I'm loving the stories and the pictures of all the places Paul's Balls have been. Thank you so so so so very much, everyone, for making Paul's wishes come true. It's an amazing thing to see this happen and such a blessing.

Even the best blend of chalk couldn't prevent me from getting my @$$ handed to me on a paper plate on Mexican Crack

Paul, you're getting around!
Paul visited his “roots” of learning to rock climb -- Moonstone Beach up in Trinidad, CA. Chalked up parts of Karen Rock near the top rope anchors and some bouldering areas. I scooted my butt up to the top of Karen Rock and wanted him to see the awesome view and enjoy the beautiful day.
Paul, I know you are flying high towards the sun without worries and you won't fall.

Took a sentimental journey back to some of Paul's earliest climbing spots while he was growing up. Found this old picture of one of his earliests conquests at @ 1 year old.
This is where Paul grew up from age 9 to 18. He spent a lot of time exploring these hills that were next to the Glen Avon Community church where I was the Pastor. I took some of Paul's Balls and left him clinging to some of the rocks he climbed way back then.
From Glen Avon we drove up into the nearby mountains to the Big Bear Lake Area where Paul continued to hone his boldering skills on areas like these. He quickly left me watching him scamper way beyound my ability to keep up. so I anointed some of the lower areas with his Paul's Balls chalk.
Please keep your photos coming. I will be taking Paul with us on our future RV trips so he will be clinging to a lot of interesting places, but all of you "real" climbers will take him further and higher than I can. I look forward to your posts.

It's going to be a month, at least, before I can get to climbing outside and chalked up. Stuck in the gym for the time being :-(
Recollections are the this is the last time I was able to spread a little PB chalk around:

Hello to all of Paul's friends. We are planning our next RV road trip which will include an Alaskan Cruise out of Seattle WA in July. Will get into British Colombia looking forward to Paul's Balls leaving his mark throughout the Western States and in Canada.

Have been climbing with Paul a lot lately in Red Rock. Not that great on posting pics here, but he went up Physical Graffiti with me just the other day.
A couple months ago, Cosmic and I were climbing with some out of towners. Not only were they touched by Paul's story, they each asked for a pinch from my chalk to go in their bag.
I am proud to continue to share Paul's story and carry out his wishes.

Wow, Paul's death couldn't be a better opportunity to glorify the Almighty God for the willing, sacrificial giving of Himself (His life), for the benefit of another (Paul), with no thought of return (John 3:16). Now THAT's the definition of Agape love! "We love (suffer for) him, because he first loved (suffered for) us (1 John 4:19). What a God!
A pretty cool idea to memorialize Paul.

Survey Says, Paul's Balls loved the "Mikado" on the Feudal Wall.
A little hot for Indian Cove today wasn't it John? Bet you're glad the winds were down today!
