Hardman: Last Pitch of Matterhorn Peak, out of Bridgeport.
OFF: 'looks like more weathered granite, so I see the west crack try. Sort of like Lunatic Fringe, but the rock is rough.
Wah. You said this would be easy...

But I didn't say it was in California... It gets probably 100 ascents a year maybe?

The Hulk:
I have a Pic of the whole face, I'll get to that tonight.
The Red Dihedral/Ygdrasil I think was our route, very nice.
Positive Vibe: Bobbi & Bard. Looks great, probably well documented as a bit runout?
Yes Jay: SW Direct on Devils Tower. Nice fat fingers.

The scan was backwards, but that's O'Kelley's.

Yes Vawter, Watkins.
(you sound so certain, perhaps I don't need to confirm).
O'kelly's Backwards? It is, if you've done it, an easy ID, but it does look odd. When we were punks,(well still kinda punky), we were lucky enough to do the O'kelley crack with Don(?) O'kelley. He was a stout feller. One of the Old JT guidebooks, I think the orange Wolf version, had a great picture of that stoic hardman hanging from the climb from wraps of 1" tubular around his waist.
The Black Canyon Pic is not Choss Logan. Not the Cruise.
(Again, not my post either, but when I started the round 2 thread I saw the ID Tag)

Yes, Stoned Oven,
Whew.
Thank You Andy D.
That was getting drawn out!
I believe, except for OFF's granite splitter, we have the accordion reeled in!
I recommend we start tagging our posts with an ID, when things get this busy. (Hey, I do Admin and Sales, I'm a Neatnik!)

So here's a hint to help with #6 up there, Steve Grossman styling the descent.

The Wangerbanger pic is in the correct orientation judging by the boulder at the base.

Tar,
it really didn't look like the Black to me. Not enough water and the rock looked too good.
My last time there I got halfway up a new route when the crack went seven inches, flared, and lined with like thick rock potato chips.
Epic with a capital pic.
Anybody who wants it can have it. I think Jimmy Newbwerry had the right idea as a high school student chucking cherry bombs down there. Now THAT sounds fun!
