Yesssss !! Skippin' through the electronic world,... old acquaintances,... and, came upon this fine thread. Simply put, one of the wonderful climbing ( bouldering ) individuals to traipse upon the scene. In a world of soooo much posturing & noise,.... To be soooo strong,... and yet, soooo quiet and unassuming is a rarity. Happy trails to you, Bob !

Walking down Hugh Norris trial in the Tucson Mountains this morning.
Admiring the beautiful boulders. What the hell?
Is that a bolt? On top of that nice face? How the hell did they....
Get out the binocs. Sure enough. A quarter incher on a Leeper.
Bob was here!
Rinse and repeat.
All over the Tucson mountains in fact.

I spent a Christmas school break in Tucson once. We would go to a little cliff in town. I think it was called "Campbell Cliff."
I saw Murray there. I hadn't heard of him until then. He had a tremendous reach, and was hands down so gifted that I knew I was seeing something special as he bouldered.
He also seemed to be very quiet. He did moves that I couldn't get my feet off of the ground on, though.
I see this thread is old. I've probably already said just as much already, somewhere back thread.
Anyway, he was good. Really good, and that was in 1980. He was pretty young.

Bob was always an amazing talent and I was a bit surprised that he didn't step into sport climbing but he is also not someone who seemed top crave attention preferring to pursue a more contemplative path in bouldering.
