But with the newly enforced OSHA rules my tie-off is much SAFER than Dave's

Before I send off another vote for Werner's book....here's some more David Roth trivia.
Growing up in Altadena, I lived a block from his parent's house. Along with all the boys his age we all wanted to be rock stars. I gave up that dream quickly to scramble on rocks instead. We would see David around town doing house parties before they hit up Hollywierd. My twin sister even dated him once (jr high), she said the night didn't go well. I wonder if I will see him at the high school reunion this year (40th), but then I remembered he was shipped off to the "bad boy school" for one too many infractions at John Muir HS. Wonder if he ever did graduate....

I was at Stoney teaching a youth camp, about 15 kids. Dave came by and asked if he could hang with us. He stayed for 2 hours helping.
Cool dude, the kids could not believe it was him.

Bump for Herr Braun's forthcoming book to be released simultaneously with
"The Long and Winding but Never Forgotten Lodestar Saga of 1977-2020"

One more vote Werner, Write the book!
Wendell (TGT) is right. Dude!!!! You have to write a book.
You'd be doing a disservice to future climbers and Hindus if you didn't.
Don't make me come down there and motivate yer ass!!!.

On the Lost Arrow spire shoot Dave was especially scared by the exposure.
He was trembling at one point.
But!!!! Like a true Rock Star Pro when the camera rolls he always delivers his true game face perfectly.
On the last day he was there he finally came into the cafeteria for breakfast.
He never came before because he didn't want to be bothered by "fans".
So we're sitting there eating and various people are staring at him when he finally gets up
after eating and says he's going back to his room.
No sooner had he left, then the Curry employees come over and grab the chair he was sitting in.
I go; "WTF are you guys doing?"
They said; "David Lee Roth sat in this chair" and ran off with the chair.
LOL HAHAHA .... so stupid.

What would be cool is to get David Lee Roth himself to post on this one. I'll bet he'd get a charge out of it; maybe get him back out on the rock!
Running with the Devil, yeah.
