Todd gave me the best advice I'd ever had regarding climbing: Enjoy spending time with your friends and don't worry about the numbers. Since then, I've been far happier climbing. Thanks for the gift, Todd.

My favorite Todd Gordon story is one he tells himself, which goes something like this:
I was somewhere else far away <Germany, I think> climbing, and I heard this conversation going on about this guy Todd Gordon with this place in California where you could go and stay forever, so I walked over and said, "Hey, I'm Todd Gordon, that's my place you're talking about..." The dude talking looked me over from head to toe and said "No. You are not Todd Gordon."

Hard very severe appreciation to Todd for all those nights we spent at your house and for your generosity and friendship over the years. Great parties, too. And the gym in the garage -oooh.

Just have a little talk with Todd."

Anybody here know Todd Gordon?
WTF then I saw who posted.... Some guy whose shoulder may or may not pop out as you simo-climb some hospital wall at night.
Rain or shine Todd’s one of the finest guys you could ever climb with.

Great picture Todd.
Normally ignore the LEB stupidity...
But:
Todd and Andrea's family is perfect exactly as it is.
It is a small planet.
Unsolicited advise that Todd and Andrea should to try for another kid, and it is "only one more" would strike most as rude and obnoxious.
Sure you will disagree.

LEB, you are so far stretched out of reality it's beyond belief.
Stop sampling the meds at the hospital you work at and let things be. There is a handful of us who actually know the man and his struggles.
If you wish to convey that Todd is a great dad and has a great family, and a generous person, fine. Beyond that, just shut up.

Todd is the man.
Always a friendly smile to lend. Along with the shirt off his back if you need it.
A rare breed.
Cheers to you brother!
