Who's brave enough to post a recent picture of themselves? Not a hero shot of you on some sick route from 60 feet away either. Post something that would allow people to recognize you at the crag/sushi bar. (no crotch shots Ouch!)
I'll even go first... (this is from my bachelor party... we rented a bus to cart our drunk asses around)

Crimpie, you must have been hitting the sauce pretty hard!
I never said you looked older in real life, I said you looked like a 25 year old supermodel in that pic.
And I'll NEVER forgive you for beating me up and pushing me in the creek at Fosters.
Nita, don't worry, the path to goddess status is not via flattery. Yes those are both me. I gained a lot of weight during Chemo, go figure. The goofing aroudn pic is several years ago, the fat one is from this past summer, 18 pounds heavier.

My cat look implies that there was a Halloween party to attend in Yosemite, and alls I had in my truck that I could MacGuyver up for the occasion was a sweat suit, a bag of make up, and a big sock.
Like a proper lazy cat, I lay low and keep still so that I don't need to call up any of my nine lives or worry about which way that I land.
I had to pick from the few photos I already had on photobucket, since I'm too lazy to ever upload them off of my camera.

Ha, we were using a densely packed 10'x10'x20' line of leaves as a pad back in the day for a highball roof problem called 'Leaves of the Failing Faith'. We each took about 20+ rides into them. Adam ended up taking off a key block after the FA and we weren't sure which was going to emerge from the pile, him or the block...

The Cancer Society here has a program called "Balding for Dollars". The idea is that you get friends and colleagues and relatives to pledge money, then you get scalped. So for a while you look a bit like the popular stereotype of someone with cancer. And the Cancer Society raises a bunch of money.
They're quite good at getting people to volunteer, particularly attractive young women.
Another is "Jail and Bail", where they get the police to come and drag you away from work (with the connivance of your employer), and you're held until your friends ransom you. If they do. They usually do this to prominent figures, and it's broadcast on the CBC, for the amusement of all.

Off and bvb, Adam is a well-studied technophobe and won't be posting up anytime soon. Here's a shot of him when he was 14 down in SoIll in an area long since closed to climbing.
(Scanned from the very first generation of color laser prints...)
[ Note: And contrary to the revisionist history proffered by some commercial slackline interests, Adam, down in Southern Illinois in the mid-70's, was very much responsible for the birth of what is now called slacklining back when he was only 16... ]

I hardly have any pictures of me climbing but I'll scan the couple I do have and put them up (someone please remind me, what's the best way to post a pic).
I have one of myself and another of Claude Fiddler bouldering in the Arboretum at Columbia College (Tuolumne County) in 1975. Some of me bouldering on Mt Diablo, and one or two of me on the Mexican volcanoes, along with a group shot taken on Orizaba, or is it Popo? (Ed, take note, Rob Grandfield will be in the pic, say hello to him for me and tell him I will look him up in July/August after I move back home).
In the meantime, this will have to do I guess.

There's a sweet story about the Sergeant Pepper's album cover. The legal department told the Beatles that they had to get permission from all those who were living, to print their picture. (Most were famous, or infamous.)
So they wrote a nice letter to all the people in the collage, asking if it was ok. One of the people was Mae West - I think she's the blonde on the right. She wrote back, saying "What would I be doing in a lonely heart's club?"
But in the end she agreed.

Todd,
Nice to see you and the fam. You win, there's no way 500 desert towers could compete with the past, present and future happiness encompassed in that family shot.
On another note, seeing all of you made me REALLY want to come to the Sushifest. I was ready to drop the cash and fly to wherever, whenever. Unfortunately, after looking back through 1000 posts, I realized that it's on 4/20. I have a trip planned that weekend with people from 3 different states and it's not movable. (at least it's a climbing trip) Anyway, I just wanted to say that I will be there in spirit.
Take lots of pictures...

Wow, I'm thinking this is the best thread I've ever been part of. What shines through all the remarkable diversity is the passion climbers seem to take with them along the way. Hair thins, faces wrinkle, minds fog over but the heart still longs for the Big Experience, the Big Love, the feeling of being alive and sharing it too.

Me after having climbed "Only Blueberries" (5.8) in the Lofoten Islands in Norway in 2004. The route is mentioned in this article by Ed Webster http://www.americanalpineclub.org/AAJO/pdfs/1994/webste_lofoten1994_90-95.pdf The hand jams were a bit hard on my soft skin but I was happy anyways.
The second picture (my photo and camera) is from a climbing competition in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2005. I had the pleasure
of being the driver for those people from Stockholm. The guy in the middle is Simon Brismo who managed a repeat of Dreamtime
(8b+) at Cresciano, Switzerland last summer.
The third picture shows the family of my brother. All of them are climbers, his wife being from China.

i was wondering and i thought you might be, but i wasn't sure, i keep meaning to email you and ask.
YES that's my family!!! i didn't start going till my grandma brought me when i was ten, cuz my parents didn't go.
sometimes in the meadows, my grandma still asks, sometimes, "remember nita and andy i wonder whatever happened to them?"
DOOOD!!!!
at my grandma's house, there is a picture of you with us, bringing my tenth birthday cake! my first double digit!!! you put m&m's on it! i never ever forgot. next time i go over there i'll borrow the pics and find a scanner.
oh my gosh! my cousin and i thought you were the coolest EVER - remember when you showed us your tent cabin and read us that story? we were SO flattered by your attention and wanted to be just like you. You TOTALLY inspired us and both of us worked in yosemite when we were older - me in the valley and my cuz @ white wolf.

she loves you too! i will call her a little later today and pass on your message - should i pass on your email address too? my grandma is totally savvy and hip! she totally uses the internet.
and as for those pics - well i think you look pretty! but how about if i email them to you FIRST and then if you like, YOU can post? i will be there for easter in a couple of weeks - she loves for us to come to her church (episcopal! none of that conservative evangelical stuff for our fam!) and i will borrow them and find a scanner.

so i'll be at g.ma's in a couple of weeks - expect them around easter, 'kay?
do you ever go to the meadows? i forget what dates we're goin' next summer but if you're there at the same time you guys should come hang with us!!!
i'll give my g-ma your email addy - is that okay? i'm sure she'd LOVE to hear from you. we love you too! seriously i wanted to be just like you! i havn't worked in the meadows, it has never worked with my schedule - i almost got a job there when i worked in yos but i had to leave before they closed so they gave me a job cashiering in the valley... i still kinda wanna do time in the meadows but i am think i'm doing other stuff this summer... and i don't really fit in with the climber/stoner crowd at all, i'm too dorky for them!

