Did Walt and Blitzo ever hang out together?

I never knew Walt or of him, basically because I got out of mainstream rock climbing very early on. My loss, or so it sounds.
I see Paul Martzen put on page two of this thread what happened that day on Dinkey Cr.
Here's what the web turned up after typing in his name, just so those who know nothing of him can see how he passed.

Drowning in front of companions sounds like a real bad way to catch the bus outta town.
RIP, WS.

For the companions, yes.
I came very close to drowning in a hole I got trapped in. Towards what looked like the end I became very relaxed. A little regret but no anger, terror, or even fear.

Right now, Whipley, Potter and Brutus are in a Better Place, trying to outdo each other with amazing tales of their incredible exploits.
