The guy trying to hear the ghetto blaster is Werner, no?
Damn, I didn't even recognize him without his baseball cap and yellow shirt.

hey bachar, you got any shots of you (or anyone) doing the central scrutinizer? that thing was harder than so high and far more likely to kill you dead if you fell...pitch out of the fist crack at the top, and you were headed straight into the "bottomless pit..."

bvb - I thought you had shots of that one! I dunno, I might have a slide hidden somewhere but I have no slide scanner yet! These are all magazine scans...
You're right though, 'Central Scrutinizer' is pretty stout (for a boulder problem). Do pads help on that thing anyway? jb

If you need someone to scan your slides... Check this site out at:
http://www.imagesourceonline.com/
They are the only lab I would trust my pictures with... Plus, I have found them "cheaper" despite being "the leaders" in the industry.

Why does this picture make me want my mother? Why am I hyperventilating??? I am shaking just from looking at it on a two dimensional screen...

nah, did it about a thousand times -- ususally with the watusi -- but never could figure out a way to make it safe. it was either a bouldering "solo" or a tr. pads wouldn't do jack -- fall out of control and your still going into the pit. you could use spotters, but they'd literally have to be anchored in with a tether, otherwise you'd just knock 'em into the pit.

scarry fucking problem......

curt - The Ripper...YEAH! Damn that rock is so good. That's the "ripper" hold in you left hand - quite sharp as I recall. Largo cut his hand on that when we were there....Can you still climb there? We were real quiet 'cause we heard if you make noise the owner would come and kick you out.
Nice photo bro, thanks jb

Gill took that photo in 1991 or so. The ripper has always been off-limits to climbing officially. I've never personally been kicked out of there, but Gill and others have from time to time. Check out the link in my last post too.
