Here's a once in a lifetime gathering of the "old guard" in memory of the legendary Bob Kamps. It was a tearful event for all who attended...


The back row, left to right, Dave Rearick, Vern Clevenger, Mark Powell, Don Lauria, TM Herbert, Mike Sherrick (FA of Halfdome with Robbins and Galwas,) and Andy Lichtman (many Yosemite FA's with Bob.) In front are Beverly Woolsey (formerly Mrs Powell) and the former Mrs. Rearick., Judith Chase.

(ok, Verne is the young one...)

FYI there are a lot of great pictures and other information to be seen at bobkamps.com. It's worth a look.

So, how old is TM now? Looking pretty good if he is in his 70s, which I am pretty sure he is.

It's not Stim. I spent Thanksgiving weekend with Stim & Tina, and it doesn't look anything like him.

Here's Stim and Alex Bertoulis. Another old dude who cranks.

Here's Stimson over Thanksgiving when we were in JT.



Stim followed me up several 10a slabs, and never missed a beat. Not bad for an 86 year-old!!!

Yes!

I wanted him to sign that page, but he wouldn't. Said he stopped that many years ago. But I think he was slightly impressed that he was recognized by two guys from Europe.
Kept asking us for contemporary speed; ours (not impressed!) and others. And talked a lot about South Face + Steck-Salathe (of cause).

Regards

the old guys should be a a slam dunk for anyone who's been climbing for more than, like, five minutes.

the big question: who's the hottie getting her ass goosed by these two elder statesmen?
