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.

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
