Triple EEE-ONK-EEE Grug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just read that thread. Had to go the basement and dip into my winter heroin-laced-with-Jim Beam stash in order to settle my nerves. Are you having nightmares? Been climbing since? How's the lower back and forearm? I HATE loose rock and will remember to bring my Chouinard crow bar if I ever go to the Black. Were you wearing a helmet? Is that why you decided to fall head first?

You should take a vacation and come to Central Oregon. We will give you cookies and milk. Big Hug Buddy! Duke #30

Pass the heroin laced Jim Beam please. If there's any left. That gives me the hee-mee jee-meeze too. Hey your pretty durable. Grug, a young friend of mine asks me "Is that guy your age?!" Creeeeeepy!!

PX- Glad to be of service. I should mention that Bruce pre-approved using his name in that story, so he doth protest too much.
Bruce- I don’t think you’re cursed or disgraced for the encounter with the nuns; I sensed they enjoyed it, too. For everything there is a season, even a time for flirtation with nuns.

Phantom: It is indeed CREEPY to contemplate fifty-year old Cameron Allzeimer patients torpedoing down deep rocky canyons head first. I couldn't sleep- afraid one might land on me.

Rick... (sigh) leave it to a lawyer to finesse your way out of that one. Come to my defense!!! Challenge Phantom X to a Rosary Bead contest. Don't let Grug crash the contest--he's got hidden skills.

Yes, I know... I need to go to Woodson and solo "Mother Superior" for my pennance. Can I have a spotter, a non Catholic one preferably?

Listen up chumps: What took place with the peaches is between the nuns and I. It was good for them.

And it was good for me!

I'll accept DUMB but not CREEPY.

Probably give Sistine Reality another go in the spring - maybe with Leonatd Coyne. By that time, I will have forgotten about the whole nasty incident. See, there's an upside to this whole (lack of) memory thing.

That's the thing about creepieness. It is a form of terror.

And the reverse can also be said, that terror is a form of creepieness.(I have no writers beard) What does Grug know? He doesn't even have a yeller streak up his back! He's a mutant! Leave this to the experts.

Phantom X: I just read the Chris Mac annual report and we're in trouble!

Anyway, maybe I can conclude this last bit by saying Viva Greg Cameron, one of the best all-around rockclimbers and greatest guys I have ever known, much less have had the privilege to climb with, as can say Phantom X, who taught Greg everything.

I honestly can't accept any credit for learnin him anything. He however taught me a song. It's called "Hail, Hail, O'Cameron". He would make me sing it whenever I made him haul me up difficult terrain.

What a great thread to see resurrected. Did not see it first time around. I have a couple of choice PMB nuggets to contribute. My favorite involves a encounter with the Canadian Contingent and some of the Poway crew as Watusi and I, n00bs to the bone, were preparing to go do the East Butt of Middle....I'll post up when I'm ready to take a break from packing.

Lawd knows we can always use a good story BVB!
Prep that sucker for launch baby. The ramps are greased ...

 Then there was the Lake Perris area analog to the PMB, namely the BRB (Big Rock Boys).

Not my place to hold forth on that group: DIMES could line us out on 'em though.
(Prolly' no mention of the BRB in thread below, no doubt a Kevin Powell-ism, referring to himself, his brother and others unknown to me).

Big Rock: a little history (another delightful historical thread, in which the mythical Roy Naaz made a recent contribution)

Big Rock can hardly compare with the Poway range. At least that is what Steve House told me.

This is such a great thread for the PMBs and early Mt Woodson history. Where else can someone find this stuff? Nowhere else. Only ST.

Sooooo Classic.

I’ve got to find the story of Royal Robbins free climbing “Robbins Crack” on Mt Woodson.


Found it!!!
