Paul Roehl, you are the first person I know on ST that knew or climbed with Bruce Price. He sure had some good stories to tell.
Interesting! Gotta couple of those stories myself. Price was one of the original "wild and crazy guys."

This incredible passion for me came with an Interesting lesson right off the bat. It all started with a Rock climbing class offered from Holubar Mountaineering Supply in Early 1973 at Big Rock, Lake Paris CA., Africa Flake Direct, 5.6 was the route. Well, The instructor led the climb then handed the waist belay to the first student up then left walking down to the base. There were 5 other students Who followed the climb. Each conveying to next what they thought was a Safe belay.. or so the instructor had hoped. I was 6th and the final follower. So by the time I got to the belay the rope was merely held in the open hands of my belayer.. I didn’t know much at the time but I knew that was not a belay. I told him you are Not belaying me.. the rope should be around your back.. he insisted his hands were good.. Anyway, Needless to say from that day to this I have made sure that my belayer knows what a belay is..
