He'll probably kill me when he gets back because he had to crawl to that Stanford place.

Said he used to boulder around the Linear Accelerator, hope he didn't catch and errant Quarks of 1/3 spin.
Canada College also.
Gotta get me some white bell bottoms.

Ron covered lots of cool climbs in his show. Roughly:
 10 minute excerpt from Masters of Stone videos (Clash of the Titans, Midnight Lightning, Thriller, After Midnight, Crossroads, Magic Line, Peace, ...)
 tray of slides from the Valley and Tuolumne. Actually this started with his first backpacking trip to the Sierras, and leading Surrealistic Pillar Direct at Lover's Leap at age 14 in blue Robbins boots, with hexes. Some of Galen Rowell's shots of Ron on Astroman from the Sports Illustrated article. A few from the Shield with Dale Bard, and the FA of New Jersey Turnpike. Tales of Power, Separate Reality, Heaven.
 tray of slides from the first ascent of Uli Biaho in Pakistan, 1979. Beautiful granite up there, nice bivvies, and views - eventually above Trango Tower!
 15 minute excerpt from the Return to Balance movie. You may have seen this on PBS - Tuolumne bouldering, Lunatic Fringe, Crimson Cringe, Black Angel, Sacred Fire, ...
 a few questions/answers and some hanging out!
Lots of fun stories from the first/free ascents of some of the Valley classics.

Great show. Great persona. Humble. Inspiring photos and attitude towards life.
