    True dat about being totally inept at computers and the internet. He wasn’t unlike a lot of people his age and generation. 
     

    Not sure what WF is.

    Wow! Hadn’t seen this before.
     

    Bridwell was bad-ass and a really good guy. He was a lover not a fighter. I never saw him get mad at anyone.

     

    Just don't stop his kid from busting beer bottles

    Phoenix comp thing might have been the Wills Young incident.  Allegedly, Bridwells son Layton (pre teen maybe then?) is throwing rocks at tents or some shit in the campground. Wills tells him to knock that shit off.  Son goes and tells Bridwell, who is probably already drunk, that some mean man said something to him.  Bridwell finds Wills and I'm pretty sure he clubs him in the mouth with a beer bottle, sucker style.  Lot's of dental work later for Wills.  Just another example of Bridwell being a drunk asshole without limits.  And it only got worse later on in his life until he became intolerable except by the boot licking few.  By the way, Wills is like 5'5" and 130#.  The mighty Bird needed a bottle for that?  Fuck him.  Probably still signing stuff in the afterlife. /rant

    “We can’t accept any level of racism or discrimination in our community. We are still stuck in the ‘good ole boys club’ of climbing, and it’s past time for a change.”

    So you know that my words are backed with action, I am stepping aside as publisher and editor in chief and empowering the new internal leadership with the tools they need to make the climbing community a better, more inclusive place for everyone. I urge you to support these efforts, because at this critical time in our country we need everyone pulling in the same direction and on the right side of history.

    To the climbing community, I sincerely apologize, and am honored to have the opportunity to help affect change.

     

    Sincerely,

    Duane Raleigh

    Marmot was a sad deal. I used to go there almost weekly when I was in high school to drool over gear. I think what happened there was complicated. Sometimes owners of businesses or slow to adapt and accept how things are changing. In talking with one employee there the owner apparently didn't want to spend money on advertising. I also think the reality is the location became terrible to get to. The parking was horrible and the traffic was worse. What they really needed to do was move, and I suspect that is part of the problem with SA. 

    I don't think any of that had to anything to do with Marmot closing.  Lock was dead within a year of closing of cancer.

    "Mikey's Gully" thin, but in.     "Mikey Likes It" not quite touching down.    We didn't look at Narada Falls.

    Never really knew what we climbed, but looking at the photo, that is what John Tarver, myself and Russel Erikson climbed back on Saturday January 12, 1980.   We were young, I was the old guy at 19, and John and Russ were 18.

     

    And we had a great time in the Longmire restaurant before the climb listening to a coked up Dr Elliot Openheim MD spew and spray about a whole variety of climbing stuff to his unfortunate climbing and breakfast partner.

     

    And no, I'm not scared of Elliot reading this and suing me for slander for refering to him as likely being coked up.  A quick google search will tell anybody all they need to know about this former member of the Seattle climbing community.

  6. Did anybody climbing the north face of Vesper after Sam Sayers went missing notice this object photographed in late October?  It seems to be located on the north face a pitch or so above the major traverse ledge and to the west of the Weigelt corner.  The photo was taken from the Ragged Edge, and there are some (who I don't agree with) who feel this may be Sam's remains.
