A collaborative effort picture wise, cameras fluttering from all four of us.
Chiloe's, Crimpie's, and my shots featured here...

all buttered up on codeine, post dental surgery, no leading for me, or operating heavy machinery
for that matter...
As he cleaned a large cam I had placed just to get it off my rack, Tarbuster looked up with a
big grin and said, "I'm operating heavy machinery!"

You got to go with the times, Robin Smith wrote that.
Not only did we go with more link cams, probably, than Layton Kor needed pitons ... we also went
with four cameras.
Mike doesn't post here but he took some of the best shots, adding yet another perspective on
our circus. I hope he won't mind if I share a few of them.

More by Mike Munger:
Finishing off the traverse:
On the upper wall, Mike & Crimpie on Alice in Bucketland, and Tarbuster and I on upper
Ruper, were climbing parallel up vertical rock. This made for some fine angles, although
we were mostly hanging on with both hands instead of shooting like mad as we should have.

Looked down upon Larry and he said something like: "Man I'm Cooked"
I was, too. It felt past beer time, but here we were still a thousand feet up.

What a grand romp. Not cutting edge or news but an adventure all the same.
Some really nice shots all around. Tarbuster bustin' a move with a Stetson groove.
Crimpergirl crimpin' up the steep in crimpstyle.
Mike being the stalwart sharp end coot while snapping some stellar pics.
And Spartacus lookin' so dandy and climbin' so fine.
You cats should start a retro rock band named Crimpie and the Coots.
Rock on!

As we all reached the summit, it was naturally time to go down.
So with a minimum of muss and fuss, that's just what we did ...
In no small way motivated by cocktails.

Do I remember correctly that one of Pat's guidebooks has a photo of Don Whillans on Ruper's
6th-pitch traverse?

Don Whillans on Ruper?
Now there's a picture of an old coot worthy of digging up!
I don't have it in my copy of High Over Boulder.

Super fun day with all of you. I hope Chiloe gets back this way very soon so we can do it again. :)
