Largo. I know that Rick would really appreciate hearing this from you and the other Stonemasters. He thought the world of you guys.
Now Rick was three years older than me, and, to tell you the tr... |

If I have one true regret it's that the SD boys and us LA Stonemasters didn't join up early on. Piggot was a Stonemaster from the start--just a real soulful dude with a real stoke for climbing and ma... |

StoneMaster Stories (Part 4) continued onward farther
I was quoted, in an old interview, about the Stonemaster thing:
Robs: Naw. It was never like that. If you had the moxie, you were a Stonemaster. No dues, no cards, no club. Just a wry poke at the m... |

Great story, Henny! Here's my recollection of our first ascent of Valhalla, in April, 1972:
