Once again, great big thanks to all who participated in this wonderful show of heart, terrific community support & awesome vibe!
Doug Nidever, Amie, Tobin Nidever:
I'd like to sell off a few more items here on Supertopo, all funds to Flanders/Doug Nidever.
Hopefully this will allow those of you who missed the event to kick in something and in return get a signed Yabo poster or perhaps acquire some of the other items yet to be sold.
I'll also do a trip report, in installments to help bump the thread: you know the drill!
The posters are $20 and price includes shipping.
This batch has been signed by the poster’s author Dean Fidelman, and by Lynn Hill, Rick Accomazzo, Jim Bridwell, Kevin Worrall, and Randy Vogel.
Pictures and prices for the extras will be along shortly, might take till next week; essentially a handful of guide books, a couple chalk bags, a couple T-shirts, a few TriCams. Stay tuned !!!
 This thread brought to you care of Celebrex®, heh
Photos chopped and cropped by GoatBoy, yay!

If you want a poster, let me know here, then write a check for $20, paid to the order of: acct # 3720028580.
In the memo line write: Doug Nidever benefit.
Mail your check to: Roy McClenahan, PO 463, Nederland Colorado, 80466
Include a note indicating an address where you want the poster sent and I will mail it out USPS.
Quantities are limited, but I'm guessing I have enough to meet the demand; we'll see.
Same payment routine for the other items,
This is not an auction but fixed-price, so these items go to whomever speaks up first, pending my receipt of your check.
again, pictures of the other items and prices will be along shortly.

THE TRIPP REPORT
The Prelude.
Prior to this party and fundraiser, I was getting kind of cranky and demoralized. The usual problems with computering you see: repetitive strain and arm jive of course, but beyond that I needed to get an orthopedic work-up for feet knees and hips.
Everything had sort of fallen apart in my lower locomotive chain around January third and I was having trouble getting around without that kind of pain which whispers oh so gently: “sit the fukkk down for all while dumsh#t!!!.
So I was thinking about not going.
Then in the final days of prep, I got that thing deep in my esophagus where it hurts when I talk! Shoot, this meant no voice-activated software for e-mails, consequently I had to revert to typing out my e-mails for final coordination and preparation, which is just plain bad for me.
Now I was really quite a mess … pouting and stuff like that.
But I figured it was a sign!!!
Gauntlet down: with that many stoopid things going wrong it became clear I should just to get out of the house and go anyway.
Saddle up!
Plus, one of the last phone calls I ventured was with Doug Nidever: this confirmed that he would be there for sure. But I likely wasn't going to be able to talk at all during the party. And so …

The Gang of Four
Enter the gang of four. I intuited that I would need a hand selected support group, not that any of you wouldn't and haven't been there for me in the past, but this was a specially derived team designed to surround a scatter brain Tarbuster with the requisite skills and supplies required to get him point A to point B … and in proper form.
At the top of the list was Peter Haan: we had a score to settle! After years of tag teaming and co-conspiring to bring down this house of cards known as supertopo … utilizing zany pictures and sophomoric humor as our only weapons, we'd never actually met.
Furthermore, Peter would be my moral imperator, literary guardian, and personal fashion czar. (Not that he actually approved that garish cowboy shirt which I turned out in, as it happens he was only apprised … the shirt was in fact lovingly donated to the cause by Spencer Lennard).
Second was Doug Robinson: you see, following our successful conquest of the Third Flatiron, Douglas and I had become nearly inseparable as partners on the stone, in that vein that partners become inseparable in the roping up once or twice a year come hell or high water kind of way.
Last but not least was the charming Helga. She'd been an itinerant Tuolumne/Yosemite/Joshua Tree climbing partner of mine back around the time Doug Nidever and I were guiding a whole bunch in the late 80s. We’d kept in touch through the years, helped by the fact that she lives more or less around the block from Lisa's dad.
Helga’s charge was to pick me up at the airport. Just prior to my departure, I had been pestering Lisa with my notepad, writing out last-minute phone calls for her to make on my behalf, as I couldn't speak or do any texting or what have you. Several of those calls were to Helga for picking up last-minute supplies in-country, stuff I couldn't carry on the plane.
For instance: first call: “he needs organic aloe vera juice for his throat" … second call: "screws and a screw gun to attach signs to direct people to the party at Todd's" … third call: nail clippers … oh shoot, I’m sorry, he's a lot of work darnit’, high maintenance if you know what I mean … thanks for watching over him … I'll send you a check !!! ”.
My life. My cross to bear …

At the top of the Marquis today: our current take is at $4,127 ... and still growing, given recently pledged poster sales.
$1,220 of this total was generated from profits made at the food offering, which is a really cool thing to understand in terms of outstanding behavior and overall goodwill.

