These threads are priceless. Its a total priveledge to be a fly on the wall listening to climbers who would be charter members of the climbing hall of fame speak with such candor and humility. Lifelong climbers as it turns out are all cut from the same cloth. Those who will always climb share a bond regardless of ability or accomplishment. Here we are in our 50's or older and still climbing. In what other field of endeavor do you find such camraderie and mutual respect between legends and yeomen. Good friends, good people.

Dang! What a blast to re-read this thread! Pretty much everything I know about cracks, be they OW, hand, finger, or off-hand, I learned at Woodson. I can remember entire sequences on so many problems to this day, and I was only a local (granted a 5-days a week local) from '75 till around '82 (and then tapered off somewhat from Woodson to other areas till moving away in '85).
I took my future wife to Woodson on our first date. Ran out of gas in my '67 bug, which really impressed my future father in law when the tale was recounted to him.
Woodson is magic, and the recurring names in this thread are such a huge reason why.
Greg...you were always the man when it came to OW.
