I'm glad that I got the RNWF in (mostly) it's original condition. We spent the first night on the now missing ledge.

Large sections of various routes went missing when Cannon cliff's Old Man took a talus dive.

One of my last FAs before leaving NH was a 5.7 crack out a 20' x3' x 8' flake wedged under a roof. No one else wanted it, so I named it "It's a Good Day to Die." Still probably there, but not for long.

The only route I can think of that is totally gone...just plain missing, I mean the whole thing has vanished is Werner's crack up at Mirror Lake. Too bad too because it had a great approach and you'd have to break your leg off to fall out of it. I liked the one next to it as well and think it's still there, lakes gone though.

Volcanic Panic, Queen Creek Arizona,
LooseLips, Jtree,
The stuff on the GP apron? Green dragon?



Back east:
In the Gunks:

The starting ten feet of many climbs are fully polished.(almost Un-climbable)
From top rope swing-rides, given out by noobs and guides .

then things that fell off, or went down,. . . ?
the Old man of the mountain, as well as a ton of other stuff up on Cannon. . .
in New Hampshire.

The memory fails,the list is long,
but, - in the Gunks -
'City streets',
Persistent, after the 'baseball' was removed and not put back.
The foot holds from No Solution, . . . .



YES! the best start to Hallets ....

Didn't climb it before rockfall, but i'm sure some of you did.

There used to be a 20'-tall boulder down on Castle Beach (Seabright) here in Santa Cruz. By buddy TomD and I went down there almost every evening for a while, and we established some really grand routes, with some pretty fun names. The Styrofoam Cueball had this crazy sandy mantle to top out on the ocean-side of the boulder. Thing was Hard, and pretty tall when the sand was out. I only got that thing once, and wrecked my knee another time falling/failing.

Lucy's Salad was another great one, somewhere I have a pic of me on that.

Thing fell over and disappeared in the great '86 quake...
