Steve – Actually you’ll find your memory will improve the more you find yourself hanging around here.
Largo - before we leave the “cave” next time remind me to bring the camera. A shot of those drops you were doing with the wicked vertical gully exposure would send a few goose bumps across the www.

ouch! Please tell me you didn't land that.
You know, that pose would be equally appropriate, and crazy, aboard a bull.

Tobin put up a route in San Luis Obispo that is still held in awe. It's not particularly difficult, at 5.10a, but is quite continuous with very few rests. It's rarely repeated. The description of Inner Sanctum goes about like this:
Climb 50 feet up a steep blank wall on thin holds (no pro) to a very short crack that takes bad pro. Continue another 100 feet up the blank wall (no pro) to the belay bolts.

Inner Sanctum – I looked at this about 5 years ago, not to do it but to remember the person. Did a few routes to the right thought it was a classic wall with some fine moves. Has that route always had all the lichen? It would add an exciting variable on top of the run-outs. Awe inspiring for sure, would love to do it someday.
Thanks for bringing it up.

...found an old slide that shows all those posh landings at Rubidoux, before the era of crash pads. The slide is so old that I can't read the date. Looks like it might read "Sep 1980", but the date is nearly illegible. We're in EBs, though. Is the date wrong, maybe? When did Fires hit the scene?

Rob(s),
I believe I recognize the climber. The shirt, chalkbag and shorts look all too familiar.
I guess my mom tossed all that stuff out years ago.

#1 Looks like Rubidoux Jim Wilson on 1st pitch of New Gen?
#2 Solid Gold 1st pitch, climber?? Hair looks kinda like me, but I never wore socks, too skinny.
#3 I won't say since I took the photo -- but the photo is well known.
#4 Lynn Hill, EBGBs?
#5 Won't say, my photo.
#6 Richard Harrison on Dogleg?
#7 Tobin Sorenson on Bearded Cabbage?
#8 Heading up along the base of the Sunshine Face, but who, no way to tell (except one looks like Tim Powell -- white cap).

That's not bachelorette #4 on New Gen ?
>>>#4 Linn Hill, EBGBs?
Yum Yum Yum.
>>>#5 Won't say, my photo.
I'm sure I'm wrong, but if that's Insomnia, where the hell did you
take the foto from ?!

I don't know about the rest of this group, but I am having a great time reading theses stone master stories. In fact somneone with a little talent should write a book about these exploits! While most are still alive and have their memories intact.

That's not bachelorette #4 on ? New Gen ?
You know, now that you mention it it does have a passing resemblance to Ms. Hill.
#5 Yep, it is Insomnia. Check out the old style (non-poly sided) hexes. Now that is a burly lead. No Go Ledge is where I think I took the photo.
#2 The home-style drilled hex looked familiar and the jeans, but socks? And what is with the terminal pencilitis?
Note the way we clipped into bolts back then. Who had ever heard of quickdraws.
