i remember slab climbing! it's "whats for breakfast lunch and dinner back in the 80's!!!!!"""""
Here is Kauk on the second ascent of one of my freak shows- the slab below n. face of fairview dome...
this is "defenders of the faith" 5.12 1 nut, 3 bolts, 110'...he is just past the second bolt. 3rd bolt is in 15 more feet then 45 to the top!
go get ron!

BVB,

YOU have an open invite. Let me know. We'll get you in next summer with the whole disgusting crew. Bring the scotch.

Kurt,

Tell us a bedtime story about "Burning down the house". PLEASE?

rbolton...
man i wish steve and i had pics of the "burning down the house"
We were too cold and too scared to pull out a camera even if we had one!
But that was a great way to finish the meadows season of 1984...
i picked out this sweet line on the n. face of fairview and steve and i did it in 2 days. it was kick ass! we wanted to go light with the bolts, last resort only...
we ended up drilling 7 lead bolts, 5 belay bolts in 9 pitches...
i still think it is unrepeated....
gotta love those slabs man!

Levy,
that looks like the first pitch of puckerpower at the quarry..did that back in the early 80's solo after it was just put up by mark and richard. Or is that valiant flail to no avail//

Two things..
1. Isnt that one namless shot of the S Face of Lone Pine Peak? That is truly a shitpile of a face.
2. Did I miss something- Where is Crest Jewel? I would post pics if I had some shots somewhere other than my family web site (no unlimited bandwidth).

Bob, how is Clark doing? He's looking better! It sure is good to see him out and about again.

I just heard Clark is working again. And working the babes.
