I agree - legend.
MP was the first "non-Imperial Beach" climber I got to see climb; it took me 8 or ten years to begin to come close to what Watusi shredded (in scats) that fateful day at woodson, when we met.
ALways fun to climb with, such good and pure sporting energy - and humor.
And talent. real talent.
I think Watusi got to have a blast blowing peoples doors off - it terribly convincing style (and igniting a landslide of competition) at woodson all those years...too funny!
No one could touch the guy on 5.11 highballs, and we all had to work our asses off trying to equal Mike!
True!

Best time of my life, cruising up the hill (illegally) in BVB's parents cruiser and pulling over to stop at our fave solo's
I loved the days when you could drive up to the gate, push it wide open (despite having like 10 or 20 padlocks on it), and drive up the hill. With the numbers of boulderers now, though, it'd be mayhem.
I remember that kind of odd guy in the fire lookout on top of Woodson, too (had a pet rattlesnake up there with him). Major weirdness vibes.
Keep the pics coming, Mike! These are great.
