Sometimes a fine line between a proper outing and an arse 'wuppin.
Wouldn't be right to cross that line and wind up with the latter, hehehe.
Thanks for some great routes Chiloe!

Great couple of days, not doubt about it. Here's my last shot from the last climb, Short Order on Whitehorse. So where are the kites?

Ahhh, pics from home. Thanks for making me smile.
Your fast partner (Lisa) very likely passed my former North Conway landlords, Steve & Sally Swenson (72 & 62 respectively) who also ran the road race last weekend.
Maysho, thanks for the personal perspective. Paul Ross might be inclined to know that bolts are still being chopped on Cathedral.

Great TR Roy! And congrats to the wife on her win.
I love that photo of page 484/Franconia Notch where the climbers are all wearing suits and hats. Gotta love the climbing clothing style of the 1930's. True gentlemen!

Hi Chiloe,
Somewhat better rock at your place than the rock you climbed at "my place" in Sweden recently, eh?!
Fantastic TR!
Maybe I should book myself a flight ...

Better rock but no sea below us, both places were great fun. I'd go back to Kullen in a flash.
Maybe I should book myself a flight ...
Icelandair CPH/KEF/BOS not too pricey. The cliffs wait ....
I can't claim our weather always looks like that, though!

Howdy Jimmy,
Nice pic yourself and welcome to the madness! I bet that you have a couple more kicking around for show and tell. Any shots of Hugh on Stage Fright? Love that little tale of persistence.

Jimmy!
'Haven't seen you in a coon's age.
Where you living these days?
How's it going, still involved in making films?
Welcome to the Taco Stand.
Cheers,
Roy
Yes Bob, please heat up that scanner and dish us up some North Conway jewels...

Tar, does your guidebook have that picture of Jimmy climbing Liquid Sky above the Space Platform (or maybe Jim has some real photos). That was historic.

The Zonkers photo was taken by Albert Dow. Here is a shot of Albert on Layton's Ascent in the late 70s:
Albert died in an avalanche on Mt. Washington in '82 while on search and rescue. He was a great guy, and it's hard to believe he's been gone for 25 years.
The photo of Jimmy Dunn is noteworthy because he had some interesting footwear choices during those years: You notice that he's missing a left shoe on Zonkers. He did the FA of a route called Dresden (5.10) barefoot, but the trend never caught on.
I was watching Dunn work on the FA of White Eye (5.12). There was a key move that had a great hold just out of reach. He came down off the route, drove back into town, and returned with a pair of mountain boots. He put the mountain boot over one of his EBs, and proceeded to dance up thin moves wearing this massive boot. With the extra reach, Jummy made it to the jug. He then hung by one hand, unlaced the boot, and kicked it off into space. He worked through this sequence several times, with people chanting "eject, eject" as the boot launched. This was in '78, I think. Mark Hudon and Max Jones made the second free ascent, notably bootless.
