yep, too tall on what looks to be the first pitch of stoner's.
speaking of stoners, first time i met too tall he was living in san diego and working at "future foods", a hippy sandwich shop in p.b.
following a bunkweed session at watusi's mom's house, we had major munchies and dave had the keys to future foods....so we went in there (mind you, it's like 1 a.m. or so) and proceed to ravage the place like an army of starving huns. smoothies, tomato and sprout sangi's on home baked organic flour wheat bread, fresh fruit bowls, the works. for the next few days i was more regular that i ever been, before or since.

One thing does come across clear in this and the Stonemasters thread is the amazing level of training aside from just climbing and the very early adoption of bouldering in the SoCal crews. I never saw the videos or came out that way climbing so never really understood the degree that this was the basis for many remarkable careers and accomplishments. I understood this about Gill, but only to a much lesser degree with all of you. It's interesting to see how you all fed into and off of it and one another. In our case if we didn't get it climbing we didn't get it. Training per se wasn't part of our deal. I'm sure it rates a "duh" from all of you, but it wasn't that way everywhere back in the 70's. For Gill being from Colorado it seems there was a more rabid adoption of his ideas in SoCal than in Colorado during those years. Looks like a big part of the reason for it was what was available in the way of SoCal stone led to an inclination for serious bouldering / training to make the most of it.

As far as I know, nobody ever trained down in SoCal. Just a bunch of lay-abouts is what I heard.