L is about 27 years old BTW, look at the pic and see if you don't agree.
... just waiting for L to give consent...

I think if we all got together, as some of us will at the Sushifest, for the most part, excepting those of us who've been acquainted for 30 years, for the most part we'd lots of us never really have the time to put it all together per our Supertopo names, real names, and personalities.
You know, what with the medium somewhat dictating the flavor of the interaction, the whole cyberspace thing creates an ambience unlikely to be reflected quite the same way on the "outside". This forum is a fantastically mercurial environment with lots of folks chiming in on the same thought stream sometimes simultaneously and often in kaleidoscopic fashion.
Were we all to get together at once, we'd therefore meet on fresh terms and it would flow just fine in that sense because this is such a diverse yet cohesively bonded group here, with a common set of experiences and natural values, but it would be different.
Like me fer instance, in real time I'm actually rather sedate, staid, even...

Jaaaaaysus, some great pix. Damn I wish I had taken a camera along more times than I did.
I agree, this is the best thread. I didn't climb with many of you people, though I hung with several of you and shared beers and joints at Camp 4, but it is great to see all of you people looking healthy.
Could someone please get Vern to get Fiddler involved in this, and what about Jim Keating? About a year ago Roy McClenahan sent me contact details for Claude and we e-mailed each other once, and now I have to get off my proverbial asssss and get ahold of him and Jimbo. What about Tom Carter?
Perhaps I can meet up with some of you people thi summer in the Meadows (if I make it there - I should).
Sort of sad I am going to miss the Sushifest.

Cybele- you should post the one of you from the patagucci catalog a few seasons back!
Stzzo- I did the via ferrata @ Nelson before I started climbing... and thought it was kinda fun. It can be a fun thing for non-climbers. It allows you ro see climbers from a vantage point that's not a butt shot & not a Yosemite/touron/binocular view- which of course instantly made me think "why am I doing the VFwhen I could be doing what that dude over there is doing" (having never climbed also never exposed me to the joys of flailing either)
Unfortunately there was a fatality on it last year...one of the contributing factors to it being on the market.
I hear there's a VF in KY w/a roof. Sounds like it could be worth trying. Apparently VF's are all over Europe, leftover from ww1?2? when they had to move soldiers over mtns en mass.

Common huntsman spider.
http://www.amonline.net.au/factSheets/huntsman_spiders.htm
Supposedly quite docile unless provoked. The word is the bites hurt like hell, but aren't really dangerous. Among the various things in Oz that can bite you, a huntsman is apparently a better choice than many others.

Yes, Phil B, filtering software (or something) also keeps me from seeing most pics on one of my computers. Can't figure out how to turn it off.
Imagine my surprise when I go back to a thread later, and all these pictures appear!
[edit to James Colburn, who said "Some of my fondest memories of Chico are the pot lucks with all the fantastic food and Andy rockin on the acoustic with Mark Wilpolt and Dan Mcglaulphlin. sp?"] -
James, Dan McLaughlin was a buddy of mine from LA, and the only time I spent in Chico was with him after we drove him up there in his old Mustang. Maybe we met at a party or two, 1983/84? What ever happened to Dan? We used to say that the wind would blow a gentle breeze, then when you turned around, Dan would be sitting there with his guitar, looking VERY relaxed, with that sly smile of his.

you should check them out. They ride pretty much like a regular snowboard. Unless you have a background in skiing it takes a bit of practice to get used to skinning and traversing on the split-skis. But once you get it dialed you'll burn your snowshoes!

We need another thread for how we got our nicknames! I think there is/was another well known climber with the name Crusher and I confused everyone. My (now) husband gave me the nickname of the "Corporate Crusher" when we met (when I described my job), then it just got shortened to Crusher, Crusherooni and all sorts of silly take offs. I guess I'm not what you'd expect when you see a post with the name Crusher! : )

By the way, BCD is pretty good with that splitboard thing. See that steep,thin, snowy cleft dropping from the summit, to BCD’s right in the photo taken on Lamark Col? Many will recognize it as the Mendel Ice Couloir, an ultra- classic ice climb. Well, BCD rode it on his splitboard, solo, last spring.
Unbelievable, you say? He’s got pictures.

Almost did once. Claude Fiddler and I went to go do it in October 1976 and got up to Lamarck Col across the valley from the colouir when we got nailed by the first big storm of the season and it turned into a mini-epic.

Thanks, Werner. I get a vicarious thrill with my girl’s successes, as do all the other moms and dads.
Do you remember Marsha as a nurse at Lewis Memorial (1972 and 1975)? She didn't think much of the lot of us, although she knew the type well enough. Now she is a star--even making our new Governor laugh.
The pictures of John, John, you, Peter, Vern, Rick and others I remember well in the Valley are great. All the great looking kids—some of whom are pretty grown up by now—are great too. It does occur to me that I may prove to be the most prolific lurker who wears a suit in all recent photos.

Raydog, thanks. But let me qualify a little. I did not climb Salathe; just belayed for a free climber. I don't include it in "walls I've done." But it is a cool pic so I put it.
Ames is a wonderful climb. I will probably never be able to lead the first X-worthy pitch -- ultra-thin ice, unpro-ed, vertical, to an overhanging move (undercut feet), yikes. The first pitch keeps folks off the route's WI4 second and third pitch. So did I "do" Ames, really? Probably not. So don't get too excited!

It's been way too many pages since we've seen a picture of crimpergirl so here goes. Rather than climbing today we hiked into a super secret hot spring for a soak. Here's a picture of Callie looking a little parched before we found the springs:
Now, the picture you've all been waiting for, crimpergirl after hydrating:
And last, but not least, here's Donini working out a sit start to the hotspring boulders:
And the obligatory group photo:

Not sure, but Mal just posted a pool.
At least self-bumping can no longer inflate the total.
If you add a picture, we'll be up to 554. The all-time record for a single thread was, I believe, 666. (The Stonemaster threads in sequence were well over 1,000.)

But trust me, I AM a hero. To some as yet unknown person. But I'll find him/her someday. I'm certain of it. My kids like me. I'll stop now.

Crusher,
Now I am curious. You were at the stonemaster reunion? I live down the street.
Yep, the same Paul Revere and Yep again. I went to Pali. Dropped out the winter of 76 and moved to Kauai. Here is another from way back. Jack Davis and I boarding our plane for Hawaii. 4 pairs of baggies, two natural progression surfboards, 16o dollars in cash and all the tuna cans I could steal from my Moms kitchen. Stayed two years and only got beat up once.
I moved to Idyllwild in 79, could we have met there?

