I'm thinkin' when these drawings come to light, we carve you into Squamish; you'll be the first. Nothing's been added to Rushmore for ages and El Cap only has old stuff too. Imagine what could be done, T.

Malemute, fun! Maybe now that we used up El Cap, we can go to Half Dome for you! HD was Royal's after all.
Tami-matic, Katie and I are closing in battle to save Western Civilization as we write here tonight!
A fiction piece, and I think a wonderful one. Katie says Winter issue. I have been slaving on this one for two years.
But I have to drum up some more, as this one is already sort of finished, yes.

Yes, I agree. Check out the Batso memorial. Roger is a very nice guy.

I got this card from Warren at his 69th birthday party in '93 in the hills outside of Bishop. I hear that Alice died in a car accident many years later.

Where was Harding's shop? Fresno? I remember buying an orange BAT tent at his shop. It looked like an old laundromat. Big windows, smelled funny and seemed to be a whistle stop on the way to the Valley cause it was busy the day we were there. I was coming from Marin. He was there and sold us the stuff we bought. Later we saw him in the Valley and he always asked us to party with him. I no longer have the tent. I bought a miniature Dolt piton there which I do still have. It's made of brass. Anyone seen those?

A climbing partner for years was an engineer for an aerospace company and tended to specialize in "black" projects. One day he shows up with a tee shirt with the Harding logo except it was supposed to stand for,
Brilliant Anti Armor.
It was a glide bomb that sprouted four short wings with a microphone on each wing that was supposed to listen for a tank engine and home in on it.
Plagiarization of the logo was appropriate.
It was more "Basically Absurd" than "Brilliant".

Any B.A.T. tents survive the years?
I have the spare "reserve" bat tent that was carried up the WOTEML by Warren.
He gave it to Kyle Copeland who gave it to me in order to secure a loan he never repaid.

Awesome! I was at that party in 93. I still have the printed invitation somewhere in my old stuff. Nice night.

T Hocking,
it is buried and smells bad, but even if it didn't I wouldn't consider placing it at risk.
To me it is like the holy grail, being the very first single point gear designed for a hanging bivy, indeed, being the first gearspecifically designed for hanging bivy (I believe the Robbins "Peapod" came out after the WOTEML, still a useful item that weighs next to nothing. I bivied in one recently.)
