We had John in communication with us for a short while this year but he became too concerned with the accuracy of his recollections to continue. I need to try again.

Perswig's note above about engripment on Hallowed Eve reminded me that I have a couple of photos somewhere from a 1980 ascent of that route with Henry B. My recollections are not so gripped as Perswig's, probably because it was Henry who did all the leading, barefoot in fact. Also I think we climbed a cleaner route, with a top pitch comparable to the big pitch on Lost Souls except without all those distracting bolts.

Cilleyville is ten or so minutes from my front door. There's a pretty obscure 300' cliff called The Bulkhead in that neck of the woods. Some decent bouldering as well. Paddling the Blackwater River under the covered bridge in Cilleyville and down to the flood plains is a great way to spend an afternoon. If anyone wants a tour, I'll be your guide.

I just picked up a beautiful hardback copy of A Rock Climbers Guide to Cannon, Cathedral, Humphrey's and Whitehorse written by the great Paul Ross and Chris Ellms first published in 1978.

Al's superb history as posted in the OP graces this excellent guidebook.
