Kerwin attempting a photobomb, Gunsmoke, '86. I pitched off the top of High Noon that day and didn't walk right for a month.

Most Josh Trips involved plenty of this: mid-morning hangover nap, first generation Kinnaloa Sketchpads were a major lifestyle upgrade

Mooney, funny you should mention "Fin Dome," 11,693.
In April 22-25 1977 Slim Jim Angione and The Reverend Jim Dutzi and I went in to that area over North Dragon Pass, 12,400+, class 3 (there may have been hallucinogens involved).
Our main objective was (the classic) Mt. Clarence King, 12,905. It was early season and all the lakes were still frozen over and mucho snow. We walked straight across that big lake at the bottom of North Dragon Pass.
Jim and I did a FA on Fin Dome the day before we climbed Clarence King, "Duck Feet" 5.8+. It was a rest day.
The next day the 3 of us climbed Clarence King (5.4).
We went out over Glen Pass, 11,943 and then Kearsarge Pass, 11,760. That was a big day.
BVB, love the shot of "The Creeping Jew," and any and all shots of Jocelyn.
Oh. ps. I like the little dog snoozing with you!

Does anybody else remember the weekend evening when some motorheads from LA build a massive fire and used it to ignite a magnesium engine block in Hidden Valley Campground? Everything within a one-mile radius was lit up brighter than the noonday sun. The rangers from Lost Horse could see it and actually showed up after about 30 minutes. They took stock, decided it was ordinary no harm no foul HVC antics, and left. This was back in the late 70's when they never even bothered to pay little if any any attention whatsoever to HVC.

Roy,
That second shot of Mr. Bruckman is actually a different route in Real Hidden Valley: Semi Tough.
But, in in the fog of memory, it is all the same anyway. right?

Thanks Randy.
I'm not so sure that I took those pictures!
I'm still holding out the possibility they're not mine. IIRC, someone sent them to me claiming they were my photographs.
I have a vague memory of shooting my pals at Future Games when I was convalescing ...

Hey Dave,
I like that you are starting to flesh out your timeline here in this thread, with dates and FAs.
At some point, maybe you could put together a timeline of your notable ascents?
I'm collecting these in preparation for oral histories down the line.

Roy, there is nothing I would love more than to flesh out my own glorious past, especially when my ego needs it most. I won't say why.
Maybe later.
I am headed up to the eastside to meet my Rockreation posse for cragging and my own selfish downhill skiing needs.
.......and I am bringing a fresh baked peach pie from the peaches grown in my backyard and baked by my Ex, Margy.....that we picked together this afternoon.

Dave,
A couple of weeks ago I left you a voicemail with my phone number.
Just get in touch with me at some point down the line and we can discuss your timeline.
Berg heil!
