Fat..... no way! Juan is now only a lurker.
He is never seen around those parts anymore. The photos he posted were from BITD....
If we see him we will post up some photos.

I have stood in front of a water blast crew and defended boulder one in the early 90's. They called the police on me.
I also have gone after film crews f*#king up the rocks.
As for painting over Graffiti I have never touched Boulder one or Turlock.
All my painting except for some on Mozarts was done on the summit boulder field.
I was their last Friday and it is looking really bad again.
When I can do the pigs again I shall appear.

Wow,
So cool to see pics of where I cut my climbing teeth. Haven't been there in probably 13 years.
Such fond memories of bouldering with Kamps, Wilson, Guy, Forrest and Dimitry, amongst others. Bob showed me so many crazy ass traverses with some seriously contrived and contorted body positions.
What's with all the pads? Didn't have that stuff BITD. Every body should have the full experience of pitching off onto the hard dirt below Endo Boy, Yobo mantle or the like!
Also, I love how Stoney just used the B scale. So much easier to figure out ratings. If it was 5.11 or under, it could be done. If it was B1 or B1+, it would take a lot of work, but it could be done. If it was B2 or B3, it most likely was impossible :) Then again, the vibe was more like three classes of problems. I can do it, I might be able to do it, or no F-ing way I can do it.

I love people that come out to Stoney and then complain about having to do 'Eliminates'. I have been climbing there for 37 years! How in the hell am I supposed to keep things interesting unless we start eliminating the easy holds. Bouldering is a game best played with a tightly structured set of rules.
'That hold's off!'.

Pumping the Three Pigs! If I could Just pump that out I could climb 5.10. That was my thinking long ago. I remember many days in the summer after work we would boulder at Stoney, Lots of history. It was a dump then and still today. I guess that’s what makes it Cool.

I noticed that a key hold to the left of three pigs is now gone. Was that done during the water blasting. I used to be able to crank up and avoid using the first three holes. If it was water blasting who the f*#k did it?

BBA good shots. You take em?
The one legged man is sort of famous, I can't remember his name. I did see a old LA Times article about him, he was climbing, leading, "Finger Tip" at Taquitz.
I love the "White Dude" graffiti, wish we could preserve some of it. After the last fire we found some: "Ken" "Don" "John" "1970" .......

Swelley..
Good memory, but it's Jim Gorin with the one leg.
I found a Sierra Club historical persons site.
Jim had a comment that he could climb better with one leg cause he did not have the extra weight hanging on him. Ha Ha aha .....
Ray is his bro, both were long time climbers, Sierra Club members.
Right above there listings is one for "K. Goodykuntz" now that is a name I seem to remember from BITD.
