The fellow who committed suicide by jumping off Jackie was Howie Davis. A very nice guy and good climber who apparently suffered from underlying issues that were not obvious to his climbing companions. While it was the end of his affair with another climber's wife that triggered his suicide at a very young age (I believe that he was no more than his early 20s at the time)there was surely much more going on that contributed to his tragic decision.

found this in a photo album,
I'm following Arrow in 1984...
looking at that bolt.. one of the only ones at that time in the Gunks (at least on routes that I would do)... is it still there?

Bolts are still in original positions, but have been replaced by beefier varieties.
Arrow shot from the seventies.

I was there in 1980 as well. To bad my pics were stolen from storage.
Hanging with Hans Krause and the Raubenheimer's. Kris of course authered many firsts in the 60's. One of the first hard women of the stone. Cheers to Kris, Wally and Tor. And of course Jon Rose who taught me how to ice climb. Many thanks to you all.

This photo was shot by the guy who's house I was sewing chalkbags in the last few years. Seems like he captured the quintessential Gunks climbing moment....

Two subjects here.
1. On netflix you will find "Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview". Watch it. Absolutely incredible! If you work for a company that is totally screwed up, Steve explains why this is so.
2. Erect Direction
The climb deserves all the attention it gets - and more. After we did it Bragg and I decided we
had to get Wunsch on it, belaying in that scrunched up corner. The leader would then gather a few
feet of slack and jump off while out of sight above the next ceiling. From that position we would fall
past Steve, directly in front of him, while smiling and waving goodbye.
Unfortunately it never came to pass. We just continued to get ever older. Well, I did at least.