Hey Tan,
What a coincidence. Natural Progression - wow. Loved to hang out in there and wear their T shirts and fancy myself the little surfer girl. Only body surfed at the time but then got into windsurfing towards the end of high school (on and off for the next 20 years). I wanted to move to Maui but instead went to college right after high school and work right after college (boo!). That photo of you guys at the airport sure brings back great memories of what we looked like then, and what it was all about. I have my Pali cards somewhere, I'll have to dig them out.
I didn't start climbing until about 9 years ago - learned sport and bouldering and don't do much trad (except following and cleaning). Yeah! Stonemasters Reunion - what a blast. My husband (who has climbed for a long time but wasn't in So. Cal during the "formative years" of the Stonemasters) is good friends with some of that crew. Cool!!!

This seems apropos, at least the references to growing older:
My Back Pages (Bob Dylan)
"Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now."
Heaven knows what he was talking about. But I like the version The Byrds did.

Wild Bill--Fabulous shade of fuscia you've got going there! A real chick-magnet.
Was out in Josh on Saturday and KP and I saw two turkey vultures along the roadside--they were trying to steal a roadkill pancake from two ravens. Dang those buzzards are big!
However, in this case, size made no difference: the ravens kept the smashed squirrel delight and the vultures flew off in frustration.

Might I suggest Little Wildhorse Canyon? When I'm not climbing, odds are I'm in Utah or AZ (usually Utah) cruising slot canyons, or canyons in general. Shooting photos, checking out ruins, etc.
More can be seen at www.randywenzel.com - The Southwest 2 gallery, I believe.

Chiloe. . .it was a fun route and for me it was worth the drive but only because I have a fondness for long, easy - moderate routes. We only got 1 day of climbing in due to the rain though but it's just a pleasure being in that area even. BUT, there is a plethora of longish routes out there and many cracks on the North side of the Swell as well. I'm a poet! The rain day was nice because I normally don’t have the opportunity to explore a climbing area like that.
You guys are fun. :-)

I love sharing this stuff with folks. That's how the photography got started. I'll let you know when I'm heading out next. I've been trying to get out for a while, but have just been busy lately.

Nef,
I am often trying to get my partners to wear brighter colors as well. Some of them are accommodating and some couldn't care less until they see the slides and realize that it does make a huge difference in the photos. Earthy tones are great for diner with friends but not for photography. Sheesh, it's almost like they care more about the climbing than the pictures.
I find that helmets are another pain in the ass for climbing photos. They're usually white or red and neither is a great choice for the desert as red blends in and white blows out. Obviously no helmut is the best option for photos... to bad it's the worst option for desert towers.
Glad to know it's not just me badgering my friends about their clothing.

As Piqua pointed out, the pic is on top of standing rock, certainly one of the more entertaining desert towers around. A good buddy and I spent a fall weekend doing Washerwaoman, Monster Tower and Standing Rock. A very good use of a couple days.
Brad, I'm more of a lurker unless I think I have something to add that's somehow been missed by all the erudite scholars that post to ST. I certainly will never forget our little meeting on sunflower tower and our slightly different approaches to analyzing crack difficulties. What a riot. The blond just got married, not to me, sigh, but she's still good fun.
I realize the pic doesn't quite show my face well enough to recognize me, so here is a shot that will not fail in that catagory. This one is at the first belay on Washerwoaman.

i thought the scariest thing about washerwoman, hands down, was the last rappel -- i had loose rocks raining down around me the entire time. and lowering off the edge on the second rappel was pretty sporty, too...those anchors are set, like, two feet off the edge...gotta lean way over and down just to clip 'em! gotta love desert towers. each and every one has a little "survival" moment built in, 'specially if you only do one once every few years. but those drilled angles are plenty bomber imo.

The gold standard for Dirtbags the World over: before ya start thinkin' you're hard core, better check out 'ol Tuckers scene.
Ive heard him called an American Legend...hmm.
Here's lookin at ya Tucker - best climbing partner I ever had.
I was there when he nearly tore his ear off at the base of Elephant rock and I was in JTree when he showed up on his frickin' bike having ridden it from like the SF bay, with his gear.
Good Friend - Todd Gordon's thread was awesome.

I just caught Michael Hjorth’s post on climbing in Gothenberg, Sweden. I really like that city, with the cool industrial port, water taxis, and the main shopping street with unique shops. A very pleasant place to visit (with Volvo’s diesel truck business, there are regular conferences there that all the diesel geeks like to attend. Everyone thinks we are roughing it.)
The first time I visited your country, I flew to Stockholm and spent the weekend doing the old city tourist thing and poked around the Vasa Museum, which clearly illustrates why Monarchs should not interfere in the design of ships. Funny that its purpose was to keep the Poles in line and it sank in the harbor on its maiden voyage-—there is joke in there somewhere. I stayed in one of the hotels right on the water, across from the old city. Very pretty.
I also quickly realized that Swedes don’t sound like Minnesotans: they sound like TV news casters. I wonder why Minnesotans talk the way they do?
I then drove from Stockholm to Gothenberg. I had expected to see some of your country. Instead I saw the highway as if from Ann Arbor to Grand Rapids, Michigan-—a fine highway cut through a dense forest. Man, the glaciers cleaned Sweden’s clock on that last run.
I stayed the night in Jönköping on Lake Vättern. It was a Sunday night, and I was a little worried that I might not find a place to eat. No worries, the receptionist tells me.
“The ‘Twin Cities’ is open," she says.
I startle a bit, and ask “You mean, like in Minnesota?”
She points the way. The place is a nice restaurant serving American classic cuisine and real martinis.
In Gothenberg, I get an afternoon and evening free to poke around, shop for some cool glass and hand woven throws to prove to my bride that I was working all week. As I sit in a sidewalk café with an American colleague, I comment that many of the women are beautiful, just like the Swedish Bikini Team commercial for Old Milwaukee beer, but they don’t have blond hair.
Then I look more closely: blonde roots.

In all honesty, I'm concerned he'll put me to shame on the snow within the next two years.
Last Sunday after skiing we headed up wright's lake road to finish a book report due Monday. When finished, he began bouldering on the outcroppings. As I lay basking in the sun the lad exclaims, "Oooooo, I love the smell of granite! It's been way too long."

