Hey, that's me being belayed on "Bozo-No-No," 5.10b at Mt. Woodson during the 2010 Reunion, for pictures! I sure wish I could post the photo that was taken by Nathan Smith of this that day!

Doug, runoff from the road falls to the north side (right side as you walk up) and you can see the massive erosion on that side of the roadbed if you check it out. During a hard rain the road turns into a stream. Boulders along the road fall fairly regularly. If you take a look around, you will see that more than anything, Mt Woodson is a world of erosion.

I tossed out March 19 and 20 as a good weekend to get together at woodson this year, march 20 being the first day of spring. What do you think? Just a suggestion, but it would be fun to get a mob up there again.
I also want to say I thoroughly enjoyed last years shindig. Gary you did a great job! Thanks for everything.

Too bad only BVB and Offwhite showed up at Lynne's party. I was really hoping to see you all, Eppi, Ron, Brad, Ray, Jeff, etc., together to enjoy what they put together that night. You guys were very influencial in my climbing through the years and it would have been my opportunity to thank YOU all for "the trip down memory lane." Again, it wasn't because of me that it came together the way it did for if it was up to my "stinkin' thinkin' it would have been a mess!

Nonsense Illusiondweller, you did a fantastic job. And think of all the super people that did show. Hey, Mimi and Steve Grossman came all the way from the Northwest :D Sarahfunky from Sacro area and Nathan Smith from Utah to name just a few.

Wanted to hit the party (had a blast at Salad's after the 1st annual), but a bunch of us was Test Tubin' until the last ray of sun, needed food bad by the time we got down. Mex food in Poway won out, had a good group there too...

I didn't mean just BVB and Offwhite showed at the party, but out of the group that I mentioned, that were influential to me, only BVB and Offwhite showed. Those that I did meet at the party were a kick and really looked comfortable in your home Lynne, what a really big and warm set up you have, wow! And the food that was provided, cha-ching, it was great! The fresh oranges, guacamole, chicken salsa, tortillas, deserts, all awesome! Some lady was even walking around offering samplers as I walked up the driveway to your home and with the multimedia projection out on your driveway I thought, "Now this is what I'm talkin' about!" Thanks to those that were responsible for that.
As you know Lynne, I don't take credit for anything in my life anymore but give it to the almighty God, it was Him that did the "fantastic job"!

I just came down off the mountain tonight with a younger, strong, motivated kid, Patrick. Unfortunately, I don't have any new pictures to share but I showed him some more classics which he'd never been on like: Blackfinger, Elephants Trunk (crack and face), TV Screen (both sides of the right edge and got humbled on the new HDTV), Slant Crack, a roadside mantle, and played on Blasted Rock #2 till dark. It was a good day for all!

Holy shit! That is a striking feature. How does that rig get protected? Just don't fall?

That's Big Grunt...as the name implies, its a "grunt" to do this without letting out one. I always offer anyone $20 if they can get through it without expressing themselves. Haven't had anyone succeed yet. Its a squeeze chimney start and opens up to knees then classic width up top. It's very secure unroped and its only 5.9...Woodson 5.9, that is.

Gary, its on the south slope, downhill from the playground area. Was a bushwhack to access at the time, and since we didnt cut a trail you can be sure its completely brushbound now.
