Geoff Farrar on nubble face in December.
Climbing on the center portion of Nubbin Face blind-folded and against the clock circa 1968-69?. Shoes are "RR" (Royal Robbins, shorts by scissors and Levi Strauss. I am the person in the photo, but i do not recall if the photographer was Richard E. Milller, Dennis Grabnegger, or Joe Ebner. (it's been a while, and i was blind-folded) just something to pass the time when traffic jams occurred on more serious routes and/or when the route that was of interest to you was unavailable for whatever reason. it was fun. Guessing, it was 5.2 or 5.3 in difficulty, and still probably is, even blind-folded; but you did have to change your approach to route finding!