This thread is very cool, and I wish to congratulate Piquaclimber for giving the climbing world a Coke! I've known a number of folks on this thread through the years, and it's so cool to see where they are now, what they look like, and so on. Thanks, Piqua!
Here's a shot from the way-back machine (late winter--79?) when my buddy, Dave Hersey, and I, climbed a peak just to the east of San Jacinto, then skied down, climbed up San Jac, then skied down it as well. We'd taken the Tram from Palm Springs, so when we tumbled down the west side of the mountain into Idyllwild, we had no wheels waiting for us. Somewhere below Humber Park, we stuck out our thumbs, and the first car to come along--this huge Mercedes sedan--pulled right over and offered us a lift into town. Turns out it was this guy, Paul Runge--National League umpire--and his family. The sedan was so huge that it fit Paul, his wife, his two kids, his mother-in-law, Dave and me, and all our gear--and we weren't cramped. We went out to Michelli's (I miss that place) together for dinner, and they were very cool. They gave us their home phone number, and offered us tickets to any baseball game anywhere in the country, at any time. We were really appreciative of that, but neither one of us cared squat about baseball. Still...cool of them! Good times.

Gary,
We were headed to the SE Arete from the west side, got lost (didn't go far enough right on Lion's), and ended up doing the punter original route for fear of running out of time.
Now that I know the descent, I'm looking forward to getting back there and doing some of the long routes.
Seems I'm always getting lost out there. We went to do Finger Rock and found out that, oddly enough, Finger Rock Trail does not go to Finger Rock.
We have family in Tucson, so I'm down there often.

OK, this is completely in line with the content of this thread: Supertopoans, family, Vuarnets:
My wife and I in St. Moritz on the second day we ever knew each other (1995). "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"... Indeed it has been. Check out the Vuarnets:
I met Jennifer at a wedding in Switzerland. A few days later, I somehow woke up in Paris. She has that effect on you. Vuarnets, Notre Dame... classic!

Very cool thread. It is great to see who some of you people are.I wish I had high speed to keep up with all the new posts. At times they are being added quicker than I can view them. As per Nita's request I looked for some photos. I don't have very many of myself but, I did find some.
Royal Arches 1972.
Five years later Thanksgiving Ledge.
On the East Side in the early 1980's.
Halloween around 1990.
Before I was married.
Mid 1990's.
Two years ago.
Two months ago with my two youngest kids, Guy and Ruby Jane.
Where have all the years gone? Raydog how are you? I haven't seen you in a while.

Hi Nita,
Here is a picture of Hayley. She is 17, a Junior now and has the best grades in the school. This is from last Christmas.
Roger here is another of my youngest Ruby Jane. She is one of the towns favorites and mine of course. She is three and this is the first time she went on a Merry Go Round. Obviously excited.
Here is another of my son Guy during the same Pt. Reyes trip jumping off sand dunes. He doesn't sit still enough for me to get a good closeup.
Zander nice to see your family. Are you going to show up for the Facelift? You should bring Jaybro with you. Perhaps we need a separate family and or children thread.
Keep the photos coming.

When are you 2 going to take us up to Holcomb and show us around? I promise to leave that other guy at home."
HAAA!! At least my shirt isn't part of the Malbu Barbie collection series! HA! When you get to X-small, let me know....I'll give you one of Debbi's shirts ;)
Gothic phase? I went through that when I was in my 20's.....grow up Jan! Teehee
As for showing you around at Holcomb, you, Guyzo and Rob have been up there before. What's to show? Unless you want to show off your 50 year old ego to us lowly 5.10 climbers ;). Bring Kris but tell him to leave the guns at home....and I'm not talking about Uberbabs. Although I'm sure she has guns bigger than Kris's.

OK, here's my contribution toward 1,000 (these number things are purely arbitrary to me, but as long as the content is compelling, what the hail, it's all in fun).
Getting ready to roll with my stunning bride in the 1963 Fiat Cinquecento right after getting married in Cortona, Italia, la città dell'arte:
Return to Cortona, a few years later, this time with il bambino Colin in tow:
My daughter Hannah, budding thespian, on her 17th birthday last year:
The every smiling Audrey... she was just born that way:
And some climbing stuff. Top of the first climb I ever followed (awesome teacher Dave Bengston on right). It had snowed down to about 1,000 feet above the valley floor that night. When I got up to the belay I recall thinking, "Dang, all these people crawling around down there and they have no clue just how beautiful and cool it is up here!" I was hooked right then and there:
Here's the approach to a climb in Hong Kong... on the ferry to Tung Lung Chau (Island) with partner Clement (note I've now switched to Raybans :-):
On Tung Lung Chau, climbing by the sea... big waves crashing behind you; sweatin', sweatin' and more sweatin'!

I think I got the hang of photobucket! Here's a shot taken in the Palisades and another as it began to snow the night before David Lepange and I climbed the coulior on Gilbert out of South Lake in the Sierra, last Oct. And here are a couple from Rubiioux this morning, 4-1. The last shot is of one of my partners. This guy was amazing. He had every move wired. I figured he must be a local. Climbs all day , every day. What a life!

Thanks, Greg. He remembered you as well--and with real admiration. He had leukemia for several years, and then developed a lung condition requiring a transplant. He got the transplant, but didn't make it out of the ICU (he was in there for four months). I took these shots at Donner Summit between his "cure" from leukemia, and his diagnosis of bronchiolitis. It would be his last day climbing. Thanks for the word.

I finally found an actual climbing picture. Recently, too (relatively). You will notice the top rope--taunt, I might add--and the old EBs. I have since replaced them, after Werner and Bridwell razzed me.
This thread is so large, I had to figure out how to increase my virtual memory--on the computer, that is. Too bad I can't do that to my own memory banks.

What Pagan said, Wootles. Congrats on proving the gods of medicine wrong.
Love hearing stories like that!
I have a slight dent in my forehead from getting kicked in the face during a martial arts class. It shattered my brow bone, messed up my vision--had to have major surgery to repair. Afterwards the doc said I'd have all these complications and need a bone graft from my rib within the year.
I said I don't think so--it's been 20 years and not a single problem.
Well, except for setting off metal detectors at airports cause of all the wire in my head.

I'd like to make another suggestion based on the now filthy degree of time consumed loading up this thread each time. We could all go back and remove the pictures and just describe them instead. You could even make your picture better than it really was. I could say somethin' like, "Here's a close-up of my eye, but had I moved the camera back a bit, you'd have seen my tanned and toned washboard stomach....and of course my other dreamy eye."

