I'm not sure what right hand, left foot variation qualifies for Expansion Chamber, but Dan Mchale pretty much had this corner wired in 1970. He was bouldering in the mid 12's at the Time. The guy was amazing. I know the holds at Stony kind of change, from time to time, but he had a more direct way up Masters of Reality with a Killer Mantle at the Top, if not 5.12 close to it. He came out to the left of the Ear, up the middle of the Ear or out Right. When I knew him He didn't have a campus board but a Mantle Board where He could change the angle of the Mantle. The boy could definitely Mantle.

jw35 I believe that. Most of the stuff on the S. W. corner of B-1 was getting done before I got there.

JW35.....

Things change... memories fade.... the ground is now about 24 inches lower than it was just 10 years ago....

It takes 4 moves to get to the "starting" moves of Pink Floyd.

You should come on out and see.

Nice video Pyro...

Tuesday????

you beat me to it Frumy.
any hoot enjoy the top-rope set up and climb

red Bolt tower is an intermediate Top-rope level set up.
you need a 70m rope three stoppers 40ft of cord and a yellow/red camelot.

great climb along with views temp's are perfect.

Dan McHale... Heard stories about him from my dad, who lived with him in the late 60s early 70s. Barefoot runs in the snow, pull ups till failure every day, bouldering on storefront rock facade, sounded like a strong dude. If you see him, ask if he remembers Blair Glenn, my dad.

Hey, anyone going to be around Thursday noonish/early-afteroonish that might be willing to show the muppet and me around Stoney Point while we're out here in L.A.?

Would be so cool to see where Dolt tooled around. ")

Lila....

I get there about 5:15 .... after work thing.

People do start showing about 2 pm.....

anyone over 45 will know who your Dad was.

Famous photo of him, climbing up B1, the downclimbing route, with a huge rock in one hand.

It was the style of the time.

Hope to meet you.
