Stonemaster Credo
John,

Largo,
I still think it would be cool for you to hear Phil Warrender's version of the origin of the stonemasters... besides, you haven't seen him in too Long!

Yo, yo . . .

Herding Cats: post your group climber photos here
Largo,
That shot was posted by the Uplander, during the Stonemasters threads, but maybe in his own thread. We emailed each other a bit at the time, he told me who he was but I couldn't tie the name t... |

Well, I made it through two days so far. No nicotine. I'm always a little weird but moreso now. I seem weird to my very own self. That's hard to do and I deserve some little credit for the feat.

Welcome to Kevin Worrall
I have a hunch that M. Worrall may be interested in the hydra-headed Stonemaster Stories. They can be found by searching ST under "Stonemaster", or:
