Life has proven strange enough to me that I don't believe everything is coincidence.
Craig I would love to sit in on a story session with you sometime soon I'm sure you have some good ones

That photo of Mike Paul in Craig Fry's book, and a similar one of Woodward flashing the AWU, inspired and amazed me for years. What about the classic footage of MP in Masters of stone, floating the super desperates?? So awesome.
Roy I've always wished someone would do exactly what you are doing, reminiscing about hanging around when JB was firing these uber classic bps. MOre please! Were you there when he found Planet X, the JBMFP, etc, etc, etc, etc?? WRite it down, share it, loving these memories. Carry on!!
sorry. End of gushing fanboy rant.

Mad props to Mike Paul. Truly a very gifted climber but more importantly a nice person to all of us visiting climbers even if he did sandbag us a wee bit! Also did I mention he likes to party hard! Way fun to hang with and toss about some good slander on various climbers . Club salute! Steve S / aka Jack Ness. x-dlfa

Friend:
Not Planet X, or the JBMFP specifically, but I will trot out more.
Thanks for reading along ...
Photo search alert!
Craig, maybe you can help, it looks like you have a good archive.
Or anybody else?
One of the best photos ever on this forum is a photomanipulation of Craig Fry buildering beneath what looks like a steel and concrete staircase.
It is in black and white. But somebody Photoshoped a ballerina's tutu on him!
Of course, I don't need to emphasize just how VERY important it is that we find this gem.

Little history of Bachar's exploits at Josh are remembered by others
He lived out there during the late 70s to mid 80s,
and did a lot of his stuff alone during the week days.
We all remember his workout installation located at the Gunsmoke,
and we can all point to his test pieces, but not much more.
We remember his campground presence more, blasting funk from his van, the sax.
Mike and Mari probably have the best stories, but they won't play on ST.
Cosmic, I'll only share with you

The one arm mantle finish to Betty Jo was a nice touch.

I love the Jean Luc Ponty as Russell's soundtrack.
I saw him live during that era at OCC.

We need to get Dean to go and find the rare super 8mm movie he made one morning while we tagged along behind JB. This was his morning circuit, Bearded Cabbage, Hot Rocks, Left Ski, and on and on (faded memory)
And Roy, Jan was a Valley Boy and so was Mike Pope, Jim Wilson (wild jim)Shawn Curtis, Dean, and lets not forget "the goyle" (Mike Gardino) or Levi or Dave Katz or or or or or ???
Time to go and dig out some more slides.

Tad.... a different Jim Wilson. "wild Jim Wilson" he is on the TACO (sometimes) .... he still climbs. He is older than me! He was the leader of the Stoney Point crew in the 70's and still is the Mayor of Stoney Point.
Peter Wilkine (sp?) .... another Valley climber, he made almost all of the Gramichi stuff in the 80's before moving on to BD when they moved to SLC...... I wonder just what happened to him? Anybody know, please let me know.

Hey guys, what happened?? Nothing more to say about the Sheep Buggerers of JT?? This stuff was getting me thru the end of an extremely stressful school year with gut wrenching laughter at times. You've all gained many new fans. I think Fishy probably likes that ; ) Doug, Greg, Karl??? Any more photos?
Anyway, Tim, THANK YOU for the fine prose that began it all, the bleating, pics, blasts, and especially the memories that were drawn out of everyone. Thanks to all (*Roy*) for their contributions. I hope there is a reunion, it would be entertaining and fun. I'd love to see the ladies. Aloha, Vikki
