Ojai Alex said:
I’ve thought about doing a trip report for it, but I’ve never done one. Plus, other people on here post (and don’t post...) much more gnar stuff, so it’s a little embarrassing. Much more Gnar?
Forget about that Alex! That looks like some powerful climbing.
Start posting up more of your stuff please!!!

And great to see the Kingsbury offerings are still working.

Some highlights I had missed over the years from this thread:
Like this one from Gonzo Chemist of Sonja on Morongo Man out at Josh.
That thing is full on hands and fist (or cupped hands and fist), or so I am told. How often do we see a woman crushing this thing, or anyone for that matter?
And this one, from Pete C, of some undesignated talented young woman giving a trad master class on Gong Show roof:
Or this terrific shot of V on Enema Crack:
(looks like in his pajamas!)
 All three of these seem to me to be climbs that are rarely photographed. Very cool!

The iconic MOUNTAIN magazine cover, Separate Reality, Ray Jardine:
........................................
And some repeats from my not so secret stash:
A young Tarbaby, Climb of the Century, 1982:
Walling photo
Me and my favorite blue jeans, Le Toit, Tahquitz, 1983:
Mari & TBust, Windfall, Tower of the Cosmic Gods, Yos, 1983:
Headless cowboy, Mesmerized, TM, 1990s:
Prod, just poking up out of the short roof at the very top, West Face of Castleton, direct finish, 1990s:
Some of us old forum hands may remember BlackBird:
(probably an incipient crack in that roof somewhere … Oh, her foot is in a crack)

Hey Friend ... You still following this thread?
A buddy of mine in California, still in great shape, would be very interested to talk with you about bouldering at Black Mountain.
The messaging function on this forum is kaput.
Would you mind sending me a regular e-mail so I can see about hooking the two of you up?

The "tompaulrandall" instagram also has a great little video of him campusing the Crack House. Humbling, to say the least.

I can't remember the name of this Gunks climb. Some oddball short bombay chimney with crack in the back out a roof. Not nearly as cool as any image in the thread. I just felt the Gunks needed some representation. Gotta find better pix.
