ted, Tom, GK and any other Tajo vets all converge for a ron-dee-voo. Fall would be good. It'll give me time to train. (On the single malts. Ha!)

I'm serious too, I think it's a brilliant idea.
Can you believe this poor lil' boulder is now closed to climbing?

closed my ass.
every time i go to san diego i poach the pink boulder and trash rock, plus those routes up the hillside from trash rock. the traverse on the backside of the pink boulder is still one of the best BP's in san diego, and the "north face directissima" problem on trash rock, just left of birtly's seam, is solidly embedded in my top-ten all-time desert island boulder problems list. those last two moves, with your feet on dimes, stretching for that wierd pocket, looking at a 16 foot slapper into poison oak...whhoEEEE it don't get no better than that!
now, trust me, i just HATE breakin' rules (wink wink, nudge nudge) but i learned how to boulder on those two nuggets, and if i couldn't climb on those boulders ever again i'd feel like i'd lost a limb or something.

Tar, did you ever meet Ana Walters in Nederland? 5'10" blond swedish ski model/Massuese, equal parts Audrey Hepburn and Gwynith Paltrow? You'd remember her.

Wow, someone's Cantina just vanished. Perhaps it was just a dream and figment of my imagination? Looked like a nice time in CT.
I hope CT can remain more or less a secret among friends. I know there are many who know how to get there. I would hate for CT to ever get published in any kind of guide. Are you listening DK?
Someone described it as a "Poorman's Patagonia." So true. My wedding Bach. party was held there way back in '91. I would love to see a reunion of sorts for the SMs, and PMBs, and CT veterans of sorts take place at CT. That would be awesome. Probably the only place such a get-together like that could really happen. As long as the place isn't burned down. Lot's to do in Baja. Love it. Even XC skied some in winter on top of the Sierra San Pedro Martir(sp?) near Picacho Del Diablo. I've been up "Del Diablo," would like to do the class 5 SW ridge sometime.
Have my recently acquired (new for me) cherry '87 VW Vanagon Westfalia "Syncro" all ready for such an adventure. Some time I would love to launch my paraglider off of the GWT and fly it to Laguna S. or beyond. Need to do some of the big walls for sure. Haven't yet.

Tar,
Sorta been expectin' some H Brown photos to appear on this thread and there they are. Takes me back, not as far, but a nice chalk bag to say the least. And as to the Coyne form, probably looks better doing it her way than most straight in.
best,
un autre

Funny, where I'm from there were no cracks and laybacking was raised to a high art form; we (incorrectly) always thought and viewed crack climbing as a pretty cro-magnon affair all about simply "doing" routes that were obvious rather than "seeing" and climbing routes that are not. We didn't appreciate the inherent art involved with the "doing". Hell, we even laybacked Supremacy in Eldo. In the end it was our loss and it's been an long ugly process trying to right those initial misperceptions and lack of exposure.

I yanked the Cantina link. The address doesn't end with .jpg so I guess I can't post the pic here. Point is, there will be no shortage of distilled spirits. The trick is not to disable yourself for climbing on Sunday.
P.S. I have not mastered this trick yet. Best I could do was a crack of noon start.
Haven't seen Curley in years, down there or otherwise, but I know he's around. Juan Maderita spends a lot of time there, and has taken care of the place extremely well.

You May have invented Post Its, But I put em where no man has gone before... (there, that should get me in some water...)
Hey Leroy:
Its Cultural Anthropology, Bra.
Like, Surfer Talk, Duh. When they don't say Dude, they Say Bra, 'Dig Bro? But surely you jest and I get hit up on this one amazingly infrequently.
On one of the Med Threads recently, two gals hit me on the "Wow Bra" Phrase.
This is what I gave 'em to Ogle.
The Wow Bra:
One of the Gals Really Liked it and Suggested Fish Bring Back the Shirt: "I feel Naked Without Fish Gear on My Rack"
The other hasn't Spoken to me Since, 'Least not in Cyberville.
OK Leroy?
[All others please excuse the repetion on this post-up pin-up.]
