Does Ekat not have an appreciation thread? I couldn't find one. I think Ekat would appreciate it.

A Super women, with the perfect combination of wry wit and stern eye of wisdom.
years of being the ears and eyes of old school 'blood', her words are weighty.
and her defense of the finest solo climbing device ! Is to be marveled at .

Wow.... I can't believe that this is the first appreciation thread for .....
Brockman, Kath, Binney, or what ever she calls herself.....
To me it will be Brockman forever...
I first fell off of the turnip truck into Camp 4 in 1973.... Lost, unsure if I could cut it on the huge cliffs of the valley, unsure of the scene and how "it worked"...... one of the first people I met was Brockman, beautiful, blond and all knowing about the how, why and when of Camp 4 life. Every morning she was one of the ones up early, making coffee, making small talk, and she was a magnet for the BIG BOYS, you know guys like Kim Schmitz, the Bird, Dale, Kevin and a whole host of the Big Dogs.... sometimes she would hook you up with somebody who required a belay slave. She was in with the in crowd.
But the best memory I have is the lifelong pleasure of just knowing her, seeing her back in the Mammoth days, at Guitar and Music shows, and now having her as one of the shinning stars of Super Topo.
Ekat rules.
Hope to see you around....young lady.

Now, watch. . . next time around I'll be a needle point instructor at a rec center.
And funny as hell. Did anyone mention that?
(Oh...yes...only a couple dozen times. D'oh!)
From her days of being a YoseClimbingNorseGoddessBallerinaFisherwoman, and driving a PURPLE VW van, to her repairing her own roof in the Montucky snow...that gal has seen some adventure!
I too look forward to one day sitting around the fire with her, listening to tales of yesteryear...laughing my head off.
Cheers Kath!

Love that eKat. She's cool, up, kind, and makes herself useful - all the right stuff. I'd share a rope or a beer with her any day.
And, it's amazing how much different stuff she's done.

First time in Camp 4 after a 2 day hitchhiking ordeal, most of the last day spent at the entrance gate to the valley, and a bad nite along side of the road... very frustrating.
I finally get a ride from a worker going to work who drops me and my friend at Camp 4.... early morning.
I have a splitting headache from lack of caffeine.
But I have made it to the most holy place in all of climbing and I have a few weeks to enjoy myself.
The first thing I see is this very cool blond "chick" sitting at a table and she looks at me, smiles and says.... "would you like a cup of coffee?"
I had found my guardian angel.
Thank you for being you.

BTW,
I speak fluent outhouse:
(Darn, that didn't come out right … Crap, I mean cripes … Nevermind, I better quit while I'm behind … RATS! Did it again!)
Anyhow,
No doubt, eKat you are the numerator by which all denominators are judged!
