Seems we had more beer than climbing, but good partner , whatever the endeavor!

Eric seemed to be able to maintain humor in the face of adversity...
He actually climbed ice instead of talking about it.
funny route names.
only one indiscretion i can think of. But we laughed about that also.

My brother was a rock climber from Tujunga and erik lived with him. I met him when I was about fourteen and that guy was so much cooler to hang out with than my brother half the time. Told me about growing up as a scout, how his dad was the pack leader or whatever you call the guy that guides them and is older, "point leader", f*#k I don't know. Anyway, the dude almost became the highest scout or received some very final scout thing, Point of Light, Boyscout Nebula Award, another thing I don't know. But he almost achieved it but then was so caught up in climbing that he realized he didn't need the scouts to climb and walked away from it, or had a falling out with his pops about it because he smoked or some sh#t and said "f*#k it." It was something I admired, not bending to someone elses will, being your own person, and saying f*#k materialism in a sense, kind of punk rock I guess. In my young rebellious mind, it was the perfect influential tale. For some reason it was so easy to relate to Erik, he was surprising, not condescending at all, and funny. Like he told me he liked the geto boys, which turned me onto geto boys. Scarface forever. Willie D is like an African American Charles Dickens. He taught me how to smoke a roach down to nothing with just your bare fingers. Told me he enjoyed eight ball malt liquor. I always wonder about him, he has climbed el capitan more times then I have had birthdays I'm sure, and all of these other routes that are well known amongst people who don't climb, then all the rest of this sh#t you'd only know if you climbed. Like the dudes already been there, several times already, but never was bragadocious in how he described these accomplishments. He reminds of Fred Beckey, or probably the closest I will ever come to meeting someone as astounding as Fred Beckey. I want to just tell him hi; him, Jeff Constine, Kelly, Jack Tripper, Junior and even Dave Tidwell. Thanks for helping shape my formative years and for putting up with me out climbing, I was a whiner.
