shifting in his seat so the hole in his sweats was playing peak-a-boo with the dorm girls.

Ha ha ha. In conjunction with the last Chuck pic that says a lot about a true Colorado character.

I said it before and I'll say it again. They do not make them like that anymore. Hi Chuck.

Hey Allen, Jesse Zacher here. Did you see that Stewart added a small section in his new Falcon Colorado Climbing Guide for Escalante?

This is pretty wild. I lived in Colorado for a decade or so. I knew Chuck in passing through a bunch of pickers where I lived up in Jamestown. I'm an amateur harmonica player and I used to very occasionally join the fun at the Mercantile or up at a friend's garage (Nolan's place if you're lurking Chuck).

Chuck was one of the most talented but also one of the most patient guys I ever jammed with. I always felt like a better musician for having played with him.

It's funny... I knew that he climbed, but I don't think we ever had more than a short conversation about it. I had no idea he was such a pioneer.

An all around quality individual.

Jesse,

Stewart told me the last time I saw him which was in May. I think he had just finished the book. I haven't seen it. Likely based on the material from the first Desert Rock that Chuck supplied Eric. I've been hearing lots of new stuff is getting done which is great news! I might sneak down here before long and take it all in.

I just randomly met him last night at a little picking session. "Hey, you're on the SuperTopo!!!," says I. Good dude, good picker, can't vouch for his nut-stacking.

I still can't vouch for Chuck's stacks, but here's a beaut I felt compelled to employ as a (redundant) part of a hanging belay on Hobbit Book on Saturday.
Chuck, you still in Incline? Let's pick!