Stacks and stacks of headgear...I guess I did. You've got to be prepared for everything up there! One of these days I'll find the picture of me in a similar pose, from the same climb, holding up my blown out undies. Even more fetching. Thanks for the flattery. :-)
I was actually having fun w/ the drill there. It was a breif lovely window in the middle of a bunch of otherwise wet weather (and a light rain on day two), so it wasn't so great for climbing, but it was really great to be outside at one of the prettiest places in Yosemite. And I did get a go on one of the routes on the mini-traxion after it had dried out and before the rain started up again on the second day...And I got to hand out with some great folks. Beats watching TV in the city.

Haha! Kevster - I thought the same thing about the slack line and the pool edge. My one attempt at slacklining sent me to the hospital where I purchased one lovely hot-pink cast and 14 months of no-to-weak climbing. Bad times. The lines are evil. Avoid at all costs.

As I was cleaning out some of my folders I came across this photo of the "Fish Tank" at the PBC in 200.whatever. Note the careful attention to detail in the layout of the bar:
2 tip jars, well labeled
1 Cooler full of ice
1 bright light shining in customer's eyes if broad daylight
Clearly labaled menu of drinks
Babe behind the counter, assisting the proprietor
What the hell are PNUT TIES? Whatever it is, they must be good at $4 each.
1 five gallon bucket loaded with pink toxic goo, ready to be sold to unsuspecting young boulderers. Whatever that sh*t was, Fish, it was mighty tasty!

Still trying to find any pix of me. The past week has been gorgeous here in Ireland and the Met says the same for next week. I'd like to say that I have gotten down to Dalkey Quarry every day for the past nine days, but not quite.
On Wednesday I broke down and finally bought a pair of Red Chili Spirits Impact for €67.50 (about $90) as my final pair of Fires are beginning to tire and I'd left them at home and didn't want to make the side trip from the office to the home to the quarry. I'm not that impressed with them as I have been using them in Dalkey (very good granite there but the Red Chilis don't seem to smear all that well). They are suppose to be sticky rubber but I think my Fires smear better (and edge better).
Do these things need to be broken in before they are good for face, slab and smearing? Any suggestions on good shoes for the Meadows and Valley?
I was going to ask that on a new thread but I figure to keep this one going.

the bike in the background is 1 of my 1-speeds......I have 2. Its my other obsession besides climbing.
this is the real reason I bought my own crash pad.

I used to straddle a pipe bomb every day riding down the hill from campus. The danger of riding a fixee eventualy smacked me upside the head. I gave up the hipster death trap. The flip-flop hob on my Fuji got turned to the free wheel side and I added a front and rear brake. Nice ride in the background though.

I have yet to crash mine, but being the accident prone person I am, I wouldnt rule it out as a future possibillity. The Bianchi in the background of that picture is just a single speed. My other bike has a flip flop hub and its sitting on the fixed side. Fixed gears can be kinda scary, but being able to stop without brakes is pretty fun.

Mt. Woodson is a 6 hour drive from Sacramento (near Ramona, CA - NE of San Diego). Fun place if you're in the area, but save the road trip until you are ready to crank. Otherwise it could be an exercise in frustration.

"exercise in frustration" = story of my life....hahaha. I dont see myself driving 6+ hours to get there but if anyone has any trips planned around northern california, let me know. I'd really like to take some weekend trips to yosemite and do some bouldering or sport climbing. I have about 0% endurance right now being that Im still recovering from an injury so I'm not up for any extra long routes. I would also be super appreciative of some really good crack beta if I ever end up climbing with any of you crackheads out there.
Ok, now I feel like I owe this thread another picture to make up for all the non-picture filled posts about bikes and needing crack beta so here.....
I dont even know what this is but it had chalk on it so I gave it a try.....and by "try" I mean I got my feet off the ground for just long enough to think about making the first move.

we took it real casual on Clyde and did it backpacking style. Hiked in 1 day climb the next hike out on 3rd day. I know people who have gone car to car on that thing. Tha t would be a hell of a long day if you ask me. There is a TR on ST somewhere I think I called it an ode to Norman Clyde or something like that. Definitly recomend the route, spectacular location.

Thanks guys. I woke up just as the sun was coming up over the peaks and soon this guy strolled in. I'd left my camera within reach and was able to snap it while still in my hammock and sleeping bag.
And thanks for the Welcome L - I've actually been lurking for around five years, making the occassional post and enjoying the banter but staying out of the fray for the most part. Been really fun 'getting to know' everyone and put faces with the names - and then to see Sushifest born has been awesome - WOW - so much for technology making us non-social hermits! Fun too to see that the flaming and namecalling has really been toned down since this thread and sushifest has taken off - hopefully it will last.
Here are a couple of other photos from the same trip I thought I'd share. Not of the quality of most posted here but I enjoy em, hope you do too.
Hope this doesn't constitute hijacking the thread for landscape photos but locations like this are what I enjoy most - so they kinda help ya get to know me :0
Cheers all,
Terry

Terry,
What camera, lense and film stock are you using? (Or are you shooting digital???) The yellow/orange saturation of your photos is absolutely incredible. So is the sharpness.
You could start a Landscape thread and get about 1000 people posting there, too (hint...hint).

Here's some from my recent trip to JTree
Me and an on-the-spot climbing partner(Christian, from CO. A great person; friendly and fun to hang with) trying to figure out which pile was the pile we wanted.....
Meeee.....Trying Big Mo, a climb I'd been belaying others on, but felt I shouldn't try. I couldn't even make the off-the-ground move the first time I tried with someone else. So, even though I didn't get to the part that everyone else got spit off from....I got further than I had expected. Can't wait til next time.
I was able to make this move and get set up to go into the mitten-looking part, but just could not get any further without coming off.
At the start of Gunsmoke....or at the finish, if you're me, and unable to make any of the hard moves.

Some images are missing, but I think that may be the case in the thread, too. I *think* the PDF has all the pics that actually existed on a server somewhere, as of 2/10/08.
Note: there seemed to be some pics that were mega-magabytes in size in this thread, which really monkeywrenched the pages.

If those are the thread rules, I take it that there's nothing to prevent me from taking all the posts to Who the Hell Are You II, and sequentially posting them here, under the appropriate SuperTopo name?
It does seem a rather arbitrary rule, your honour - think of how it discriminates against all the sad excluded dial-up people. Dial-uppers are SuperTopians, too!

