Splat, ya got the guy above. The lower guy's initials are RA, if memory serves and the caption on the pic is right. Not a well known name, to me anyway.

DW and JV --
Yes, Kurt Smith on top, who's on the bottom? I don't have my Craig Fry guide with said image, or any other guide book at work with me.
Not fair on the Woodson shot with Mrs. VB. The image has been manipulated so we can't see the rope or the background I believe. I know I know this climb but it is escaping me at the moment. UUuuuggghhh!
Give a hint, is it on Woodson or on the other side of 67 on South Mt. Woodson (Iron Mtn), over there with Mt. Everest?

Scott you got Kurt right, but a big NO for everyone on numero dos.
Hint: A certain keyboard manufacturer has a similar name.

i knew the answer all along, 'cause i've got the first fry socal bouldering guide, from whence that pikky was pinched.
stairway is actually pretty reasonable now, with a big nest o' pads underneath.

Lemme clear the table Beebs, 'cause I'm pretty sure no one will recognize the climb, much less the climber. Frank Noble on the Wasp at MG, underrated at .11a, and a scary lead, even with a bolt replacing (a bit higher) the old fixed pin. Rarely attempted anymore.
And Pat didn't ask, but Roland Arsons and the General are on Stairway to Heaven.
What's left?
P.S. And you don't need to be a doctor of philosophy to recognize that right facing flake.

Hey Grug! Cameron! We have to find Dennis Sullivan. He's got a ginormous slide collection. Probably got a bunch of the PMBs, Woodson and Santee, Tahquitz and Suicide, and the Valley.
Who was the namesake of a "Denny Slideshow"? That's what we used to call it when the slides were out of order, backwards, sideways and upside down. It wasn't Dennis. Was it Denny Adams?
