Here's a scan of the Toula topo... so i'm guessing it's out there to the right of #5 - Sine Language (love that route!).
Jaybrah - come on over, we'll hit the Forks!

Well, I went looking for the Forks but found these classic shots in the old slide box.
The unflappable Randy Mettler on the second pitch of Thin Slice at Granite Mountain. I listed this route as an area classic on Cmac's 100+ classics thread.
The Tim and Paul show on some fingery affair. Mount Eldon, Gloria's Rocks???
The ever fashionable and commercially sponsored Pablo Cruz on the FA of Let's Make a Deal on What's My Line Dome in the Stronghold!

SG- you're pretty damn good at changing the subject now that we're all fixated on "Shot"!!!
Left or right of Sine Language?
Who knew?!

Which route is #5? I have photos of that one someplace.
The line of A Shot in the Dark shown above looks correct. It is a pretty obvious line, just no pro.

Cool, #5 is Sine Language as Steel pointed out above. Man that was a fun one!
Somebody throw a toprope on that pup and let's see if it is reasonable which would confirm where the Shot came from.

Bump for another email from Bonnie:
Hi,
I just returned from a trip to find your email waiting. My apologies, apparently I gave you incorrect information. When I made the database from Bob's climbing diaries we checked and rechecked to look for errors. We didn't find them all. After reading the note on ST about the 30th being a Wednesday I checked the original diary entry. Bob had written 12-26. That wasn't a Sunday either. The actual date must have been December 27th as that WAS a Sunday. He gives the date for their Shiprock North Summit as 12-30. His early climbing diaries were put together from memory, a few records and some correspondence. There were many ommisions and dates were nearly impossible to reconstruct. But it is possible to pinpoint this one because we know Yvon missed the climb because he went to Mass. I thought you might enjoy seeing Bob's diary entry for an earlier trip to Oak Creek with Don Wilson, his climbing mentor.

While you are talking old school, here's a little Kamps tidbit from Summit April 1960.

Cheers to PE and The Doctor - may we find many more adventures together soon, my friends.

Anyone toprope A Shot in the Dark yet?
My previous post mentions Bob Kamps next route which presumably is The Mace?!? It certainly overhangs on all sides...LOL

It was hot in Winslow. My friend had lost a dog for way to long for that sweet pup. We didn't rope climb at all. A little water soloing and there's this new crazy gizmo at the reservoir.
from past photos.... Winslow a place full of beauty
I know there was a thread about this but I'm just going to do it here........0
