I was not on this climb with Jimmy. It might have been Tony Bird leading. I believe it is on The Traitor Horn Route (must have your sh#t together to lead this--it is the quintessence of exposure).

I'd like to play?
I haven't been hanging out at the 'Taco Stand' much lately.
Just stumbled across this thread only now.
OK so it's Friday ~
But then... I usually am a 'day late and a dollar short".
For me 'vintage' is early/mid 70's.
So I'm apparently I am lot younger than a lot of these 'ole crones...
Yet my teens were already well behind me by the early 90's.
This first pic is Bradley Achorn, my first climbing partner.
We were hitch hiking to North Conway in in a warm, light rain.
It was late spring/early summer 76' (?)
I couldn't help but use up one of the valuable 24 frames available on my 110 'instamatic'
Standing at the beginning of the 'Pilgrims Highway',
Rt #16 after getting off the I-95N at the old Portsmouth traffic rotary.
This was my attempt at a 'satirical photographic composition'.
It was early spring and our journey north up 'The Pilgrims Highway'
we past the Venerable gate way to the 'Whites'.
We went straight to Cathedral Ledge and started right into almost killing ourselves,
on a successful seige of 'Fun House' (5.7) on Cathedral Ledge,
we went and spent a day or two on the North end slabs top roping.
It rained for a couple of days so we bivi'd under the Cathedral Roof.
By the end of the week it was time to hitch hike home again,
so we went and bagged our Trophy climb.
We thought it was pretty good day for a couple of self taught 15 year olds,
when we motor'd 'Sliding Board' on Whitehorse.
We did a lot of hitch hiking that summer.
One of our forays was a very long day to 'Crow Hill'.
I never returned but that is not the crag's fault.
The ill taste was more a product of the 8 hr hitch there...
and double that to get home including a forced urban bivy.
There was no such thing as the internet. But there was magazines like 'On Belay'.
Heck there was even mega stoke to be found surfacing in main stream media:
That first season in North Conway we had a small, white, paper back guide book.
But the next season the 'Dream Machine' expanded,
when we discovered I.M.E and the new Ross/Elms guide book
To be continued in the summer of 77'
See yah next Thursd.... I mean Friday...
