Jello sent his famous autographed ice climbing tool for auction. It has been around the mountain and back. I may have to bid on that item.

Back at the library, getting ready for a business presentation (by telephone) this afternoon. Then off to Gordon ranch.
Met up with Joseph (healyje) Friday afternoon. His first visit to Joshua Tree. We went on a short tour of the park - he has a new camera, and so we took a lot of pictures of flowers in the real Hidden Valley. Later we climbed Double Cross, which seemed fitting for Joe's first route here. He claims not to climb cracks a lot, but didn't have much trouble - first outdoor route of the year for both of us.

Lynne...sounds like my buddy Spence had a bit to say at dinner... say hi to all. Tell Maysho to get his but up here soon.
Most of all, best wishes to Roy and the auction. Hopefully all the cool swill doesn't get lost in a "haze"

How can this be Healyje's first trip to JT? Has he been kept in a box for the past few decades?

[Edit: Oops, his post is from Healyje]
Party Ho!!! Todd and company got out for an early session this morning. Nature and Ron just about have the first round of sushi done and Ron has his .22cal gatling gun set up to defend against any attempts at early sushi poaching. Roy, Lisa and assistants are setting up for the auction. The band is up and ready to go.
I'm still predicting a disaster of epic proportions - it will be a wonder if anyone can climb at all tomorrow.
Olihphant, I've assidiously avoided JT and Vedauwoo over the years after hearing fabled tales of how sharp the rock is and that fact I'm a sandstone rather than granite climber. I'm from SoIll and the sandstone there is much like in Dresden - beautiful, smooth, and lovely on bare feet and hands; i.e. I'm a whimp and I almost can't concentrate enough to climb on sharp, rough stone. So far the sharpness seems overstated at JT, at least on Double Cross.
Back in the '70s in Eldo we ran into some guys who kept saying what classics there were in Vedauwoo, except the whole time I'm staring at his brand new blue jeans covered with square tears. We ask him if he got those in Vedauwoo, he said yes and that was it for Vedauwoo - we stayed in Eldo.

Indianclimber, yes some places are more protected than others.
Fattrad, ok, we climbed and it was fun ! We set up the auction, made homemade gucamole, and now getting ready for the gig.
Edit: Don't listen to a word zip says about anything, :DDD

DANG,
It's 11:30, and this party is still going, and Nature is still serving Sushi.
Great slide shows by Dean and John Long.
The Cactus Pricks are playing right now.
Nature and I were top bidders for the Acopa shoes that JB donated.
Quite an event.
The Supertopians showed up in mass, and stepped up to the plate and donated some gear and raised some cash.