Post Party Sunday Climbing Activities
the walk to unreported rock
Sunday rolled out beautifully for all: clear, calm, and pristine. We had a group rendezvous at Quail Springs Picnic Area. In total, the crew clocked in at just under a couple dozen ranch-ready lariat toting old dads. The group’s flow naturally formed into a handful of chatty eddies, while Doug Robinson broke out his mini-stove in service of tea.
Eventually the strike force found its shape threading single file through the untracked desert, while Douglas, Helga and I lagged behind for want of addressing second thoughts in terms of provisions. Once underway, Doug Nidever, Tobin, Amie and Marty formed the back of the slinky as our tardy caboose marched outward from Quail Springs.
The walking was really nice! The soil was soft and yielding, providing cushion for long strides and the clear air filled our souls with that emotive wonder often felt when setting out anew through fresh desert bloom.
After a solid 45 minutes of determined footwork, it was clear that we were not so much lost as … in the wrong place, with some confusion as to the location of the correct place. Right at the still point of that collective recognition, with perfect pitch, in key and right on time, Douglas Nidever complemented my guiding skills.
I confess here to back story. The gang of four had been in possession of some special cookies … and had eaten them all up, each and every one. Great strategy for smoothing out musculoskeletal wrinkles, as well as sprucing up one’s sense of cognitive levity.
By design Peter remained at Quail Springs, owing to the fact that the bearing surfaces of his right knee joint, originally graced by God with a handy little cartilage pad, currently shows on x-ray, a gap just wide enough to floss with a single sheet of mylar.
So he stayed behind as planned, and while we were delicately wobbling through the desert, Mr. Haan settled in behind some rocks in the shade, laptop on lap, merrily tooling up one of his fashionable literary creations. Reports have it that Peter’s id and superego were playing badminton with his cherished scribblings. Apparently his internal referee watched keenly, with a curious mixture of delight, self-contempt and brutal honesty as those severed aspects of his bad-ole-self knocked that birdie rhythmically back and forth, back and forth … back and forth. I believe the take away was "opportunity is SO much work".
Right about that time we took some group pictures and turned around to head back, shortly to bump into Josh Janes, who hinted at a suitable course correction. Soon bidding farewell to the Doug Nidever-Amie-Tobin portion of the human slinky, Doug Robinson, Marty, Helga and I then broke away, following this sweet little ascending arc through the sage to the top of a col notched into a sandy spine handily perched above the desert floor.
A nice patch of high ground upon which to gain our bearings I figured; once in position the view opened up to a lovely expanse separating us from the Unreported Rock and I could just make out a group of eight or so folks scattered about the base of the crag. Course correction successfully completed, we decided to seize the moment, do the proper thing, enjoy the setting and break for lunch.
Blue sky, blonde sands, and a handy picnic spot naturally set into the gentle concavity of this miniature ridge line, shaped much like the elegant catenary swoop seen in the profile of a 1970s A-frame mountain tent : there we sat aloft, fondly nibbling grapes, water crackers, aged cheese, and avocado slices … the simple things in life can be so good!
Following our repast, smartly braced with fuel and a crisp enthusiasm, we toddled downward and onward, soon to partake in the delights of Unreported Rock…

Unreported Rock
As Doug and I are old and creaky and Helga had not touched stone in eight years, a short spree of mellow third class was in order:
Doug led the way around the corner out of view,
Unlocking a cute little fifth class step across over sudden exposure, requiring steady nerves and deliberate footwork.

"You mean that big crag to the right of the high point on the skyline with the leaning chimney that slants to the right"
"yup"

Nice shots too! (Route names...hint, hint......)
Looks like cool stuff.
EDIT: I do the same thing when I have to have 'warmer' beers. Take Guiness. Drinks good cold and warmer (room temp.)

Oh yes, that route on Intersection Rock is called The Bat Face.
Helga used to solo it in the morning when I went off to work guiding.
I was slightly gripped doing the big 5.0+ run out on the last pitch to get to the bolt.
Too funny.
This was the first day we'd had climbing together in 22 years.
The summit pictures from back then look pretty much the same.

Yosemite Facelift is rife with SuperTopo trouble-makers....Hartouni is always there, and that other trouble-maker, Jaybro.
Woot! hehe...
