Some really nice additions! Keep em coming y'all!



Found this one over the weekend, going back soon..


It's about 25' long starts with hands and pinches down(first 12 feet or so, to that small boulder)

it then flares open for the next 12 or so feet, while the landing slopes down...pretty sweet, though the pics don't do it justice...more to follow...

Sorry, here they are, one of them had some weird lines around the edges I wanted to crop. Gee, remember the “old days”, getting photos developed.

Whoa man, a compliment on my photos from Tkingsbury, I am NOT WORTHY!!

Some very inspiring photos in this thread.

Forgot about the Dockin's Roof...first done in the mid 80s...Out in some obscure area in the Boulder Batholith...Mojede and I found it after getting some details from Bill...though it was pretty late in the day when we actually found it...


It's actually the finger crack on the left...Mojede checks out the center OW line...

Nicole on Big Bobs is a gem. 25' of grinder fist to hands, then an insecure deep fist finish at the lip. I did it first try w/ D Griff & Dave Tucker in '86/87. That pic doesn't show the crack all that well though, any others? Potter on Heaven is awesome! What about A dogs Roof, any pics? Couldn't do the dam thing, Same grade as Separate Reality, felt 2 grades harder.

Pat/Can't Say,
Didn't you say--in a long-lost thread--that you had old Shawn Curtis photos of "It Don't Mean a Thing Without that Swing"? Post up if you can find them. They'd be a real treat.

Marty..I think I do..but truthfully, it's been so long and more then a few moves, I am not sure where they are..but I'll do a deligent search for them and see if I can find them. But Dean might have them too as he was culling Shawns photos for forgotten gems.
