Think he is in Bend Oregon right now. I know he knows of this thread. He *promised* he'd start posting. C'mon Jim...

Now we can welcome Jim.
Hi Jim, I see that you are signing up for the July sushi fest. I am checking my calendar. It has been a long time.
All the best, Roger

Jim, one of my friends, did one of the first, or maybe THE first, 5.12 in the Valley. He told me all about it in a phone call four years ago. Jim, do you remember some good times with me in Eldorado?

Since I posted that pic of Jim and the Devil, I figured I owed it to him to post this pic I shot on Saturday at Angela and MonkEs wedding. Hell. It's almost his 10th anneversary!

Welcome Jim! We met about 30 years ago in Leavenworth Washington. Remember Stan at Der Sportsman?
A little late in the welcome!

Jim,
Tell your wife that Anastasia said hi and that I will never ever in my life forget her. She is such a fantastic woman! I am truly in awe of her.

Whoa! I missed this post in March. Thanks for all of the kind remarks that I don't deserve. I occasionally post a reply but have never started a thread. I'll get my wife, who isn't a Luddite, to teach me how.

Welcome Jim! It was great to meet you at Indian creek this winter during susi-popsicle-fest. Still trying to locate that story my Dad, Mike Borghoff wrote about the trip to the Tetons with you...
I'll drop you a line when I find it.
Welcome aboard, Erik Wolfe

And those are only in the Valley.
What about his first ascents in Patagonia and
other mountain ranges around the world. . .
and in the sandstone of Utah. . .ad infititum
He's certainly someone I look up to!

That Basketcase story alone was worth the price of admission.
I love having the pros around here....
