I also recall that summer.
Bachar was king, but the kid and Shipoopi were driven
for the number 2 position.
Both had done lots of steep run-outs and drilling.
So when Burning Down the House went in with the two
dueling leads, we figured it was like dueling banjos up there.
The whole was clearly greater than the sum of the parts...

And cool that it has lasted this long without a second.
Perhaps there should be some special distinction if the
bolts rust out before a second ascent.

when i was considering going up on this back around the time it was put up, shipoopoi seriously told me to bring a bolt kit, and use it. i never made it up there.
