stillcrankin Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 OK Mr Off_White, here’s another B&W photo. This is at the top of the 2nd pitch of Reeds Direct in 1974. This might have been the time Timson, Bob Crawford and I did all three pitches when Timson gave Crawford a bunch of slack on the desperate 3rd pitch off-width. 1 Quote
Off_White Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 I just read that story the other day, it was in the NWMJ I think, first issue. Quote
stillcrankin Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Timson, on that same fateful day in the Reeds Pinnacle parking area before heading up. Quote
Off_White Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 While we're at Reeds Pinnacle, here's Stone Groove - Thanksgiving 76 or 77. One of those climbs where I was so pumped I had to have someone else untie my knot. Fortunately the upper crack was wide enough I could just stuff my blood engorged forearms into the crack and it was a perfect fit. Quote
stillcrankin Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Jeebus! That is an AWSOME picture! Beautiful black and white with perfect clarity. EB’s. Perlon and webbing slung hexes and stoppers. Maybe even a MOAC. Hole in the seat of your pants. Doesn’t get much better than that. You’re throwing down some beauties, Mr. Off_White. I still can’t believe we never crossed paths. Here’s another Reeds area climb on the far left side. Probably 1974 or so. The Left Side of the Remnant. A burly, overhanging, hard to protect, wide, horror show. Perfect. What could possibly go wrong. 1 Quote
stillcrankin Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 num1mc, is this the camper you remember? I’m still trying to figure out who you are. Are you in that Tuolumne hacky circle picture I posted? Quote

stillcrankin Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Negative, Mr max. That picture was taken on the Truckee River between Reno and Truckee. There’s actually a little crack climbing area in the cliffs in the background but I can’t remember what it’s called. Quote

JasonG Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 These are all great photos, but I'm especially liking the B&Ws by @Off_White! I can't keep all these people and their nicknames straight though. Quote
