in 73 I only remember one quarter inch bolt in the middle of the ow on despair. having said that, it was a long time ago. I really thought I was a hard man after that one. we only went over there because of the article in mountain and of course wore white sailor pants.

I think a lot of adventures began with the cover of some issue of Mountain... I know a few places I went because of those compelling images!
John Dill - do you have any more images you could share? (I have volunteered to do scanning of 35mm slides, negatives, and I have a new flat bed scanner that works well too)...

My creaky right bicep and left ankle are starting to signal an incoming WideFront. Expect sustained wind(edness) gusting to 5 to 12 and a 80% chance of precipitation of lunch.

Here's a piece from an old friend concerning a OW in the Valley:
"Peter Paan"
a few unchosen words about 5.9 OW
Followin
Peter pain
I was waxin
with the Norwegian but
de Flames melted the klister
painin
the wood bright burnt orange
peelin
away from the damned skins
so I Bard the dam thin.
Puffin away like an angry Gym Bird,
singin like the old man
fartin the words of mem or he would
Never Ever See the memory
of which he stank.
Then he came to the N
Word. And the angry bled away.
Yeah, I cn cmpete at this level with the best ST has, I tink.
Whaddya, tink?
Winkwink,
Nudgenudge.
But that is not his real nor is Mouse
who descends from Laarson the Caterpillaar
but they dropped two A
and left just the first one A.
A?
I never took the quickie quizzes
Have U?
Did u pass gas as it went
by thrutch and clutch and desperate mewlings
makin TM proud to B a big bro to a gang of Uths?
Or did U refuse the invitation
claimin prior Commitments?
Why did the chicken bother
Brother Mouse the timid if he wanted the truth?
I'll tell U the truth
Crossin the chicken
instead of the road
leads the old man back to where he started
but he suddenly farted
stinkin up the squeeze.
Bright blue skysun and he is free.
Wendy parted
Mathis farted
everyone said he's back.
But he never left
Peter left
So everybody leaves in a huff
in a peak of anger yet again
Fartin stinkin Puffin stuff
Yet we two have joy.
"Five-niney as hell, bro.
Nice lead."
But I raced him on the rappel
and my watch claimed I won.
My loser friend bought the Schliz
cuz we wuz Buds in a frenzy
seekin a way to get away
and become what we were not.
Sittin in a Camp 4 parkin lot.
