Looks like Keifer is drinking Coors! +10 for that.
Fry was never in line with any of them women. Word on the sand was he was "into" men and low angle slabs. Neither of those was a Bugger favorite. Pretty well known facts at the time.

My tall blond wives will have to disagree Russ
Kiefer would have been a step down, but I was young
I do drink Coors, so that is a plus

One time at JT camp, before I had any guns, I was leading way over my head and almost died on Clean and Jerk.
Meanwhile Bachar was doing flawless laps over on the Beaver...

Nice poem, Tim!
I recommend the Lake District in Wales for a SB climbing trip. Can’t swing a cat without hitting a sheep there. Blakey was kind enough to show me around a few years ago.
I read a good book on the subject recently, The Shepard’s Life, by James Rebanks. The author grew up on a farm in the Lake District and had little formal schooling, but read a lot. Somehow he got into Oxford, graduated, and was offered jobs in finance, but decided to return to life as a shepard.
A must read for all SBs!

Here's my favorite portrait of Pat Nay from back in the bad old days:
(We really gave him hell BITD ... He was ready to mash that camera into my face!)

Classic case of overcompensation there Craig... after all those years of you gargling man shank it is no wonder you went far to the other side later in life... you know, to try and even it all out.

Eeyonkee surmised:
Seems like a fun bunch of juvenile delinquents, but if Dick Cilley was really second in command, it's just as well that I went back to school.
Well, no late 70s/early 80s Josh retrospective is complete without this dandy:

If there was ever was one to make a hetero turn, it would be Dick (I think he told me that).

Craig, none of the chicks on your list are buggerers! Most of the ones you mentioned were classified under "hotties", except for me of course the non climber. After the Fish gave me a black eye I was done. Russ still claims he doesn't know me, but as WE ALL know he is BS'ing...probably doesn't want to explain to the wife about all the groupies. E was not a bugger either, HE was a HOTTIE and could blow any of the buggerers out of the water and they knew it. When I met him he was hanging with the Stonemaster's...many fond memories there. Thanks again for the great photos Fishy and everyone. Aloha

Kevin Powell told of some groupie chick that said, "oh the Moon is soooo long and fuzzy". I think that might be how he came to be called the MoonFUZZ. Can't remember her name though. Might have been the Old Ass Hippy?

E caught one of my longest falls in my second year climbing, 50 ft tumbler off the top of Jonah up on Tahquitz. Shirtless with a hip belay he got pretty good rope burn and must've yarded in some rope fast 'cause I stopped 5 ft above the ledge he was standing on, saved my ass, and I'm grateful to this day

Hi Vic,
Guy posted that pic of E. I remember meeting you that time I drove down to go climbing with Eric in the Needles in the mid-80s. Don't think you were so happy to see him go, ha ha. Shows how much you cared about him. You seemed like a nice lady. Last time I saw him was about 25 years ago down in Owens River Gorge. Guess he's still crankin hard after all these years.

Sorry Bushman and THANK YOU Guy for the pic of E.
Bushman, vaguely remember the Needles climbing times. Everything before children seems to be a blur...I'm really going to delete my account, but I
really enjoy the photos and memories ; ) Aloha, Vikki out

Being a San Gabriel Valley bunch,
Stony Point was a common target for Buggering!
