Galen Kirkwood, lost but alive in the moldy Northwest.
On Suicide Rock with Grizzly Adams...

Brad those are priceless - thanks so much for taking the time to scan/post.
gotta agree w/ off white about influential climbers:
eppi saw the thing in a way which has become the "modern view" of climbing - he - and Heinz Zak - influenced our lives in major ways.
thanks again Brad - funny, when Guy Andrews died, after that...I saw JB at Woodson and he said some people thought that it was me, had us confused.
I never met him - man it's sad what happened, so young.

neebee, thanks, these are all 25-30 yr old photos. So Cal folks from that era will know these guys indeed.
John Mac, 'Epson Perfection 4490 Photo'. Wife bought it, don't know the price range. 4 slides at a time=8 minutes. Does negatives, the few I've tried came out kinda green, but they're 30 yrs old so we'll see... Prints (& t-shirts & chalkbags!) are very fast.
Ray, my P.O.S. Vista PC hasn't read a CD or DVD in months. Many,many,many hours with HP support failed to fix. Training with medicine ball, almost ready to hurl the m-f'er through the f'ing wall. Sorry, where was I, oh yeah, had to grab driver off the Web, so don't have bells & whistles.

Oh, what a sweet slice of familiar history, thanks Bee Hay.
I think that virtually useless old Climb Axe was Guy's. Galen and I borrowed it for an ice climbing trip to Lee Vining and lost it for him by leaving it planted in the 2x4 and visqueen camper shell on my old pickup, it didn't survive the drive home.
It was another 20 years before my rotting crud collecting big toenail grew out and got normal. Huffing toenail cheese is a gateway drug to harder stuff, I hope Salad dodged that bullet.

And the Curlymobile I think.
Climbed with TS couple times this year, still looks the same, except for the wrinkled , leathery skin, and (more) bowed legs.
I forgot to mention in my 1st post that Guy Andrews is the one who saddled me with the Bee Hay moniker. Still got that stink on me 30 yrs later. He's probably cackling in his icy grave.

BH, I lost all my photos in the cedar fire. Would be willing to pay for copies of our winter tahquitz ascent, as well as any photos you’d like to share re: CT or Peru. How 'bout some from the infamous snow creek trip where gunther fell almost the whole way down and lived to tell the tale?

Scuffy B,
What an eye for detail you have! Those are indeed Black Beauties! She searched all over for them, as they were almost nonexistent in San Diego. Those were reputed to be the supreme edging shoe/boot, they were absolutely 100% stiff! Especially in her very petite size. BB's put my RR's and PA's to shame.
Today, it's difficult to imagine free climbing in those things. What were we thinking? "Smearing" was yet to be discovered.

I made a stop at Boomer Beach on my recent bullet trip through the old haunts. 30 years on, this route is not there anymore. Here's Galen getting ready to stretch.
This old shot of Galen and BVB at Boomer...
inspired my daughter to try and cop a similar pose. As she said when she saw the old photo, "Is Bob smoking a joint?"

I'll throw down the 1st $5. towards buying Frank some muscles.
Are those seeds, and a vinyl LP cover? I didn't think they had cameras back then.

I remember that trip. Being the seasoned alpine type, I sat most of the day in the snow covered east face cirque with out sunglasses on a bluebird day. Rubbed sand out of my eyes for the next 24 hrs. and still have the blown blood vessel in my eye. I'm pretty sure all the gear I'm using, including boots, was borrowed from Brad. He was a giving soul, and loved to loan me his gear back in those days.....snicker.

Amazing thread you S.D. friggers! Dang, now I understand why you were all so good; you had lots of FUN!
What happened to Frank Noble? Didn't he do an early lead of Paisano Overhang at Suicide (after Largo's)?
Watusi, you and I both started sans musculature (except you got really strong). I agree with Roy that starting out weak builds technique; then we get strong.

Truth be told, you were my patron saint of alpine gear back then. latest on me is I blew out my psoas, hobbled for 4 months, paying out the wazoo for PT and have gained 20 lbs around the waist in the interim.

"What's psoas? All I could think of was Pretty Sore Overweight Ass Syndrome"
.....well,ok. That too. Or: Previously Small, Overweight Ass Syndrome
that's a good pic of it in Wiki. Iliopsoas is the psoas and iliacus. they both end at the same place on top of the femur, so you usually have problems with both. I've also blown most of the hip abductors. Massage therapy for the psoas is a real treat. It's been described as the closest thing a man will ever come to knowing what it's like to give birth. Sweet.
