Jim is good. He just got back from Chile and Patagonia.

Good call on the pile jackets. Those were indeed the early, puke colored, fuzzy pile pull overs.

Philo, I've never seen those two. Even if I blow it up I can't quite read the verbage on the Kor's cave one. Maybe you could post at a higher res.

Yeah, I heard that Mr. Nigro just got back from a fruitful trip to Patagonia. Are the rumors true that he did Fitzroy? Are there any details to be had?

Inquiring minds, residing in slothful individuals, want to know.

Thanks Phil. I believe I drank a beer with you once at Taylor. Well, I hope there is a "Gunnistoner" book put together some day, a Gunny Valley version like the new John Long "Stonemasters" book.

That'd be a story. More about Southern Colorado climbers than just Gunnison Valley guys and gals. Though the rope drag could get bad from time to time, The Gunnison and C. Spings climbers always had much more in common with each other than with the Eldo boys. (with a few very notable exceptions)

I am stoked to come across this thread again.
It brings back the memories of adventures that I shared with some quality people in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

Really nice photo Vic! Care to share some more?

Diagonal Will is not exactly a trade route.
