The Charlie Fowler photo is awesome... right in the maw of it all! And Alex Lowe... well that is so Alex Lowe.
Thanks to all for making this another "best ever" taco thread. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Where does that Charlie photo come from? What's the story of the "fall"?

That picture of Charlie was a Patagonia ad I think, too.
Something like Charlie climbing in 'full conditions'
And I guess that wasn't his biggest fall either. I'd read he
took a 4000 footer over in the Himalaya at one point too.

Looks like Jstan is free soloing FOOPS, while holding the coiled rope in his hand, all while his friends below look on in awe.
Whoa man, you da man jstan ....

I think you're talking about Roger Briggs on the Diving Board in Eldorado Canyon.
You'll find that up thread.

I don't know how ST manages to keep generating these mind blowing threads, but it does. Looking at all the youngsters pictured here I asked myself if I had it to do over again would I change anything. No.
Last year at Facelift I thought briefly about going nostalgic and touching the rock. But then I got involved doing the hardest route I have ever done. Rt.120. Was a great party on that one. Ed, Crimpie, Eric, Jingy, and many others. Maybe this year.

Yes I was wondering that myself.
That's from an article on Albert Ellingwood, from Climbing number 70; I didn't see any mention of Buhl in it, so I'm thinking that's a Coloradan or American of the same name.
