A classic Paul Boving shot of Yellow Bird on Midnight Rock. From Off Belay August 1977.
What a talented climber that guy was!

I see this post stream is rather old, but maybe we can breath new life into it.
I can't remember the first time I climbed in Leavenworth, but it was likely early 1970's. We climbed a lot of the climbs mention in posts here, some even before they had names. I do know some of the people mentioned as well, and the gear you guys are talking about.... oh such memories. I still have a lot of it. I am still a gear junkie!
Anyone still up to discussing this?

Are you kidding?
The past never gets old for this crowd.

Ran into this character two summers ago in Tuolumne
Certainly rates as an "old Leavenworth climber"

Climbed Classic Crack for my first rock climbing experience. Al Givler and Niels Andersen were spurring me on! Told me Jello Tower tommorrow!
I made the climb, but was dehydrated from fear. Made it to the top and never felt more alive. I thank Al and Niels for there support. I also feel the loss of both.

I just discovered this old thread, last posting in 2011, but I couldn't resist adding photos of another old Leavenworth climber, Mead Hargis. These photos are vintage 1970, 1971. --Tina Hargis

I think it's time this thread got revived, it's how I originally found this web-site. Thanks for the pics,Tina. I remember first meeting Mead in Leavenworth sometime in the late sixties at Eight Mile campground. The next day we all we all went up to Midnight Rock, Mead, Al Givler, Mark Weigelt,Jim Langdon, Jerry Kilner and myself. Mead, Al and Mark are all gone now, a rather sobering thought. For all I know Jerry could be too as he was older than the rest of us. I wish I had more pictures from that era, but photography was always a low priority with me. I know there are a few buried in my closet somewhere....
