i was just reading about you, bob.
the old climbing rag with the great
write-up on johnny dawes.
you were mentioned in the cliff notes.
something about a drunk driver
passing you on the sidewalk
and you getting fisty with him?
oh and congrats on
your plethora of fresh tracks.

AWESOME! That's a lot! Will 2000 be the pitch count? And how long did it take to do so many? Blows my mind.

2,000, and think, you could have just bought an arm chair and criticized all day long.
There is still time.

Thanks everyone, Fritz...I work full time, mountain bike, run and raised three children and somehow kept my marriage together for over forty years now. :-)
Another streak...35 years straight of climbing 5.12 or harder.

Yes, you are!
This 'great milestone' is to be acclaimed, oh wait that's the point of the thread,
Ego was another thing that those early days in the woods taught, - How To Spray!
Yo, Bolt'in Bob thanx, crept right up on you when you weren't even looking huh?
Please come east for send # 2001. (get Goony clune, to take you to his private Idaho;
Ice caves ,Sam's point.) Or the big overhang on the Mountain House side of the lake.
Did you ever swing on that ( 'I' beam, chock, fixed before the lip is pre Tor and I, . . . '76?)
Way back Kev said I should climb with Bill R - Barb said I should try to climb with you!
I couldn't keep up, three am starts if I heard correctly?
Hey you also take a good photo or two,off topic but great shots of Da 'Byods

Wish I could spray like that. Even better would be if I could do it and it was justified. Damned impressive. Wow.
