One of my favorite problems.
Richard Large doing something funky.
Marilyn Wisner
Rest are Dale photo's
Probably the only time I ever saw his foot come off unintentionally.

dale looks immaculate with his footwork; with his hips in tight to the stone he displays quite an aesthetic overall composure.

well put Tarbuster, Dale IS dialed in. Always enjoyed watching him, Bachar and Kauk climb. They had a way of dancing or fluid movement or something like that, hard to discribe, but they were a joy to watch climbing. GREAT photos, bringin' back some old memories. Notice no cars lined up on the road in the background? Could go there for the weekend and not see another person.
Peace

My word!!!
Fantastic photos of a great time in history... the only chalk there is Dale's(on the problems he's on).
I have seen, Kauk's finesse,power and footwork
Bachar's dominance over the rock, like water
except up.
Sharma at the Buttermilks, enough said.
I have seen only footage however of Dale Bard. What a fluid master of stone he is....his physique like a chiseled David Graham....
TIDBIT: Bard hollered at my partner Kevin(we were on Iron Hawk,way high in every respect),
"How'd you like my route so far?" in a soft childlike voice.
He was on Sheep Ranch maybe 1994/5?.

The images you post here at ST are priceless.
I've never seen so many great pictures of Dale bouldering, and all I can say is that he was a master of the art. The problems he's cruising still get see few ascents. What's the problem he's on with the polished, blank gold face?

Klinefelter, I think Dale called it Club Tropicana. Most of the problems back then did not have names though some did. The boulders all had names some of them had several. Dale started naming all the new routes he was putting up. He may have started that trend.
Richard Large on the Funky Tut.

Great photos, keep em coming.
It was a great time and place to be, quiet with lots of adventure not to mention some fantastic scenery.
