Bronco Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Since I will be out of town next week, I hereby take it upon myself to award next week's Alpine Buddy Award to...........drum roll please,..........Ray "caveman" Borbon! If you have ever climbed, partied, bushwacked or chopped with Ray you already know he deserves it, but, for those of you that haven't (and it's probably just a matter of you not being out there enough) here are some highlights from a Gaper point of view: great sense of humor, drinks beer (or whatever's handy) like nobody's business, climbs hard when appropriate, also kinda hard to explain, but, he's got a way with giving advice on climbing without sounding critical, judgemental or condescending, just encouraging like he really gives a crap. Oh yeah, bold with marginal (IMO) pro, generous with his gear and personal beta, let's you know if you're doing something that could lead to a big ass scar, willing to give any partners a try, climbs/hangs out with legends (more famous climbers than me), fixing to take over Micro Soft...... anthing I left out?

texplorer Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 an admirable description, and he shares his horsecock too. Now that is a real man. Quote
Greg_W Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 I've seen him throttle a snafflehound to death, stuff it in a crack that was too big for our largest cam, clip a draw to it and go...No shit, man. Quote