Crimpy, I had just gotten back from a run (10 miles on rolling hills at 7 min. pace in 100˚ heat),
which is probably why I was wearing anything at all...The guy on my right was recently
Tae Kwon Do champion of Great Briton, the guy on my left had won a bunch of local
triathlons and gotten me into running; the young guy in the back got us all into Bikram
yoga, and had taken classes from Bikram for 2 months straight...I don't know about the old
guy in the back - he was probably up to no good. Ah, those were some good times!

nita, nice picture of Rick and his furry friend. He helped all through the FaceLift, and one day fetched several tonnes of post-industrial debris back on a small flatbed. Left over from road construction or something, that had just been dumped. He and Ken had it all planned - not the kind of thing you can just go and get with a litter stick and a bag.

Thor, you're all buggered up. Email me your picture, and I'll post it for you. You need to do a few things. First you need to upload it somewhere that hosts pictures. I use image shack. Then you need to hotlink it to the post. The way you do it is to right click on the very image you want to upload, and click properties. Then you copy and paste it into the forum, with a [im g] before it and an [/im g] after it, but without the spaces.
Voila.
Edit: Duh. Total brain fart here. It's [/im g] without the space between the m and the g. Cheers, Ghost.

Thor- I just did it for the first time. I'm clueless, but I onsighted it. I uploaded to photobucket, which was cake. Then I followed instructions from Largo's uploading tutorial thread(posting photos on this site). I was nervous, thinking it wouldn't work, but it did. I didn't have to add any[img]stuff or anything, just had to size the pics correctly. Largo was my inspiration!

All right, let's see if this works. Behold The Mighty Thor:
OK, so I don't quite get what's up with your ImageShack images, but when I right clicked on the image originally, I got a url that finished with a php? sort of thing, which obviously isn't right.
So I right clicked again on THAT image, to open it up in a new tab. From there, I had an image that kinda looked right, the URL of which is this:
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/3176/0000538r01013as5.jpg
So to make it work in the Mctopo forum, I put the [im g] in front and the [/im g] behind, but with no space between the m and the g. So give it a shot. You can copy and paste this url into your edited post, and put the "tags" on either end. Once it's done, lemme know, and I can delete this post.

Steve W,
Those were the Galibier Super Guides. I actually preferred the Galibier Peutereys I got next as they were a little lower and allowed better footwork which, of course, I was reknowned for-lol. After the E Ridge we went and did the Coonyard-Beckey. Allan and I wore the same size so we took one pair of EB's and each led 5 pitches while the second carried the pack. A match made in heaven.

hey there ninjah... say, go to photobucket.com, make an account, and upload your photos...
1---after they are uploaded, there is a list:
it LIST of things you can do,under your uploaded picture
(all this is AFTER you get past the part that wants you to put a title)(you can skip the title part, as it gives you the option):
this bumps you back to your main page, (with the list under the pics)
2---now pick from the list UNDER the photo of choice,
you will see something like this:
(front part of it will look like this):
[ img ] http :// etc. photobucket .com/ ..........
I PUT "DOTS" UP ABOVE, THERE, WHERE YOUR ACCOUNT INFO, ETC, AND THE PHOTO NAME WILL APPEAR...
(the ending part, will look like this):
jpg [ img ]
3--now then, you will of course, COPY the whole link, (you do not copy the picture, as, the link will put the picture in here, and, you will be able to post that link in HERE....
COURSE:
i did not do a very precise technical speech-deal on this, but there are some folks here that will step in an help...

A few pictures from a recent caving trip to Roppel Cave, Kentucky - part of the Mammoth Cave System, the world's longest cave. We've discovered, explored and surveyed over a mile of new passage this past year, yet again.
Here I am "getting reborn" - the Birth Canal going into Low Tech Dome. It's a tight squeeze, and then you end up getting birthed four feet above the floor.
That's my 68-year-old caving partner, Dick. He is the baddest of the bad-asses. I wanna be just like him when we grow up. The way on is down the little crack below us, which opens to a walking-sized streamway.
Dick led a fifty-foot climb up a waterfall, and we reached a section of big streamway above. In a higher passage parallel to the streamway, we discovered all these neat stals:
These stalactites are covered with beautiful dogtooth calcite crystals. Pretty cool stuff we found. You're the first ever besides me and Dick to see these things.
Cheers, eh? See yous on the bridge this spring.

Geez, those places aren't even particularly tight. The Birth Canal is just a bit awkward. Maybe you guys need a bit more airspace? How do you feel about swimming in 54F water?
You usually get about twelve inches of airspace when walking through the river, unless it rains outside. We got trapped beyond this point once for 33 hours when a sudden thunderstorm rolled through.

I hope nobody gets too mad at me for posting pictures from a cave, when this is supposed to be a thread with pictures of yourself. But we have a Jen-You-Wine mystery going on in Roppel Cave right now.
Before Christmas, we returned to an area of the cave that was first explored and surveyed about 25 years ago, but hasn't seen much action since. There are obviously diminishing returns to scale in caving - she can only be a virgin once. After you explore and survey 'er, she's just another one on your tick list. I've gotten about a mile of virgins each year for the last three, but it takes a lot of work.
At any rate, back we went to this area of the cave, along with some technical aid climbing gear to get up some climbs to leads that had been noted on the original survey notes. We climbed up to what we thought to be a virgin ledge, and were amazed to find a couple of these Mystery Triangles scratched into the rock.
The triangles are manmade, carefully drawn with a knifeblade or the tip of a flint arrowhead. We have no idea who made them. We later learned that another caver had climbed to this ledge 25 years earlier, but this isn't the type of thing that a modern day caver would leave behind, so we really doubt he drew them. I put the nutshells on the block to use for scale in the photo. Also sharing the ledge are the remnants of a huge cave rat's nest - lots of walnuts and hickory nuts and organic debris brought in over the years by the critters.
The triangles are sitting on a block which lies on the floor of the ledge. It would be extremely difficult to draw a triangle on a block so close to the floor - it would make a lot more sense to leave a mark on the wall at face height. It's just too awkward to reach down so close to the ground.
What it looks like to us is that the block fell from above, and broke when it hit the ledge. One of the triangles is next to the carbide lamp, the other is on the busted half of the block barely visible under survey station CB1 which is an erasable smudge smoked on the rock by a carbide flame.
Accordingly we continued the climb, hoping to find the place from where this block fell, which we hope to be continuing cave passage. We believe the Mystery Triangles were drawn above, and that the block subsequently fell onto the ledge and broke. At the top of the climb, we found continuing canyon passage leading to some rooms filled with sandstone breakdown, but we never ended up directly above the blocks. The only ones who had been up there before us were the rats, as we found all sorts of scratches on the rock - a veritable highway between their long-abandoned nests, and some rat-sized entrance approximately 150 vertical feet higher. We think we need to keep climbing and moving higher but in the opposite direction to the canyon to find the "going" passage, because the stuff we found doesn't go anywhere, and we're not directly above the fallen block.
But who left the symbol, and what does it mean? Was it left by a prehistoric man, who came into the cave long ago by way of a now closed up entrance? Or was it a bored caver who accessed this upper level from another part of the cave by an unknown and unsurveyed passage? Or was it someone else? Maybe someone from the last century, who decided to leave his mark on a block which fell onto this ledge?
The only viable match we could find for the Mystery Triangles is this little symbol of latter day Americana:
Anyone recognize it? So we're returning next week - along with our white sheets and pointy hats - to finish the climb. What on earth will we find up there?
It's a *real* mystery, for sure!

