Condolences to friends and family.
My first JT guide was the Wolfe/Dominic "Red Book" and the tales of the Riverside Bunch were a big inspiration to me.
Cheers Woody

This is very sad news indeed.
I had the pleasure of meeting Woody and talking with him on several occasions about the early Josh days. He was a vital, inspiring and energetic person. He was not content to rest on his well deserved "laurels."
He was out climbing whenever he could, and not just repeating the same old fluff. In recent times, he pioneered new routes at Josh, pushed his own limits and standards, and pulled off some pretty impressive leads.
Woody, along with Bill Briggs and the late Dick Webster, were the real first Josh "locals" and the driving forces in free climbing in the Park. Modest in reviewing his accomplishments, he and Webster and Briggs were the instigators of putting together the first Josh guide, though they did not receive the credit deserved for their efforts.
A toast to Woody!

My condolences to all that knew him and called him a friend.
Even though, like many here, I had not met the man, we all knew a bit about him via his posts. I will miss his presence here.
R.I.P. Woody.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Bill Brigs?
Woody spoke of him often and at some point I'd like to talk to him.

TGT, ill email his number here in one second
EDIT: I E-mailed you his number
Woody was definatley an unforgetable character. I shared a rope with him and Locker a few times, I'll never forget the energy that filled the air when the two of them would get together.
Rest in peace my friend

Is this the same Bill Briggs that lives in Boulder?

Hi -- My name is Brian Rokos. I am an assistant metro editor at The Press-Enterprise newspaper in Riverside, Calif. We are writing a story for Tuesday on Mr. Stark. We would appreciate anyone who wants to be interviewed for the story or has photos of Mr. Stark that they could e-mail me to call me at 951-368-9449 or e-mail me with comments with your first and last names at brokos@pe.com.
It sounds like he was an important part of the rock-climbing community, and any comments about him would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I've never met Woody, but I'm speechless nonetheless. So sorry for the pain and shock being felt right now by those who knew and loved him. Words are inadequate, but sometimes all you've got.
