Yes Chez,
I am talking again!
In fact this whole presentation, from photo editing to uploading to posting was done with voice-activated software.
Totally hands-free, very tedious, time-consuming and a massive pain in the asss. But rewarding, for sure.

Suddenly I'm in love with two young women I don't even know, and then there's the expansive rush of juice from all the views and feel of the clean, bright, knobby rock made for us to go and go over it.
Don't know how much more alive one can be than in that place..

Wow is right!
Super nice to hear from you Bruce.
Those were the days, no? Good living; the best really.
It was fun to go back this year and to see a few of the usual suspects: Stockwell, Falkenstein, Messick, Kauk, Yerian.
Steve W asked who the people are from the pictures.
Myself, Helga, Maz, Carter, Robinson, Haan:

I’m very grateful to have been able to do some approaching and climb those 5.7s and 5.8s !!!
In answer to your question Dr. F:
These activities in no way indicate the complexion of my daily experience. Pulling something like this off requires lots of pain management and I now have far more false starts than successes. For example, I began and finished this trip by using a wheelchair. Much thanks to Peter Haan for helping out with that strategy.
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.