Pete.
Looks like you have it solved already. The symbol sure looks like the KKK triangle.
The sandstone rocks, debris, and cave rats nests indicate surface/sinkhole/entrance (or former entrance) nearby.
Rockfall would be more likely in the freeze-thaw zone of an entrance and cave rats generally prefer to live near entrances.
I would guess some 20th century visitor wandered into or dug open an entrance that has gone undiscovered or has since collapsed.
BTW, where in Roppel are you and/or what are you near on the surface (I know Roppel, be cryptic if you want to keep it unobvious).

No biggie talking about the cave, as all of the entrances are gated which keeps everybody out. [However we're always looking for new caving crew, so let me know if you're interested] We're about three miles of travel from the nearest entrance, I'm guessing. Maybe a bit less, not sure. Took us seven hours one way the first time, we've got it down to about 4 1/2 hours now with more moderate packs.
The sandstone initially was a bit of a surprise, because this section of the cave has been pinpointed vis a vis the surface by way of a cave radio, so we know where we're at, which is under the edge of a ridge. Unfortunately I was trending south-west above the climb, heading right towards a giant sink below the edge of the ridge. We only poked around the newly discovered stuff for a bit - there is lots of airflow, but it might just be filtering through the sandstone blocks. But next time when we go back and survey it, we'll check every available lead. There is a waterfall that enters from what looks like walking passage, and maybe this passage could get us underneath the breakdown? It'll be a tricky, slippery and scary climb to get up it, though.
What I'm hoping is that the block might have fallen from passage that is coming from the north, or especially the east, which is heading under the main part of the ridge. If we could find something going that direction, it could go for a long way.
The Mystery Triangles ledge sits at an elevation of 620' above sea level. The surface directly above is about 830' asl, but sloping steeply downhill to the south. The sink is to the southwest in the direction I am guessing we are heading away from the top of the climb, with the bottom of the sink at an elevation of only about 750'. I'm guessing we climbed a total of at least eighty vertical feet, if not closer to a hundred feet, above the ledge, so the sandstone breakdown might be around 720'. We'll have an accurate number once we extend the survey up there.
It's possible there was an entrance in the area once which has since filled in. When the forests were cleared to make fields in the past century, they didn't make much point of practising any type of soil conservation, and lots of cave entrances were filled by mud and trees.
Can't wait to get back - we'll be underground Feb 1-4.

Yes, top of Nutcracker! Jedi weighs about 140 lbs, so I carry him around for training purposes! But on the wall he carries me through the A4 nightmare sh*t that Thor would zipper!!! There isn't a 0 head out there that will hold Thor, sadly! Wings on my ankles may help? I'll have to try that one!
Ha det bra!
P.S. We got there at 6:00am and a line was forming, Jedi lead the first pitch amazingly well because I couldn't feel my hands!
It was super-slick from years of humans clawing there way up it! But once we were in the sun things went smoother!

I've done the nutcracker twice. First time was 91 or 92. Four of us drove up from the bay area the night before and did a couple pitches on the base of el-cap, then slept under the captain for the night. I don't recall when we started the nutcracker the next day, but there were a couple of parties ahead us. Amazingly the party of two ahead of us was climbing slower than the four of us. The best part was topping out in the heat and the party ahead giving me the last of their lemonaide, man that tasted good. When the next guy topped out I told him about the lemonaide, and he was bummed that I drank it all. After we all got to the base I jumped in the merced. Somehow I'd forgotten a glaciel fed river is cold!
The next time was January of 94. It was one of those improteu things, my wife (then girlfriend) left early in the morning, and there was horendous fog going through the farm lands. We got to the valley around 9 am, and despite the snow on the ground, the rock was bathed in light and suprisingly warm. We had the rock to ourselves, and it was a great climb, couldn't have asked for a nicer day. I plopped the camera on a rock, set the timer and took a few pics of us.
I'm hoping to get down this summer so the kids can see the valley and do some climbing. I did a 4 pitch route with the 3 kids this summer, so it's doable. It wasn't nearly the cluster it could have been, they just need to learn to climb faster. My 9 y/o had a hard time on the first pitch as he had a sling that kept tangling around his feet. Then he started freeking about the exposure when he got to the first belay station. By the next pitch he had his head under control. On the final pitch the wind started to pick up, and that made for a challenge communicating. Good thing we're in the land of the midnight sun, as we topped out at 10pm, and still had plenty of light for the decent.

I had them do their first lead this summer as well, short 5.8 sport route. It was interesting to see how they dealt with being on the sharp end. They all made it up, a wee bit of tension here and there, but it was fun to see them pull it off.
They can even belay eachother.

She also told me that Molly pets her purple jaguar every night before going to bed, and then kisses her goodnight.
And she's no longer afraid of the jaguar in the Jungle Book!

Timid TopRope,
Thanks for asking. Clarence was killed by a drunk driver while loading up after a gig in 1973, he was 29. Martin issued this commemorative model based for the most part on the hugely altered 1935 D28 formerly owned by Clarence and now owned by Tony Rice. (How Tony got the guitar is a cool story). It's built from the same materials and to a lot of the same specs except; the sound hole isn't as large, the neck is fatter, it's not built with hide glue, it has adjustable neck reinforcement with a big L shaped end block and popsicle brace. While it is a cool guitar, it will never in a million years sound like the White/Rice 35 or the couple 35s I've owned.

