Hmmm, Dave how many epics, near misses, sprained ankles, over-doses and first ascents have we shared?
More than I can count....
Your da man Dave!

One very critical piece of information that may be lacking in this thread is that Dave's 50th birthday is today or within the last (or next) few days.
Happy birthday Dave!

Hmm...yes 50 big ones, half a century, whoa! I don't feel much different except that my finger hurts.
I don't really understand what people mean by "growing up." I see people around who are my age and they look old and they act old (non-climbers). Why don't I (we)?
I have read that by keeping a youthful perspective and pursuing youthful activities (climbing, mtn. biking,sex, etc.) one can produce a hormone that actually physically slows down the aging process. So...gimme more of that stuff!!!
Cheers y'all.
Spencer, I will send you your "Lounge Lizard" soon.

So he did Figures on a Lampshade or Boogers on a Landscape or whatever it's called,
Okay, I know this is damn cool.
But it is that Last Unicorn, out on the Superdome that's got me going...
I probably trumpeted this back in the Stonemasters thread a year and a half ago, but heck, Dave cruising that acid traverse on the FA:
That's the hero stuff!
Happy Big Five-Oh Dave!

I must point out that last summer Dave's dog-child "Scout" (pictured in the above image) died on our approach to Split Mountain in the Palisades. The coincidence of this tragedy cannot be overstated because Dave also lost his father on Split Mountain when Dave was ten years old.
True to style (and though obviously in turmoil) Dave rose to the occasion and jogged to the Summit with our bro-team.

You got me Dave, I just released the shutter on these things.
It is obviously at Suicide and I think just around the corner from Jonny Quest.
