I CLEARLY remember the very distinct sound of the Fishes voice bleating with an abnormally loud sheep call just before impact distracting me.

You knuckleheads are forgetting "The Voice Of the Crags" Alan Roberts. Jeezus effing c......and one other main Buff Alpine Club character Rob Dillinger, boyfriend to the beautiful Debby.
Rob, Sibylle and I worked together on the famed "Mr. Pibbs" commercial, filmed out at the J. Trees.

It was rumored he was killed along 395 late one night due to his....."environmental stance?"

Fill in here.

Thanks Roy for the poignant memory regarding Walter R. He turned his trailer over to Sibylle and I on a number of occasions. That's when I was learning how to ski.

His death was a tragic event and one of Mammoths great epics involving others.

And yes E's vehicle of memory was the squareback. I remember riding from Humber to Idylwild and back sittin' in the front trunk area which had n\o lid. And smoking from the apple pipe while doing so.

I showed that photo to my wife and she enlarged it, I mean blew it up, made it bigger, sh#t, whatever...sent it to her phone and told me I looked hot, like a pornstar. What ever could the lady be thinking?

Must've been around 1981, I got really serious about climbing a lot more for several years after losing big bro. Too bad I wasn't as serious about brain cel or hair follicle conservation back then.

Not sure what this is. My notes say "Poor Man's Cringe".

This Thread is really cool I am enjoying all the old pictures of you guys.

After my regular partners started losing enthusiasm (Kevin Watts, Matt Montgomery, Fernando Corona, Jim Dody).
I had to go on my own.

Actually Craig you and I never roped up together we went hiking a few times and the one time that we went to Joshua Tree together it snowed like crazy I don't know if you remember we spent the whole time sitting in a cave burning. I was pretty sketched out at rock climbing at that point because of my experience with Fernando soloing, I figured I would stick with something safer like martial arts and surfing and it wasn't until the early to mid 90s that I met a guy that climbed extensively with Bridwell through work as a rigger that I was reintroduced to climbing and became addicted to it.

Dee Eee...I believe Rob perished ( 1990 ? ) when he rolled his truck north of Mojave on 395 in Red Rock Canyon ...He had just started a house for Joe Rousek , a llama rancher , in Aspen Springs .. Joe had to hire another contractor to finish the project...There's a spray painted memorial honoring Rob on the foundation stem wall under Joe's house...

Did an El Cap route (either Mescalito or the Shield) where two of our six gallons of water were formerly fabric softener and laundry detergent bottles. We didn't realize until we were well up on the route that no matter how much rinsing we had done before hand, the aftertaste of soap or fabric softener still lingered in the water.

Near the top of the route we had to resort to drinking from those two bottles and the one with the taste of fabric softener was almost unbearable. We figured out that drinking it while holding our noses somewhat mitigated the nauseating flavor. It's what we had to do to stave off dehydration, ha ha, and how we learned the hard way.

The Pontiac bench seat was still in situ! Anybody remember that?

(Al totally stiffs us on our reunions. Won't even return our calls. Billy Russell bumped into him in Red Rocks about seven years ago, said he looked fine)

What and where is the Poor Man's Cringe? Looks like it could be a gem, hard to say from that photo

Then, Dave asked:

And , where the f is Big Al when you need him?

I just got a pile of guidebooks from Big Al in the mail yesterday.
Had him on the phone for quite a while prior.

In regards to the Internet he told me "I don't say much."

............................................

I'm also hoping someone will chime in about the Poor Man's Cringe

And no, that isn't the real Moon Ranchero.
But I understand Andy still takes good care of it, and aside from the wheels, it probably looks much the same.

I have posted it before but I have never seen anyone bang off one arm one finger pull ups in webbing like Craig. Even the Fred Nicole stuff in masters of stone I believe wasn't as impressive although I believe Fred did it with his little finger...hmmmm... okay equally as impressive

The picture of Erik is taken at the campground for Turkey rocks in the South Platte which has great bouldering. I think this was during the summer of 1983? Erik and Vic were living in Boulder and they graciously let me crash at their place for a few weeks. Erik was working as a machinist at the time. Their Boulder place always had a stream of climbers dropping by; Todd Gordon paid a visit during his drive back to California from his job teaching on a reservation, we all went up to Estes Park to climb, Todd being Todd he instantly made new friends and we all ended up hot tubing and drinking beer at some girl’s house after climbing. Suzanna Bandana a climber from Oklahoma also dropped by, I remember climbing the Yellow and Green spur with her. She got the nickname because she had bandana curtains in her truck shell and she fabricated a few halter top from bandanas. I think she ended up living in San Diego for a while. Boulder locals like John Sherman, Pete Stears(sp) and Rolofson among others would also drop by, fun times.
