-Mari and Mo
If you are lurking here a great big HELLO from me.
You must contact me if you'd like to lurk in the valley for old times sake! It's pretty rockin in El Portal.
Mari..never forget our journeys together on Intersection Mountain!!
Thanks to you both for your generosity, kindness, friendship, and laughter. Whenever I was in the desert you were my inspiration!
All the best and get on up here friends,
Big Big love,

That was exactly my Point per Mari and I thought that pic really said it, thanks for the follow up.
My 2 cents: I don't think Alpspitz meant any harm.
A little comparative wit doesn't bother me anyhow...
I think he's appreciating Mari more than mocking the other Gals.
We all Love one another I'm sure.
'Just saw Lynn night before last, She was giving a slide show benefit for cancer here in Boulder, she is as silly and personable as ever.

Roy, Such sweet shots of "Jughead" I believe, & for certain, "Duty Now, For The Future". Great shots of great routes. Duty Now... probabaly needs the 2 1/4" bolts replaced, but is one of the finer offering in the Needles IMHO. Pulling up to the roof, getting some cams & setting off for the 20+' runout to the belay is an experience I'll always savor & treasure.
M&M do lurk here as Pat said but they've been beset by computer problems recently & have been off-line for most of the last week. Besides, they've got the cave dial up set-up.

Mari G. is someone that I only know about from pictures. I've just never seen the stories about her that I have read about/by some of her contemporaries, but from the pics of her that I've seen here and there, she seems like she climbed as solidly as any gal I know about.
Anyway, a couple of months ago I was taking a break from Supertopo by cruising the internet for information that actually relates to my work. I was reviewing some papers that I used to reference a lot when I noticed that one of the authors was "Mari Gingery". How many can their be?
Anyway...Mari, if you're lurking, nice work all the way around.

Thanks for the 2 cents Mike! and, you were right, all I wanted to say is that Mari did on her own, what others sought with assistance.
and speaking of same, how about all those that acclimated at Snowbird for a week, whilst Mari worked in the bio lab, only to blow everybody's doors by 40 feet on saturday after flying up the day before? That was great to watch, and other than bouldering contests the only time I can remember her competing, is that correct?
Still wondering if Mike gets an occasional Mari sewn chalkbag.

Ya Werner, another thing I've been meaning to post in conjuction with this route, when I have you checking in, is this big tree that used to be on the descent, which we rappeled from.
Used to be right?
I hear the big tree fell out!
Funny thing is, when we rapped the route, I saw this teeny weeny little sprig of a tree with a sling on it, right next to the big 'ole tree, to the left.
Cosgrove or someone said "yeah, that's what Werner uses!"
If that is true, you are something else man!

Don't remember seeing a tree that big so it musta fallin outa there?
I've done the route about 8 or 9 times or more now. But haven't been up there in the last 4 years.
That's a cool shot of Mike and Mari dangling around on the descent rappels which would be the windjammer route.
Did it once with Shipley and Merry, we trundled a huge ass loose block at the base of the 3rd pitch. It took out the top of pine tree below.
Awesome route this windfall, and that roof still spits out a lot of these modern guys for some reason. It's technical and catches them by surprise.

You may not remember Tom Gilge, but that is who is hanging from the tree, not Mike, anyhow, my concept was, that it is gone, cuz that's what I heard yet the little twig rappel remains.
I recall the roof move is a bit weird: I put my knee flat at the lip to make the reach.
I really like the steep fist to tight hands crack.

Liquid Sky is to the left.

Liquid Sky was cool and it all came together for us.
On West Side Story, I took a pretty good wip from just about where Mike is in this shot, right after I put in a couple bolts in a row, both from tenuos hooks, one which sheared it's edge right as I finished tightning the bolt...
