I did a FS of WOTWS the weekend before
and so was psyched about how it was such a spiritual experience it was
Completely a Zen mind meld with the nothingness that permeates all dimensions
miles away from other humans, just pure climbing motion, no stopping for belays, nor rope drag, no extra poundage of gear, all the other cool stuff associated with FS-ing
The next weekend
You guys!!!
Let's go do it..
It'll be awesome
Ya hooo
What The F...
what the hell is all the racket coming from the parking lot, a half a mile away...

I call him Booges
he led Imaginary Voyage when we did it..
some the other nick names are a little disrespectful
the Roman Statue is OK
Nothing bad could be said about his on-sight lead ability, it was always top Notch!
We did at least 40 routes together, maybe more
and of course I would get a nice TR on the 5.12 R leads, and I would take the lead on the next pitch
Thanks bro

take him on one of my trails
or not a trail

Them "Old Ass Hippies" were cool! Warren (I think) was like an AI guy with a giant brain. Maybe robotics? And Carrie was a.... hmmm..... ultimate crag eye candy with a could be your mom bent. Anyway, always great running into them at the crags. Good stuff. Where are they now??
As for the driver and the dislocation... It was his elbow, and he was having none of Jack honking on it as a cure. I don't think that elbow ever really recovered from that incident.

Incredible lifespan to this thread!
At this point, we can declare the 2016 Josh Crew Reunion an unqualified success!!!
And we telecommuted the whole shebang.

I can't find the photo of the couloir that me and DE did a FD on
first descent, we used a special technique of keeping one hand on the back brake, and you slide the bike below you while toggling the back brake like a ski pole
but you just wait, Mt. Bike first descents are the new hot sport on the horizon!

Nice topo... slight correction: Bird on a Wire was done by Craig Fry as the FA. Along with most of the others.

If we were smart, we will schedule a Real Reunion for 2016 ASAP
I would have it my house, but then it would be too far for the fish and tucker
and then we would get Russ alone, we can pummel him in good ole sheep bugger fashion.
oh wait, me and Russ are going to first pummel Birchy, and then Locker

Nikki was great... Driver was quite the ladies man and usually ran something with a bit of mocha in them.
I remember us blowing up the aluminum block Vega one of his women had on a JT run... then the Brazilian that spoke the Spanglish or PortuEnglish.... then the blond white girl with the dirty mouth who called me "Dick, c*#k, Ass...." once in a moment of frustration. Good to see he finally got the ship righted and settled down.

according to sources
The Driver is now a billionaire
and the Schmuztfink is now a highly respected real estate mogul
the story is that he was an East German Olympic Gymnast pumped with steroids and on an East German Hard Core regimented training regime.
So when he tunneled under the wall and escaped to the new world
and ended up in JT
he was a little taken back when he found out that Molinky was the best, and the Rock at Josh was really abrasive, but he went on to become the world renowned Schmuztfink, and that he could copyright, right?

After reading "Night of the Long Knives" the Schmutzfink turned his swap meet finds of Nazi memorabilia into a real estate empire. He supposedly had the actual circumcision knife used on Hitlers micro-penis. The sale of that item is where the bulk of his empire came from.
