Russ, that was hella funny. Speacially that part about the crane making a hella noise.
Luckily, I totally understood what you meant, and didn't need to be told, like another on this forum.
T*R, smoke another bowl of that hell-of-a fine weed, your too much..... and go back to bed.
Don't have a Werner quote, I'm gone.

You can definitely have 'some hella' cause in that context it means 'really.'

One time around 1971 Werner, Luke and I were climbing the Slack at the base of El Cap, before it got beat out, and the jams were quite thin. I´m up about twenty feet up with no pro in yet and he says, "Man, how you gettin´ those fat fingers of yours in that thing." I guess it was the way he said it but Luke and I started laughing and I almost fell off. Finally I got to a good hand jam and got a nut in and Werner says, "Man, those things (fat fingers) make you dangerous."

"This sucks", or words to that effect, as he conceded a chess game we were playing in the lounge, sometime in the late 1970s. I was grinding him down with a classic clutch and grab defence, boring him and the audience (Bachar) to tears. Not pretty to look at, but possibly the only time I beat Werner at chess.

Werner how many terms as Mayor of Yosemite have you had...man you get it for life!
One time E told me this; I think Werner was talking to him, than he started to leave, someone was walking up, and he goes
"Every time I see That guy I run." The way he said it had me roll'n in the dirt!

This one has been told a hundred times.....
We are hanging out on the asss end of Werners LeMans, like we used to do all the time... doing nothing, maybe staring into his trunk which was always filled with cool shiit.... anyway.... this girl/woman walks by, probably a lost hiker from the Falls Trail, and she is girthy.... really girthy..... So she is walking right next to us there in the Camp 4 Lot and we are kinda checking her out, for science..... then..... it happens.
She isn't past us 6 feet before Werner basically motions toward her with his thumb and yells out, "Ho man!..... King Sized Momma!!!!"
She turns and gives us a 280lb look that could kill..... we are horrified and motionless.... luckily for us she quickly turns and waddles away. We can't even believe what just happened... and then Werner, as he does, sheepishly asks, "was that way loud??"
Ho man that was funny!!!

"Huh, those guys are fags!"
Werner's response when told about the first NIAD by John Long, Billy Westbay, and Jim Bridwell.
Same line later used by actor Sean Penn as Jeff Spicolli, in the classic movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Rumor has it that Werner is paid a hefty royalty every time this movie is on tv, or rented.

Punk Roy and I were descending from doing the Zodiac in winter during a big snow storm. We were walking the final steps to the road from Manure Pile Buttress and wondering how we were going to get all of our wet stuff back to camp when we heard a car running on three cylinders coming around the bend.
As I put my right foot into the road Werner's purple Buick (formerly Ron Piers's Buick) glided to a stop. The door opened and Werner said: "I figured you guys would be here about now".

When Roy suggested that the Buick was close to its end Werner pointed to the picture of Khrishna hanging from the mirror and said: "thats the only reason this thing will run forever man"
