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.

Nice to see other VA boys on CC.com! Got any old photos of the gendarme?

 

Billy, I know about your roots! :eveeel: Sorry to say, I didn't take any pics of the old Gendarme before it fell.

Or are you referring to the climbing store? :crazy:

Man, this flatbed scanner has launched me into a nostalgia trip. I have to admit, I'm partial to black and white photography... Here's some more shots from Seneca circa 1979-80:

I remember topping out on a slippery .10 arete with sketchy gear at Seneca, to encounter a wedding party: complete with full families and in formal regalia, just taking their vows.

 

The couple and the preacher had climbed up, and the rest of the party had hiked around.

 

We got a glass of wine!