Steve,
That picture was taken when the illness was REAL BAD!
I released a couple guitars afterward and kept a wicked 35 D28 for chump change. The shaded 37 bone fetched a record amount in a four guitar transaction. The guy that bought it also has my former shaded 37 D18, now there's a pair of dreads! The family is down to a D18A, the CWB D28, the 35 D28 and the Musselwhite custom. Guitar rich, cash strapped!
Clarence pawned D28 #58597 to Joe Miller in 69-70 and couldn't get it back off Joe before he was killed. Tony tracked down Joe in 75 and bought the guitar back for $500. It was in Tony's words, "a train wreck". It was already way off the mark with an enlarged soundhole and a Gretsch 1/58" shortscale fretboard on a whittled down neck. Tony had the guitar reworked to his specs and went on to redefine the role of the D28 in bluegrass and acoustic stringed music. Fretboard Journal did a beautiful piece on Tony and Clarence's old D28.
More later.

Wow Chief...I just got a look at those fine Martins pictured up-thread.
The sunburst '37 is super-fine looking. I understand 1937 is considered by many Martin collectors to be the best year due to the quality of the wood available at the time.
Back when I lived near Missouri I was lucky to receive an invitation to come play a collector's guitars and made several visits and spent the evening playing one fine Martin after another. Each one has it's own history and some have been through car accidents, and major repairs done so expertly you wouldn't know they ever had any trouble.
My favorite was a '37: so light in weight, so heavy with a thundering bass sound.
Speaking of thunder...my favorite model for consistent super deep base thunk is the D-35.
Thanks for showing us a picture of your axes.

How many *TR*'s does it take to screw in a light bulb?

1 to screw in the bulb
1 to fart the rainbow so the first on can see what she is doing

This is one of the all-time great threads!
Love DMT standing strong (pun intended!) for T*R!
If we weren't roughly the same age, I'd want him to be my dad! Ha ha ha!
Maybe we need to form a posse of Dads. I've told my own daughter (who recently graduated from UCSD), if she ever has any trouble from guys, just tell 'em that her dad has a shovel and an ice axe and knows a lot of remote desert and mountain areas!
And just in case someday someone thinks I'm serious about that last line: I'm joking!

Heidi & me at our camp on the Salmon River Idaho, Sept 2013, toasting the first raft-flip in my whitewater rafting career. 42 years of "up-right" boating ended on that day.
(Great excuse for a "here's to cheating death" party.)

Wow, FCC in Phnom Penh... brings back the memories of the one in HK. I think my wife may have gone to the Phnom Penh one on a biz trip years ago, too.
And HK speed dating... so HK! Love it... that price is like an inverse ladies night. But I get why it works that way.
In keeping with the spirit of this thread, here's another (I posted others here ages ago) shot of me and my wife...
Oh, uh, errr.... ooops! But she does give me the same look. It usually means I'm in trouble!
Here is me and my pal Clement climbing on Tung Lung Island off of Hong Kong. A billion and one stories just about getting to that island and the many time we climbed there:
Here we are at the "ferry" "terminal". Yes, both of those words need quotes. HK is one of those rare places where you can take the subway (MTR in HK) to the crags! Major 90's hair!

Edit: Fuk! Not the "terminal". That *is* the "ferry"!

With the inimitable George Burns in 1995. He was a spry 99 years old. We were recording radio ads for his 100th, to be celebrated in Vegas. Sadly when the date arrived, about six months later, he had declined fast and was too weak to attend. He passed away two months later.

I haven't done an updated photo on here for a long-while.
This is from July this summer.
I was wondering whether to continue my hike along the ridge & up to the top of White Knob Peak. I turned around, which was good, since it had been a cool morning & the horse-flies were resting-up for the hot afternoon. When I got back down to my SUV, they were just waking up. Another hour or two later & I would have been their victim for miles of misery.

I hear much of the great art was saved in the Notre Dame Cathedral fire. They are going to rebuild.
Nothing remains the same; everything changes, everything ages. It's about adapting and going forward, a tough lesson that forever changed my life 11 years ago. But learned, there is still a lot of awesome living to do...places to go and people to meet. Cheers! The Campfire isn't dead yet. :)

Its not any particular thread Lynne. They decided to not allow hot linking from sites like photo bucket, which is part of what is ruining this thread,
AND they decided to delete all photos in a persons account here on supertopo if they find any photo that they deem to possibly be copyrighted and not belong to the person who posted it and so rather then try and get people to delete the few offending photos.. they decided to just delete the whole account. Its simpler for them, but pretty much wrecks the place. Yes,, they gave a couple of days warning.. but thats all, so some people were in the middle of deleting photos when their entire group of photos were deleted. A Few days to go through many years worth of photos.. Plus no explanation of what really constituted an offending photo. It doesn't even seem to matter if the person had permission, such as posting a friends photos. I have posted many of Karl's photos, but I don't own the photos, so if they get to me, then my photo file will be deleted.
seems pretty draconian and a bit nuts to me. I don't get it. But I didn't understand Warbler's being deleted, so I don't feel like I understand RJ or Chris anymore. I use to defend them, but this is kind of crazy. All of Bachar's photos were deleted. And now all of Fritz's.
Adios Supertopo.. At times it was a blast.

(Nita, 1982)
What is up with the pictures? Anita's took me to a facebook link (no pic). Zb's took me to website with the pic.
I just uploaded this one from my hard drive to see if it worked, Sorry, Nita but no one wants to look at my ugly mug.
So if it isn't a linked pic it still works. I know it takes my computer awhile to load a page from the What Song Thread if there are several posts of videos compared to just a link.
I am not sure if all those embedded videos are taking up too much space on CMac's server and if that is related to the missing pictures. Maybe Zb can answer that.
edit:
I just read John's post above, pictures are everything to this site, climbing,TR's and OT of everything to birds, flora, etc. not to mention the Yosemite history.
I have 658 photos still uploaded.
I would pay to offset the cost if that is a problem.

Zb,
You ain't goin nowhere (I hope).
I understand the realities of copyright laws and the issues it could bring on CMac, but I personally didn't see the warning thread he posted until I saw Nita's complaint about all the pics missing on this thread.
I have enjoyed coming to this forum for the last 8 or 9 years. I have made a lot friends, read some great stories, climbing history and have enjoyed all of the music threads.
I have some hope that somehow this will fire will not fizzle out and all the people leave camp.
I hate to see an end to some great writing and story telling, both life and climbing related. Guido's story of the longshoreman's hats, the building of his boat, Doug Robinson's old threads come to mind and the too many other's to name well researched threads or posts. I hate to think I will have to look elsewhere for books to read, I think 95% of the books I've read in the last 10 years I discovered on the forum.
It just doesn't seem possible all of this is lost forever like a state ordered book burning. I am not that that tech savvy, so maybe I'm just comfortably numb in thinking it will somehow be revived.
On the other hand, all things must pass.
