The real prize, pride of place in any climbing hardware collection, would be Werner's maroon-colored Le Mans. Such a classic.... I bet Chessler bought it up, years ago.

I read this thread earlier today ad was just going to post that I wanted the purple Pontiac and then I read the last post. Synchronicity.
I had a purple '66 Bonneville that I drove to the Valley a few times and Werner still had the Lemans floating around. I always got a laugh out of that. I really loved my old Pontiac. I want another one. That 389 would just purr at 100 mph.

I have a Chouinard Lite D 'biner with "TM" stamped on one side of the gate and "Herbert" etched into the other side. If I recall correctly, I found it with a nut and runner attached down low on Royal Arches in the late 80's. And no, I ain't gonna part with it!
Cheers,
John

This is Werner's original climbing journal that somehow got left in my VW van in 1970 (last entry 2/1/70) and ended up in a box of stuff at my parents house. Just recently found it. He would let friends make comments in it. We were a little wild and crazy back then and still are. I race a 170 MPH drag bike.

Cowboy Stan,
I could deliver Werner's journal to him - he might get a kick out of it.
(I can pick it up from San Mateo easily).

Hi Clint,
I found it about a year ago and took photos of all the pages. I have to find it again. I haven't seen Werner since the 70's once I find it I may have to take a drive up to Yosemite.

Stan,
Delivering it yourself would be even better, of course.

Very early A5 hammer, there, one of my first. Didn’t even grind the forging flashing off the sides. Gave it to Werner around 1987 or so.
