I'm with Jan, except it's closer to 5.4 these days.
Very inspiring, Ron.
My advice to you young kids: make sure you inherit the "right" genes!

Me: Doc, when my arm heals, will I be able to climb .11+?
Doc: Sure, it'll be good as new.
Me: Cool, I've always wanted to climb that hard!
Now all I gotta do is get that arm healed, and I am THERE!
That's what Ron has done to me :: In-spired!

Andy: I don't know which climb that is, but I'll bet I've heard Ron's story about it. He's famous among a few of his partners for coming home from Britain and giving us the "move-by-move" about climbs we've never seen.
Patrick: Twain Harte is wonderful nowadays. I bet you'd recognize it in most ways. There's been a little more development. Most people are perhaps more broad-minded than when you lived here. But it's all still Twain Harte, a very nice place to make a home.

Hi Brad,
So we know it's in Britain, and we know the FA was Henry Barber, which means it's Deja Vu in the Great Zawn, Cornwall.
