When you drive South out of Zion, look at the Eagle Crags from Springdale. The largest spire looks like a headless Aunt Jemima.

That rocks! Thanks Dru, for the link.

I cant believe no ones brought this guy up, and you guys call yourselves climbers. Pfft!

This was available until recently on chesslerbooks.com with the notation that it was going to be released on dvd in the fall of 2005. Obviously this did not happen and I have just emailed chessler to see what info he has. I have a copy of the vhs and would love a dvd. El capitan and On the rocks are my two all time favorite vids EVER. Good stuff.

- Tore down upper part of our old chimney - Upgraded the 1950's shades on the windows in the front room - Got my Necromancer to level 67 and a nice cloak from Arcstone.

I love that ominous and creepy dark ambient classical from some obscure composer that is used on the Paul Padula film El Capitan. Does anyone know if that stuff is available or have any linkys? Cheers

This title thread reminded me of something completely off topic but non the less interesting as a break from the tedious drama. Infinite Briss And this! Infinite Briss II

"Crackle, Mitch, and pop." actually.

What about long term? I have heard that after a while they begin to revert back but even at a faster rate. Too creepy for me, I will stick with foureyes.

Search results sans "rum for you."

Getting my Necro to level 67 or 68 and hopefully keyed for BoT and Old Sebelis. I might play my Warrior a bit too, got good gear on him and I really want 70 to get my hate augs. Mebbe a run with Jumar or a hike up Granite Mtn. Nothing crazy but fun for sure!

Zion... ...ditch the Ditch.

We all know what that means.

Hmm I keep getting the same shacknet.nu password request...WTF am I missing?

DUDE that rocks! Grats to her and her new toy. Sadly I just bought some Plat online and bought my horse. Simple solutions for me. I respect he ingenuity in the difficult world of MMORPG's Plus my wife would have not been happy.

OK, three more from me...the last on I will edit in. Early in 1985, I had just discovered Index and we set about to do the most audacious thing we could find that we could do...the Narrow Arrow Standard. I it was scary and new and was our big obsession. Pope posing in the baking heat at the base of Rixons pinnacle in 1988. We had just driven from Tacoma that night on the way to my job in Zion and made a stop over in the Valley. In 1986, the big goal was Dr Leakey, I was pretty stoked when I was able to do the upper moves for the first time, I even ripped my polypro taking falls! wOOT!

This happened after I left I believe. Also, the Tower had a bit of a bolt "wars" after a certain local climber bolted a bunch of aretes and shallow corners, leaving ropes in place for days much to the angst of the management. I think they drafted a new bolting policy soon thereafter.

In closing for the moment, may I present Devils Tower 1987.

Ok three more semi relavent images, ones for skeezix, the rest for what they are worth. Scott Croll and I "helping" a doll we found in the parking lot, climb the back side of the Thimble (5.3) in the Needles, South Dakota. The doll was solen from my bike rack at a grocery store later that day (Summer 1987) One the job in the Frank Church River of No return Wilderness, Idaho. 1988 (Best job I EVER had) Popes first time jugging, city park 1985.

Coupla more scans from the "vaults". Takao chilling at the parking lot at Castle Rock sometime around 1988, some of you will know him and smile. Pope on Last Rites in Kolob Canyons in 1988.

Ok, I finally got a new flatbed scanner that actually does Ok slides. Some '80's memories incoming First free attempt on Last Rites in Kolob Canyon 1985 Pope on Rixons left or "west" I believe. 1988 Seth Pierce on the FA of Skinny Puppy, Devils Tower, 1987 Scott Croll, for those that remember him. Black hills, Needles, 1987 ...more to follow as I find the slides.

This ones already in the gallery but may as well be brought to the fore front. Me at Devils Tower in 1987. What a killer job, I got my cake and could eat it too.

Welcome to the new age. We're beyond hope...the end is near. Stay tuned for a finely worded memo from the MAN.
