It's Don Buland! I'd recognize that guy anywhere. now you will know him too.
Jon Ruland can confirm it, but I am pretty sure it is him.

Oops, my bad.

EDIT: Don Buland is Jon Ruland.

The funny thing is Don Buland has dinosaur arms and Boodge has totally atrophied legs.

Okay, one more guess on AZ's best kept secret. It's an inside joke about morphing people, ie, Boodge + Jon Ruland = Don Buland. If not, I give up, and I'm heading to the strip for some real entertainment. ; )

no one really knows who don buland is, but what we do know and can all agree upon is that he is highly intelligent and is most likely related to stephen hawking, albert einstein, adam smith, and possibly even confucius (distantly of course); he always has brilliant insights whenever he posts on MP; and when he speaks everyone should listen.

at least, that's what the vast majority of southern AZ climbers will tell you. i can't say i agree with them or not; i'm just making an unbiased observation based on what i've seen.
