C- You're the one that shared a ledge with him for five nights, sooo... heh. This is how rumors start. I swear I heard something about Luke through the grapevine a couple years ago. Can't remember what it was exactly, or from who (Maybe Allison?). Seems like he was doing web work for the girly sites or something. Pretty tough tele-skier as well, from what I recall. He did some serious whimpering on some of his pitches, but he also had all the vegetated/nasty ones.

Flouride,
I teach at Hillsdale High in San Mateo (San Mateo Unified). I'm actually not sure if this was an examination copy or something that's being used specifically in Special Ed classes--it was in the SpEd office. Anyhow, glad it turned into such a rad thread.

Time flies..I climbed my first wall w/ Luke must be 14 or 15 years ago. After teaching myself to aid from Freedom of the Hills, I taught him everything I knew by belaying him on all 40' of Puppy Dome and we hit the Valley and blasted the next day. Total epic on WFLT...I'm surprised we didn't have to get SARed with how clueless we were. I remember the first morning I was getting ready to jug fixed lines off that big ledge (Ahwahnee?) and a baby bird which had fallen out of its nest landed next to my feet. It was lying there dying... I didn't know what to do. Step on it to end the pain? Watch the life slowly drain out of the little thing? I ended up kicking it off and hoped it enjoyed its few seconds of flight before the end. Hoped I wasn't next. I think the only reason we topped out was that retreat down the overhang seemed harder.
I saw Luke last summer by chance in the Indian Peaks here in CO. He was coming down from some morning tele skiing. As of then he was still in Boulder with a web design business (porn-free I think) but heading with his wife for an extended fall trip around the Indian subcontinent. Looks like the domain I had for his email isn't up anymore.

Awsome pix, what a perfect wall, that wave finish is one of the best (about to top out) photos I have seen.

Jerry - I can't say enough about these photos....!!!!
BAD ASSS!!!
Love those corner (arete/dihedral) shots.. Shows the detail of the rock up close, then the perspective draws the eye to the subject...
Nice shots, great shots, I'm in awe
Thanks for posting these photos as a retro-TR...

Anyone have an extra copy of the recent Mountain Gear catalog with this same shot on the cover? I'd be psyched to get ahold of one.
