Craig, Thanks for the compliment, 56 next month. HI can keep one young in some ways, don't have to deal with the multitudes and the kiddos keep me young. You can take the woman out of LA, but you can't take the LA out of the woman ; ) I'm really a mountain girl at heart, could only live on the Big Island with it's peaks. Looking to retire early, move back to CA for a short time, then...let the adventures begin! Would like to live near the Rocky Mountains...
*I changed my location to Buggerville.

That's a nice run of photos Jeff!
Good climbing portraits of our buddies.
For historical flavor, this one of Dave Tapes is my favorite:
I like this for composition & ambience.

Seems like many of us lived in Tuolumne summer of '81. We went to Mammoth a lot...it was the first summer of the outdoor concerts there...several of us went to see Jimmy Buffett?..I think it was free! E and I moved to Boulder after that summer, returning to Yosemite the following summer for vacation!
Roy, was doing yoga full time BITD : )

Wow Jeff, awesome string of pictures. The Dave Wonderly series is great, with the tennis shoes and all.
Bob, Totally Classic, per usual. Waugh gave me the one you did of the "Don't Call Me Fifi." These things are art.
Vicky. Super nice that you honored us with your comments. Glad you are doing well.

LA , I am a Lurker and was around , I was in the Monument the 1st time as tourist with the family in 78 or 79 (looking at colleges with big sis) We spent a day top roping, that was for me, then we stayed in Plam Springs, that was the family thing.
Then once my sister moved to Santa Monica, giving me a couch to recuperate on,
I made the regular winter/spring break pilgrimage, 80, 81, 83 , 84 ,87, & 88.
maybe I'm in some group shots, any chance that some one remembers?
I was not in the competition for the ladies. At just a smidge over 5 feet tall, not much to look at compared to those OC boys, but i was a climbing' fool, with leather for skin, my secret weapon,
as well as the fact that I weighed in @ under 100 pounds! (a wrestling thing, so I knew what I weighed)
ah youth, so wasted on the young,
but maybe not us?Who took the picture?

Jeff, nice looking rock. Love the old skool wood pipe ;^)
Thanks Randy, it's been good catching up with folks.
Very fond memories of Alan Nelson the summer of '81 in Tuolumne.
He's someone I'll never forget. Good times.

Sibylle and I hiked up there between July 1-4 1977 and did that baby (The Smokestack). It was a big day.
We borrowed Gail Wilt's (she lived in Bishop and was Alan Bartlett's room mate) car for the approach (we had hitch hiked from the OC) and did some damage to it. We had to buy her a new muffler after.
We also did Cucumbers 5.10 (on Cardinal Lodge Crag), and the NE Face of Picture peak IV 5.10 that weekend.
We did the 2nd free ascent of Keeler two weeks later.
That was her gift to me. The idea that if you were going climbing you should go big every time.
Well.....I guess that wasn't her only gift to me....
