I remember Spencer as a really good climber in the mid-'70s. Remember that cross country ski trip when Joan Horner forgot her sleeping bag and between the rest of us men (well, boys, really) somehow you were the one who came to her rescue by sharing your sleeping bag with her? It's the most enduring memory of that trip for me. Happy Birthday!

Hope your B-Day is extra special, perhaps a nice hike in the woods or pulling down at a crag.

Leonard, thanks for teaching me the "Eldo" pullups back in Rasta Cruz, maybe '86?

All the best,

Hey Spencer, happy birthday man. I remember bouldering with you and some other folk at Chatsworth back in the '70s. Mentoring you and helping you develop as a climber--who better to impart my vast knowledge of climbing to than you, the world's most successful protege. Snatch the pebbles from my hand, baby!

Thanks for the birthday greetings everyone. Luckily I was off for a hike around the Three Sisters that week in celebration.

Randy, cool to see that image of the Course and Buggy FA day; I didn't recall any photo documentation of the event. The loose shwag rock in the photo (and on FAA day) are markedly different from what one sees day. Know what I mean?

Happy Birthday Spencer!
As a dirtbag bloke who did the second FA of Figures and I believe third FA of Course and Buggy I salute the brilliance of your climbing and your routes.
Rock on big guy!
