Got a great one of Tim slacklining while juggling 4 sticks.
Tim would rework those flakes with a 16 p nail and then invite girls for a hike along the "seeded" trail.
That trailer was full of honey!

Do you have archives buried all over the South Pacific or something.
You are amazing.
Will we see each other this year?
Love and angulation,

For over 40 years I have wondered what happened to the guy who dropped me 80 feet to the ground while climbing Rixon's pinacle at Easter '71. I met the fellow in camp 4 a couple days earlier and I do not remember him at all. If anyone knows the dude, please tell him that I long forgave him and hope that he kept on climbing (with better technique). The incident has been in my chest for a long tome and I hope that he found peace long ago.

Super great thread.
Those pictures of "Slings" and Tim Harrison brought back such wonderful memories.
Steve Williams took me up my first Big Wall: a two day ascent of the North Face of the Rostrum. We were picked up on top by his friends Bridwell and Covington. I felt I had entered the world of real climbers.
Tim was such a wonderful soul. Everything from his legendary hitch hike with a trailer to his skills at obtaining a free meal, not to mention his passion for climbing, made him one of the most memorable characters of that time.
I feel so lucky to have had a chance to known the people of Camp 4 back then.

AC
great pic.
Wonder if SuperTopans can get together and identify many of those characters.
The catcher and the guy leaning against the backstop (Kauk?) might be easy.

This was two years before my first summer in the valley.
Werner is there with his arms crossed. Chapman with his shirt off. Don't recognize many others.
