Pretty sure there are some notorius Sheep Buggerers in this photo. Lookin' Sketchy had *just* rolled into HVC with a box full of the new '86 JT guidebook. A huge bleating noise broke the morning silence as a woolen stampede nuzzled into the Purple Bible. A riot of wool flew into the air as pitched battles erupted in the flock over names and grades and stars and FA credits: (left to right we have Brooke Sandahl, Tim Wagner, Vogel, The Voice, Jocelyn, Epi, Schwietzer, Leavitt)
Meanwhile, over at Scumbag Central:

Dr. F was correct
First to put up ropes on a route doesn't refer to Who put the first bolt in, it means that they were part of the Party that put the ropes up first.
I scoped the Super Dome the weekend or month before, maybe with the same FA crew
while out there, we prolly checked out at this beauty,
Hyperion Arch
Not sure if it was the 2nd or 3rd free ascent that I did in 1977
a couple years before the Super Dome FA

One of those euros, maybe that really strong germanic alpinist guy ( Reinhard Karl?) with the round glasses who visited us (and rode an avalanche down San Jacinto) ... would ask, before someone was about to be lowered from a top rope: "How many meters?"
Largo was showing Reinhard Karl around Joshua Tree and took him to the Beaver for a top rope session. Mike, Mari, E, Jack Roberts, Reinhard’s wife, and a whole bunch of others were there. Mo was running laps and giving beta. Many of us were falling off. Reinhard had the belay set up with a munter hitch and when lowering off would ask, “How many meters? “ and then let out a ton of slack and drop you. Jack Roberts got a huge gobi on his hand from the V slot jam near the bottom and he still kept throwing himself at the climb ripping up his mitt, when He lower off Reinhard’s wife takes a look at his bloody hand declares, “ You’re a hard man Jack”.
Largo was giving running commentary on everyone’s attempts, I pitch right near the top; had one or two moves left. Largo yells up, “Oh man, you’re only an angstrom from the top”. (Had to go home to look up what an angstrom was) Typical fun at Joshua Tree, laughs all around.
Reinhard was the first German to climb Everest along with his other accomplishments. Unfortunately, He died in an Avalanche on Cho Oyu in 1982. RIP

Even though the Schmutzfink was a couple years late to be labeled a Sheep Bugger, he gets honorary membership
he is a pure ass sheep buggerer if there was ever one
I don't even know his real name?, like the Manx, you only know them by the Fish created nickname
I hit a gold mine if you want to relive some ST glory days

The following post made possible by Pam Roberts!!!
Some of you may know, I am now the custodian of Jack Roberts' entire collection of 100 issues of Mountain Magazine. Beginning with numero uno.
Imagine my delight when Pam produced the issues, not in boxes, but in a pristine lock box with six drawers, a lid with hasps, and a handle.
Everybody STAND UP and say: Pam Roberts, you are the bomb!

Cosmic needs to step up his game
and be a honest player if he wants to fit in
I told him I would delete the 6666 if he asked, he said no
he likes the attention
I will have subtract a six now
back to 666 for you

Best multi-pitch crack routes in Josh:
Instead of hanging belays, you MUST walk and/or drive between pitches!
These linkups were really fun to execute.
