Spent a bit of time with them in JT yesterday morning. Good time; it was hard to leave but I had things to do. Thanks Harrison and crew for the coffee and making me feel welcome. It was sweet to see the prayer flags.

H put up some prayer flags which were blowing in the JT blow. Meeting Steck and Richard was a pleasure, but mostly I was drawn by H and the Pink. Good people!

Allen Steck, Richard Long. They are climberz. And great people. I wish I would have brought a camera. It was a last minute trip. I felt more at peace for the hour I spent in that campsite than I have in a long while.

Does are the ones!

Edit: When I introduced myself, he said "Richard Long". It took my brain a few ticks to put it together.

Good times with nice people - can't be beat, Johntp. These winds have been crazy the past week or so, everywhere in California as far as I can tell. We were in Death Valley last week and it was like being on another planet at Stovepipe Wells.
Same winds forecast for today in the Bay Area, with highs in the 50s. But by the end of the week, all will be back to normal!

I just got home last night from 4 nights at Ryan. I was suprised to see Mo and H next to our camp.

Cool to see Alan and meet Richard and a few others in the camp.

What a great camping and climbing atmosphere there. We had so much fun and hope everyone at Ryan enjoyed our light show saturday night.

we have pics of climbers climbing headstone friday night if that was u.

No, not me. The shoulder is still busted and unfortunately I had to blow out of there (pun intended) after about an hour of visiting. I was just out making a book delivery to H.

Steck was wearing the same green felt hat from the pic posted by mighty mouse.

I believe Doc Long just retired. Should be seeing more of this unsung hero out and about.
