A gregarious fellow, always quick with a hearty "berg heil!" when you join him on the ledge.

We settled in to a reverent abidence of all that is tweaked,
As The Oracle BVB Spoke to us in Werd:
"Yeah, now shall ye go forth, commune with the stones & become: SWOULE my brothers & sisters!1!"

Long ago, I ran into Bob and John Wasson at the roadside below El Cap. I went to say hello and asked about their plans. “West face,” offered a nervous Bob. “Today, it’s the Big Stone.” It was clearly the first live fire exercise in awhile for Bob. John was a seasoned veteran and calmly went about his preparations.
A jittery Bob is a hilarious Bob, and the slap schtick was not long in coming. Every time Sharon or Josilyn would try to be helpful with something like “Do you guys have enough food with you?” The response from Bob would be “Woman! When you are on the Big Stone, you ain’t got time for no snack food!”
“You done this thing, know anything about it?” asked Private Bob.
“Folks used to carry a hammer and a couple of short arrows for the first crux section,” I volunteered slyly with a wink to an already grinning John. The color and humor in Bob’s face left momentarily as his future suddenly became cloudy. "But that stuff has got to be fixed heads or something by now, you guys will be fine." Barbed wire, but only a short stretch and avoidable. The color and commentary returned.
“You guys set for rainwear?”
“Woman, when you are up on the Big Stone, you ain’t got time for any foul weather!”
Though he currently spends his days proudly and passionately throwing himself at the wee pebbles, when I think of BVB, I think Big Stone.......................... Bob Big Stone.

our provisions for that day were powerbars, water, and a single pack of camels. we smoked the last one on the summit before heading down the east ledges in the dusk...'87 was a very, very good year....

If BVB were alive today he would really appreciate this outpouring of the community. Long Live BVB!

omfg, dragontail...i was just out of a five-month stint in the hospital, still had a friggin' CHEST TUBE draining PUS out of my right CHEST CAVITY, and the sole sum of my alpine experience was getting dragged up the cooper spur by off white.....if i didn't know better, i'd say that motherf*#ker off white and his cohort twilly had a life insurance policy out on me...!

I'd kill a sucka for his Chucks, no problem. Especially if they are the Plastidipped, double seam taped and insulated Alpine version!
But BVB is no sucka and hence immune to such piracy.
