I think that's his name. The guy was a legendary party animal and climbed the rostrum roof barefoot. Bachar called him, "The greatest unknown climber." Who is this dude and where did he go?

Skip Guerin... best off the couch climber on earth.
All the stories are true and then some.
Flashed Acid Crack in Josh on TR, off the sofa.
Fingers of steel and a liver to match.
Last I heard he was in Telluride working construction.
Won a limbo contest at Gabbys Bar in JT. He is very flexible.

What are some of the other stories? I haven't heard much about him other than that he would grit his teeth like a maniac and send super hard.

cosmic debris- one shoe (broken toe) and one bare foot. Bitching about the humidity and lack of ripe fruit in California the whole way up.

riding shotgun from valley to the meadows in that Lancia was the most terrifying half hour of my life.

Skip has done a bit of climbing in Colorado too.

How about "Over Yourself" a V9 pebble wrester right next to Boulder Effin See Oh.


Just so he could ask, "did you get?"

We had a Lancia driver down in Southern Illinois back in the day. Not as accomplished, but no doubt equally scary...
