Larry's brother, Roger, is a fine climber also and spoke at the Diamond Reflections show. Big fun to meet these estimable folks and hear their stories.

Steve- Reading this was for me, something like stepping into a Time Machine mentally; brought back memories of a lot of good times with both the living and those who are no longer among us. Those of us who climbed in that era all knew one another, but we normally had our favorite partners. Much of the interaction off the rocks came in the CU UMC Grill at lunch or between classes. Most of my best climbs of the era were with Bob Culp, and he and I still maintain a climbing connection to this day. I usually hung out and had occasional lunch in the Grill with Jan, sometimes Layton or Bob, and with both Larry and Patrick Oliver on an intermittent basis. So many friends of the era have gone on ahead of us...I miss them all.
Patrick was indeed correct when he writes about "Climb." The comments about the personalities of the era are sometimes accurate, but flawed in many cases. Mostly we were just a bunch of guys bonded together through a love of climbing.
