ken4ord Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 I am sure he would sign your belly. It probably wouldn't be the first time he signed a belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Rock Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Make your jokes and have fun kidding, but tell who has had as much of an influence on modern rock climbing, and where the sport is today? I wish I could be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could be there. Â Lots of people. Please. Don't make me start a list. Ever hear of Charlie Porter, Jim Bridwell, Royal Robbins, John Salethe, John Leonard, Bestor Robingson, Yvon Chouinard, Steve Roper just a start all had "more influance" IMO than John. Those are folks just for the Yosemite area alone. Don't start on the rest of the country and guys like Art Gran, Henry Barber etc etc etc. Â That is not to denigrate JL, he may be one of the best writers of the genre IMO. I absolutley love his stuff. Â Better bring a new sharpie Muff!! Â Regards: Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Rock Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Precisely my point, Bill. John belongs on a rather short list of climbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could be there. I am not in any way joking at all. If there is a climber that I IDOLIZE ADMIRE WOULD BE A GROUPY FOR it would and is hands DOWN JOHN LONG. he is atracktive intelligent, humerus, and he has climbed and done everything. I would truely be hounerd if he would sign my belly although I would probably not be able to get the request out of my mouth standing in front of him. I am trying to work out a plan to be there and if I can I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmknight Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Sorry Muffy, but climbing groupies are pitiful. I enjoy hearing some tall tales but i am sure you would be selling yourself short trying to emulate Largo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
