[SA Chris]

Need to look again (can't access yt at work) but one bit looked like Flagstaff Mountain, and one bit looked like Eldo.

Not sure where else to put this, but it's a quote from "Sherman Exposed" about our very own Blunk (well i think it's him?)

"Time for the Scottrope.

Scott Blunk is the Scottrope. 6ft 7" tall 215 pounds, in a bar fight he'd make  John Claude Van Damme look like Peewee Herman. I trust a spot from him more than a belay from any climber at Smith Rock. The only problem with bringing him up to my problem is that he's good enough to snake it from me"

Legend Blunk.

[Blunk]

Yes that is me, or rather a younger more capable version. Still pretty good at spotting though!

I remember reading that in Climbing mag article years back (Front Range Freaks??)

[SA Chris]

The book is a colection of all his Climbing articles, plus a bit more. The piece is called "Nothing But Problems"

The adjacent picture in the stream has a caption which indicates what it is...

The caption reads "i remember lactic acid being a problem. sky hook and friend 4 for gear"

[Will Hunt]

Shit. Wouldn't want to wing onto that.

[nik at work]

I remember that day at Caley, a couple of young ladies from Leeds uni were there filming something or other and asked if they could film their piece to camera while Dan was in the background doing Great Flake. I don't think they realised quite what he was doing, I seem to remember he came quite close to dropping it at the top...
Rolly Pete, fuck not seen him for years, and of course the might Sparrow Leg End.
I think the E5 is actually E4 nowadays as I suspect it's the Knock.
Awesome times, back in the day, youth of today, blah blah blah etc...

Clicking through to the photostream I see you were quite kind to me with your choice of pics there Slackers.
