Happy Birthday Ed. It was great hanging out with you this weekend, and it was good to be back up in the mountains with all our friends. You've been a great partner over the years, and a wonderful friend to me. Here is to many more adventures. Hope your having a great day.

Happy birthday Ed!

You've been of inestimable help with some tricky questions:

Ropes at the Speed of Sound: http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/335919/Ropes-Speed-of-Sound-physics-question

Golf & El Capitan: http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/206908/climbing-myths-golf-and-El-Capitan

Today's puzzle is how deep can a crevasse be? (OK, maybe it's more something for Greg Stock...) But, not counting calving ice shelves and bergs, how deep can a crevasse actually go down?

thank you all for your well wishes, and to ablegabel for initiating this post.

I had a quiet day in a quiet two week break with a wonderful weekend with friends around the campfire. Only the best of friends will follow you through poison oak thickets wandering "lost" around the cliff band you intended to climb... and claim the circumnavigation was a quality outing!

Hope to catch up with all of you in the hills this year.

just winding down from the day... thanks all for your well wishes, wonderful to hear from y'all


It is above Iota summit block , right?

no, it's the prominent block to the left of The RORP and to the right of Angry Natives, right in the middle of Reed's. It isn't really attached by much either!

Jim, there is talk of rallying to the Creek in April... could become reality! Jaybro has designs on my tower cherry...

Mike F... hope to be out your way, BUT looking forward to you visiting the Valley! that would be so awesome, lots to do (and even for sport weenies!).

Thanks to Gabel for the OP! a year ago.

Never a stone I turn'd
never a concern. I've learn'd
His, he has in his orbit
the one who
I owe it all to.
Still, it is

the best I can do
