Was fondling through some old slides and thought this one would be good as it was the center fold image for an issue of Summit back in the mid 80s.

Me on Karate, 1983. I think I had 3 cams back then, the rest were hexes and stoppers. PA rock shoes and white painter pants. Forrest swami, and home sewn leg loops.

My wife Sue at Smith, '82. Not many women climbers back then, I was one of the lucky ones.

My buddy Mark L., leading Son of Sam, Yosemite Apron 1982? with stoppers and Fierys. That thing is a *lot* easier with small cams.

Well hell yes, I have climbed 30 times probably, my favorite 30 foot route! although I thin 5.9+ is better (a little sandbag never hurt anyone, well maybe?)
