I guess because he ripped to the deck from there on the first attempt when the micro brass ripped from the flare. In retrospect I don't know why anyone ever tried to lead any of the stuff up there. "Someone" bothered to bolt up Uncertainty Principle, for instance--quickly chopped. Ray O. bolted the sh#t out of a thing that lived in the brush he called "Silver Stream"...named because it had to have so many bolts so you wouldn't hit the deck on it after each successive move. besides that, it was A0 to start the thing. The first woodson 5.10a A0? The Sineater was nailed, then throughly comfortized and had expoxied in pins...then "someone" straight up bolted/sika'd a shiteload of holds on some overhanging boulders to make a "gym." People did some wacky ass sh#t down there. So anyhoo, I reckon that's why he drilled by the seam. Woodson lore will always be wrapped up in brush, bullsh#t, the drill and chisel. Still some kick ass stuff to climb though and them was those days.

Nahhh, Grug, it's not seal rock...it was this lower outcrop on the east side of the highway...it wasn't a boulder, it was a rock band bulging out of the hillside. I think we trespassed through some avocado grove to get to it...

Yer various "questionable" Woodson routes...
Here's "someone" climbing Hairdo or Cooljerk ( i dont recall as they are right next to eachother). The crux "knob" on this thing blew up, but people would try to glue it back on. It would get passed from person to person. I think finally someone tried to screw it in or something. I don't know if its even still there, or the bolts. Anyone? Anyone?

Then there was this thing...a seam in a dark corridor, somewhere around Long's crack I think...a Ray O project.

all this stuff was happening in the mid-late 80s...i left S.D. in 1990.

Getting back to Rick's 40 foot fall. Man, I broke my back falling off of Generator Crack in 1995 - only 22 feet. I was told by my doctor, that they will automatically x-ray your whole damn body for any falls over 20 feet.

twin toe hooks on the flake that allow you to match hands on the pretty damn good slopers on the lip, cut both feet loose while similtaneously doing a sick stomach crunch to kill the swing, then big "easy party" campus moves to a suspect bucket at the lip.

bring you feet up, mantle over, then fight off all the bouldering betties who are so stunned and amazed at your primeval prowess and animal magnatism they demand to do you on the spot.

(roubidoux 5.10a, on the outside. or woodson 5.11c. same as it ever was....)

somethin' like this....

I liked the part about the Betty and her friends--got pictures.

Oh, Robb, maybe just the two of us are fading away.

Cool move, Bob.

Leeeeeeeeedia, man.

Tom Lindner, I believe at Josh, not long after he got out of his back brace..note the F.R.O.G. chalkbag...

Woodson, eighties, euro-trash, Retropulsion...
