Clint brought me out to Pinnacles for my first ever outdoor climbing experience, and I had a great time climbing the easy classics that he led up. I now realise how patient he was that day as he watched a beginner flail up routes he could solo.
Clint always has a kind word to say about anyone and, as experienced by me, has great patience with beginners. Since then, we've been on several climbing trips together (with other members of the Stanford Alpine Club), including a mass assault on the Royal Arches-North Dome and also Lost Arrow Spire.
The Lost Arrow Spire tip was his last tick in the valley from the 50 classics but he gave up his chance to get on it when it started getting late.
Here's a photo of Clint organizing the Lost Arrow Spire ropes from the valley rim while other members of the party are rappelling down, and tyrolean-ing back to the rim.

I feel late to the party--don't check in so much.
Clint rocks! . . . and will not bypass booty gear without a fight.

Clint, Thanks for letting me sabotage your climbing day on Sunday so you could teach me how to follow a pendulum!
I like these pics. (Look, I posted a pic on ST! I feel like I've crossed a Rubicon of sorts)

Clint is one of the two or three most important posters here. For years! He is just amazing. We are so lucky to have him; imagine how flappy we would be without his grounding detail, his friendly repartee. And a great climber.
best to you, PH

I've never met Clint but I've greatly admired both his positive attitude toward life and intellectual approach to climbing.

Clint is a cool guy. Got to hitch a ride out with him to Yosemite and he even gave me some draws! Major props.

Clint is another one of those fabulous Tacovians who holds a wealth of climbing information, is a source of awesome pictorial TR's, and is simply nice to everyone, all the time.
You rock, Clint!

I'd like to add my thanks too. Clint's great with all kinds of details regarding anything remotely related to climbing. He's uncovered other valuable info on the internet that I would never have found myself and he even corrects my spelling if it's something important!

Clint's a cool cat. He taught me how to repair/replace trigger wires among other things. Plus he replaces old bolts and is fun to do FA's with.....
Clint Rocks!
