Marlow - nutstory - Dingus Milktoast: Thanks for the props!
I am a happy spiritual guy who most of the time is running around acting like a giddy teenage girl, but no kidding, at Patagonia corporate almost everybody I shook hands with was just as Giddy as me. It was that noticeable, and it continually felt welcoming! Props to the Patagonia staff!
I redid a bunch of the Chouinard display boards which I will share before the Chouinard display moves to Patagonia.

I could visualize Hennek and the rest of that old crew in the shop, Marty.
Let me say that the one day I worked cutting spooled Chouinard ropes to length for Tom Frost in the old Iron Works was a memory I'll always treasure and your tour of the shed brought it back vividly.
Keep on having great fun, you kook!

Thanks everybody for your energy!
mouse from merced - While I was at the Patagonia Archives Julio suddenly said to me, "hold on a minute I have to call my Macho Man friend." Once his friend was on the line Julio handed me the phone and it was Dennis Hennek. Dennis verbally gave me props on my Supertopo posts. I am very excited for Val and Terri for the Patagonia/Chouinard history they are preserving, and the many climbing legends that are excited to be a part of it.

I went back through all of my Holubar pitons and made sure all have the Holubar stamp. This is what I have in the museum. I wired the Holubar pitons to clear plexiglass and put them in the new schwag display at the Phoenix Rock Gym.

Marty! Those are awsome photos.
I am amazed that you not only have collected all that iron-ware, but you also identify & date it, catalog & display it.
I suspect you have still more pitons than are in the photos.

Fritz - Thanks! - Yes this photo shows only half of the pitons in the museum. The Holubars are in the display at the rock gym and the Chouinard's are in Ventura, plus the pitons in the bolting display at the gym, and a few more boxes in storage. Plus recently Warren Hardings 1970s rack was just donated. Im thinking my next museum display will be pitons.
:)
 I did include one Dolt piton in the photo

While I was at the American Mountaineering museum in Golden, a few photos were delivered by a unknown person. Sharing celebration photos of Warren Harding and Dean Caldwell on the summit of El Capitan, Yosemite, after making the first ascent of Dawn Wall, aka The Wall of Early Morning Light in November 1970.

A few days after my return from Colorado, Dief the Phoenix Rock Gym owner handed me a box of gear donated by his friend KC......who just happened to be friends with Warren Harding. In the box was some of Hardings rack from the 1970s. Totally awesome! Big THANKS KC!
Since the letter reflects two owners of the gear, I will keep the overall gear together to show Hardings and KCs friendship.
