Many years ago, on this day, Michael Friedrichs and I were toproping be bop tango in Joshua tree when we watched someone solo broken glass? Or maybe in the pit(?), a .10d thin lieback. When he topped out we cheered and I let out a roadrunner call. The. Climber ( whom we didn't recognize at that distance) yelled back "Jay the offwidth monger!"

Of course it was Walt, and later he told us it was his 28th birthday!
Happy birthday Walt! Miss your insights and crazy ways! It was always an adventure!
I think he would be 61 today
