I blame histrionics disorder for forcing my idle brain to
connect the dots between Mike's name and his face.


Thanks Double D!

Bill and I had recently retreated from Mammoth Terraces where we spent several days pinned down in a snowstorm. Being a true innovator, Bill had hauled along his massive 8-track tape boom box for fixing pitches. Sadly though, it hopelessly consumed our favorite Emerson, Lake, and Palmer tape, and then, someone stole it out of his car in El Cap Meadow!

The telescope had been repurposed from my early interest in astronomy to scouting routes in Yosemite. It lived on the back seat of my '65 Mustang while not is use. At the moment I snapped the photo, Mike Boris was explaining to the rest of us, "Who needs a topo when you can see the placement."

Bill has been putting up new routes at the emeralds as well as Auburn quarry the past few years. I have only spoken with him via MP and read about his accomplishments and he seems like a decent dude.

One of my heroes, though I never met him. His ascent of The Phoenix is legendary.

Climbed with him and Angie a bit in the very early 80's. On one trip to Woodfords we took turns holding and rocking infant Willie. Would be interested in seeing those folks again. Bill, if your tuned in give me a shout. Got lots of quality new routes to do a little bit further east.

^^ Hi, can you ask Bill if he is the same Bill Price that I took a photo of in 1995 doing the 5th ascent of Sea of Vapors waterfall climb up here in Canada!?
Picture was in the local Banff newspaper later that week!
