Welcome Kelly Rich!

[MUCCI]

Nice to have you join the campfire Kelly.

As a voice from a time when true hard free climbing found it's way to pinnacles. 

 


Cheers,

Josh Mucci

Kelly Bro... Where you been!?!?

[cobbledik]

Soooo I had no idea who kelly was so I looked him up and found some amazing stuff that'd be cool for people that also don't know enough history to familiarize themselves with.

Some current eventy bolt placements stuff

and finally, a quote:
"Of course, the first all-female ascent of Midnight Lightning was a huge coup, as Lynn was obviously aware. In fact, to make the ascent seem all the more valid, she even had her belayer (John Bachar) dress up in women's lingerie."

what guy would not where lingerie for Lynn?

Hey Kelly,

Do you know whose project on the southeast side of the Hand? Steepass water chute that's protected by PO at the bottom. It had some fixed gear in it.

(Note to admin, don't read this, move on)

I was checking it out years ago while thrashing to the Frog.

[Brad Young]

Steve Dalleske started it. I'm not sure he's climbing much now and it's probably an abandoned project.

Wow, just thumbing through guidebook to figure out the approach to Mud's aid route on Kasparek's and noticed that my favorite shot in the entire guidebook is of Kelly Rich.

Thanks brad. I'll ask stevie d the next time I go through sfo security....I used to run into him at the pg Belmont, but that was a few years ago.

Don't mock too hard.....you'll get a pat down and then some.

Watch out for sure, StevieD does have a flair for the romantic. After all, I'm pretty sure he named the Love Seat after an actual event.

Thanks folks for the warm intro, made me blush.

But where the heck did that quote come from?? LOL. But, wasn't Bachar. All this time I was mistaken. I've heard recently that it was actually Steph Davis belaying, making it an all-female ascent.

[cobbledik]

Soooo Bachar in lingerie had a figure good enough to be mistaken for Steph Davis?


Now THAT was a sexy man.

got the quote from here http://www.womenclimbing.com/climb/quotes.asp (last quote on the page.)

Those bolts on Hand have Stevi DX's and my name on them. I have been meaning to go back and finish it up. I think I might be ready now.

And welcome MC Auliffe!

It looked hard and is guard by poison oak. Lots of it.

In addition to being a Pinnacle Hardman Kelly also has a JTree FFA Test piece.

Woot!
Howdy.
