johnny, wrong approach, that will certainly elicit an ad hominem, with a characteristic avuncular approach.
A simple "cool tundra" would suffice.

Just now first time seeing this thread...
Kauk goes down and places a bunch of A4 sh-it. The final piton...
I think I still have coffee in my nose.
Werner you always tell it straight up.
Nice Yarn.

Got to wonder if this is the first time that Werner claimed something was twelve inches long?

Piton Ron!
You of all people(with that moniker/handle)should know that WB was referring to the "Long Dong" piton...crafted by either the Dolt or Coonyard, bitd.
Now, was it Werners long dong, or was it Ron's long dong? It obviously wasn't Diamond Dave's long dong, since Werner was describing to him, in detail, just how long of a dong it was, etc.
Just ask Brawny "Hey, do you have a long dong?"...end of conversation.

As a veteran rock star, the man knew the value of falling for the "it's longer than you think" rationale! LOL

TripL7,
I don't believe long med is the same as a long dong. It's much shorter...

ec!
You are correct. I missed that(med.)...plus I believe the 'Long Dong' arrow's were about 14" but not positive about that. Who did make them back then, do you remember ec?
Well, none the less, it was a great tale of daring do from way back when. To bad Werner wasn't taking pics back then. Suppose with G.R. taking care of thatt aspect of things it wasn't given much consideration(and like me, WB prob didn't own a camera).
Chinchen...that doesn't appear/look like a gold carrabiner to me. Looks like it is of the typical aluminum variety. But most likely it is my computer. How has Joe been treating you? That was a great TR on Crystal Crag by the way.
They must have been gold plated vs. gold. A solid gold biner would way in somewhere close to 12-16 0z. And be worth a hefty some at close to $1300.00 an Oz.

That's a great storey. I'm guessing this was long enough ago that some, if not all of it could be accomplished with photoshop? Even if it was just to erase a rope holding David.

Yea, Gold plated.
Joe is a great boss. His company is a pretty cool place to work.

that was a classic week. i remember that shoot. i carried a pack of gear up to the west face for the shoot that day.
got a picture of dave hanging out and when i did one of his people said, "no pictures"..
DLR got psyched on climbing and came to jtree a year or so later for a few days at a time, and would hire Kauk to take him climbing. I got to tag along on a coupe of those days and had dinner with Dave and Ron one night, DLR was a normal guy away from the bright lights, big city..

That was lame on "his people's" part...sounds like DLR is an OK guy. Gotta hand it to him for hangin it out there over HD. No big deal for a climber, but for someone with little 'exposure experience' that's hefty in my book.
the kid-Thanks for the insight!

Diamond Dave is running some bad arm flab.
Almost Eagle chick caliber.
He's pretty old, though, right? Geezer material?
