Yeah that's me shortly before I vomited when I pulled the final crux.

Sandy Wagener....It was clear to all of us that in the end Sandy would out climb us all.

Robin Bickford just cruised up the thing. I kept telling her to put in more gear but she didn't listen. I guess that's nothing new

Who is Rob Drysdale? The guy on the plaque on the rock. It amazes me that enough time has passed that many of the climbers pulling down here may have just been establishing their first steps when Rob and friends were developing the area in the early 90's. Rob had just started school in Flagstaff in 1991. Before that he spent 2 years climbing at Devil's Lake Wisconsin. We called him the Condor because of his long body. Rob was a gentle, soft spoken giant who let his climbing talent do the talking. For those of you lucky enough to call this area home, you have a great guardian spirit in Rob.

Barnburner Crack before the bolts. This photo is from September of 1988. The belayer is non other than Jim Blakely. As much as I'd like to say I on-sighted this thing, I can't, I'm sure that I had top roped it at least a hundred times. To walk up to this crack and on- sight it would be really cool. I lost that chance over two decades ago. At the time I figured this was the 4th or 5th lead of the climb. Good thing I wasn't wearing lycra. Bob Bickford December 2008

The protection you can place prior to launching into the crux section would hold a "Dan Osman" type fall

Probably the best on-sight of my career, Mt. Arapiles Australia. When Henry Barber Free climbed this route in the 70's, it was among the hardest free routes in that country. It is sustained 5.11
