Oh come on E! The place is a choss pile... north, south, east, or west it's all junk.

I giggle when I think about the fact that I'm back in this state. I was up on Mt. Lemmon Sunday.

Come on down and visit and keep me company!

As a friend in the North cascades once said:

"Fine climbing for anyone not offended by loose rock."

Then I came up with "Chossaneering"

Fun, fun, fun!

You got a place yet down there? The Doctor and I, (and maybe Pennsylenvy) may come down for a visit...

Oh yes! The Superstitions!!!
I am wriggling in ecstasy.

Yes Jay: Paradise Forks is a no-brainer.
But, por moi, that was before "the problem" surfaced.

And shoot, then there's the matter of the Stronghold...

Fig bouldering in the Cochise Stronghold.

Dave Baker and I at the base of Cripple Creek on the Pharaoh, early seventies.

Sparsely protected bridging on the FA of Devoid which starts from the north end of the Inner Passage and summits on Chay Desa Tsay. This wild route comes out of the notch shown below on the left and climbs the steep headwall to finish.



Photo from Backcountry Rockclimbing in Southern Arizona, 1991.

..must turn away,
before S-monk,
and others,
draw me back in...
left forever (more or less) in '92.
But I've only been to isolation once,
and it was a new century,
It wouldn't hurt just to go back,
a little
would it?

And while I was there, I could...







Whatever happened to Fig?
