Jim is definitely a cool guy, and a big inspiration to me.
I have a climbing partner in his 50's, and another is 73 and has a lot of routes in Red Rock with his name on them. I consider it a huge privilege to be able to climb with them. Wendell, the elder partner, can teach me more in an hour of talking then I can learn in a month on the rock. I'm glad that there are people like that, that are willing to climb with you and share their knowledge.
I met Jim for the first time at Facelift a few years ago. We got to talking, and he has the stoke level of a teenager which is awesome. Then he says "we need to go climb sometime!"
Uh, seriously? I told him that I'd probably bore him to tears as I'm a low level fair weather type. His response was "Eh, you climb with Cosmic, that's good enough for me!" Made my day haha.
People like Jim are far and few between. Stoked to see him back in the Valley and gearing up for stuff I couldn't imagine doing. Get some!

Jim,
You are a machine!!
I spent the day on Cathedral yesterday. The weather up here is unbelievable--much like the Valley. Crystal clear-low humidity, and about 60-70-F.
Too bad I'll miss you--arriving on June 12th.
Have fun!

Mr. D,
What was your time on the SS? How fast do you plan on doing it the next time around?

Rockfall on old, neglected classics? Donini's got a new helmet. Rocks beware.

Glad you had fun on The Good Book. I remember loving that route. Won't go near it now, too much rockfall. Saw a big one come down there just a few weeks ago.

Jim! Glad to see that all is going well!
Heidi & I had a great time hiking in the Utah desert with Angela!
Unfortunately, as you know------after two fun days of safe & sane hiking, we got rained out on her birthday.
It was fun while the good weather lasted!

Safe and happy climbing Jim. Best wishes.
The Good Book, I'd love to do it someday, but...
Kevin, weren't you on the FFA of it?
