No apology necessary Cybele, as I was clueless to the bust reference. ('was nice to meet you at the JT reunion, if I have your ID correct BTW).

-Clan Nardsen, nothing more than churlish invective (boyish grab ass), you know, like black sheep of clan 'erickson or whatever paired to any of numerous nicknames we threw around 25 years ago.

Bill is my Hero too...
I once kicked him off my couch and out of the house for doing too many bongs with Pottenger, go figure, what a hypocrite I was!

We have presided over some silly times together, like the time I told Waugh he could put his proposed pulled out bolts of "my" route up his butt!

In fact, just about anyone I climbed with (or talked trash with) from the 70's or 80's who still pulls down hard is my hero.

I signed up on photobucket & loaded some pics on it but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to show up here on S.T. What am I doing wrong? I tried to drag the images to this box but nothing happens. I tried to save the images as a desktop item but a dialog box cautioned me that it would do something that didn't soud right so I cancelled. What is the secret here?

He can even be coaxed onto a bike from time to time.

Riding, or should I say, hoofing it on the backside of Mt. Gleason w/ Mari and Mo

Congrats
Is E like one of the best all around climbers ever to come from southern Cal?
Onsites 5.12+, A5, WI6, and has summited an 8,000 meter peak.
If he got off the pipe, he could be a Patagonia climbing ambassador and give up his day job.

This has been going on for quite some time.

Dave Evans once said, "Hey I've been around and I can say E is one of the best thin face climbers in North America".

Well that's almost embarrasing to E I'm sure: so we used to trot that out for fun. But you started it AKDOG so I had to chime in.

Funny thing is, it was pretty close to the truth back in '78 when it was said.

Here's E sniffing out a hook while cleaning the groovy arch pitch.

One bivy we received an annoying drip from up high so we had to set up the fly at night.

A reachy hook on the False Ace In Space A3+ This is where the old RURP belay used to be.

Nice golden rock on the groovy arch

That's it for tonight.

Hook or Book:

Here's what I think is an original Bird Beak I cleaned on the last nailing pitch

Here I'm leading the real Ace In Space pitch, A4. You continue out the seam right and hook up the grey rock you see up & right.

Steel like rock up high on the Peruvian Flakes, out of the diorite now & back into granite.

Tommy, thanks for the tips, now I got things figured out. Not a fixed rope on the Hook or Book. There's a horozontal hooking section that goes across the wall from a rivet to a section of 3 equalized heads where you hook for about 50 feet with no pro. I'm using a Stratos rope so it may look kinda fat. It also looks like I'm moving into an offwidth crack but that feature is hundreds of feet off to my right.
