Don, regarding the rating system and the unidentified pretty girl, 3.4 should be 3.4R.
Also, I am not sure what to make of the picture of TM: long hair; a bit more weight, post-Jan. How would I have known given the disguise. That is nearly as insidious as putting beards on people from long-ago.

Roger,
Took TM out on my sailboat with that only girl friend ever. She got seasick, a squall came up and I had to give TM hasty instructions on reefing the mainsail and dropping the "headsail". Sorry, Guido, it's been 36 years. She got sicker.
Needless to say, that was their second to last date. It took one more for her make it clear, "It's over!."

Roger, "R" for run out?
Coincidentally, she's still with a "Roger".

OffWhite,
Bob "BVB", standing with a can in his hand, RIP.
Pete Nelson standing, mustache and hat, Sierra Club member.
Next to him, you are hiding (a bong?) behind the old man's shoulder.
A very young Alan Nelson, seated second row, hat and Rx glasses, RIP.
I don't recognize any San Diego RCS members or even peripheral RCS hangers-on from that time period. Surprise me. A couple weeks ago, I happened upon an RCS roster from the early 1970s while sorting old papers.
Thanks for posting!

Juan, left of Pete is Mike Weegee, he was an RCS guy. I think the couples on either end were too, but I don't remember the names, though BVB had a few down, but everyone except the wee children went climbing that Thanksgiving weekend 1973, my first real time out climbing, I think it was Alan's too. Pete's wife (Eileen?) in front, Alan's older sister Karen and younger sister Katie next to him. I think I was climbing in Lowa Scouts, goldline tied with a bowline on a coil. The Sierra Club Rock Climbing Section was a great intro, some good folks. I took a belay class with them that was quite challenging and confidence building, taught me to trust my hip belay.
