"Is that hold loose?" asked Munge to me back in 1996-7 on an early ascent of heaven's gate....as I am yarding onto a huge load-stone (now it may RIP in the bushes)...I was fully committed to the move, where you just about mantled onto it.
"JUMP INTO the Manzanita! JUMP INTO the MANZANITA" says Munge as I was taking a 50fter grounder. Luckily he was right and I was able to land in the manzanita breaking my fall. Sadly my Sporthill tights were ripped.
"heh, heh, heh" was from Jake Miller after I had ripped a hold on Peregrine…...not are you okay, can you move your toes.....just..Heh, heh, heh...
