I'm with eKaterinaSoulita on this one ...
The Jeff Sewell cache is wringing the yesterday sweetness straight into our hot little hands!
And yes, Jeff looks to be turned out in white Navy pants. Not painters pants. (high-waisted, flared or belled at the bottom) ... just a notch up on the scale of rare. All hail the 70s!

Fire or Retire was one hell of a hard problem for me. I got up it exactly once, after a hundred tries, and never did it again. You gotta be smoooooth to get up that motherucker.

Speaking of Taxman and Mike, we showed up in Josh a couple of days after Tim and Dan (?) did it in '76 (?) I think? Kevin zeroed in on us like a lazer and dragged us up there straightaway. I think we got the 5th and 6th ascents.
Tasty little morsel, instant classic. Not as good as Whistling Sphincter, however!

Where the hell is Rich Sims....when...you need him?
Grossmont Community Hospital FA with Rich... 5.8 4/84.
We bagged the FA AND got caught by security (well after). .... Then took the elevator down.
....they declared us too cool to bust. Prolly had Eric Clapton playing...
(edit)
I know Bob, WTF. We were lingering at the car and gloating on the
FA and gazing up at the "crag" when the security guard walked up, the rope was laying on the hood. We had to tell him all about it and he was totally cool.
we might have even had beers opened....well OK, now I'm stretching it.

Hey, BVB, you got that Mike Paul pre-Caliente portrait handy?
Pretty much just a headshot. He looks pensive, focused, heroic.

Hoooweee! This thread is a really good book..
Thanks everyone for your contributions and "electric" sense of histrionics.
And for somehow tying my own fun times on these climbs to the past and future.
We ALL must have taken the same batch at some point..
