He did, he and his brother also had toad fights where they threw small toads at each other. He never went climbing with us but he joined Scientology (SP)

How about "Born to Mac"
I do not place ASCA bolts on new routes. I buy all my own hardware (although i do benefit from the ASCA by being able to find out which resellers sell bolts the cheapest).
in fact, klaus, if you ever want to know who we have found selling bolts the cheapest, i would be happy to hook you up.
SIDE NOTE: A lot of people slander on this forum under anonymous names and post incorrect information. That is the nature of having an open forum with very very little censorship. But, anonymous posters also dont get much respect compared to someone who either uses their real name or has posted under the same nickname for a long time.
Klaus, you fall into the category for having an awesome reputation and being one of the most accomplished big wall climbers out there. Don't take away from your reputation by posting incorrect information. What you wrote about me using ASCA hangers based in no fact whatsoever.
Or, if you are going to post incorrect info, at least try to hide behind a fake user name.
I would like keep respecting what you write on this forum just like a lot of other people would.
Or, if you dont care, ignore what i just said above, slander me back, and carry on...
This is an open forum. if you want, you can slander folks. or you can pass on useful info, usefull beta, funny stuff etc.
klaus, you have done so many awesome climbs and have a cool (dark) sense of humor, i think myself and the rest of the forum would much rather hear about those than listening to you spread incorrect info

There have been some posts deleted from this thread. Some because somebody found out a person user name and password, then posted fake posts. the real user deleted the fake posts.
a few other posts were deleted because they clearly violed a the forum policy which i reposted below.
Look, i hate censoring stuff. and i think most people here would agree that the SuperTopo forum is one of, if not the most unmoderated climbing forums out there.

and to get more off topic...
one of my two favorite new stories to the big walls book were from the hotrod history:
[klaus] was especially inhibition-free as he had been working hard all day long—making mixed drinks. All of sudden he lurches up to pee, stumbles to the edge of the ledge, and falls off. I just remember standing on Ahwahnee Ledge in total blackness, not tied in to any safety line, watching the light from Klaus’s headlamp falling a thousand feet to the ground. I was thinking, ‘bummer, there goes the only bitchin’ wall partner I ever met.’ A couple minutes later, out of the darkness, I saw this hand reach up and clamp the ledge. Klaus, wearing the grimmest face I’ve ever seen, mantels back to safety. Turned out he had tied the lead line loosely around his waist and had just sailed off the ledge for a twenty-five footer. Without ascenders or any gear he just clawed his way back up the free-air rope to the ledge.”The excitement continued the next morning when the two pitons Rasmussen was hauling off pulled. The bags dropped four feet and placed the team’s entire livelihood on one belay bolt. Klaus recalls, “Weighing my options, I started to lead instead of drilling another belay bolt. I figured I’d feel better just getting some solid gear in between us. However, the next pitch, “Go for the Olde,” proved to be the crux of the route with plenty of rotten hooking and nothing bomber to speak of.” The two named the route after the popular Ministry tape they played during the ascent.
