FRITZ.... upthread, you posted a pic with some young men, Cris and Stein holding little round cans. Were they full of ashes?

Thanks for asking, Gnome.

I was recruited by Jim Kolocotronis for the FA of Welcome to the Gunks.

I thought it was in '72 but the guide says '73, so make that 24(a guess) and 41 years ago. The photo is either from the years we lived in Toronto, '87-'91, or a time I drove up from Long Island on a visit to my wife's family.

I do not know who the climber in the photo is.

Ho man MH2
That is Peter Darmi!,
He was the oldest climber in the crew in the late '80s and '90s.when he turned fifty!
A big # to those just arriving at the big three zero. From the shoes I would say it must have been the Mid '80s not later than '87?!
((the shoes were sticky but delaminated, came unglued in the car ect.))
He is a NYC/Hollywood recording engineer and did very well for himself.
That said he had some quirks like all of us and lost a great wife for not growing up, and not for, as he told it,for climbing to much.((She later married a Waugh, Mike ? I think it was))
Edit;
The man would know what he was climbing! so it is Welcome To The Gunks!!
Not Laughing Man. ( that is the flake /roof behind him back past the small corner.)
The picture shows the start and first two cruxes of the still spicey
Welcome To The Gunks!
(proud for you to have been on the FA of that one!), If you led the critical cruxes it is your route lets protest....... the authors got all sorts of stuff wrong!
good on you the wroof is tuff stuff!!
(He hated the nickname)
so I will not use it, Jim K. was a hero to me. I was and still am, a hook on my harness fan!
(sshhh don't tell any one!)
If J Kolocotronis is still kicking it around here that would be fun as I was always chasing routes that he had done first.

Many thanks, Gnome. When I asked the man in red he told me it was Welcome to the Gunks. I could not be sure from looking, having been away from the area for too long. If I had climbed it that day I could have ID'd the roof, though. It was me who led that on the FA with Jim belaying, but it is his route.
