@The-Gnome said in Bachar celebration:
To remember how my generation of climbers
Were inspired by the archetype rock climber

Damn y'all fer' posting up here again... Now I am all re bummed out that I could not make this. Sigh.... maybe if had been a Saturday rather than Friday would have been a bit less challenging for those of us not living in CA, eh? Just sayin'...
Less tongue in cheek, rereading this thread, the bit quoted above from Gnome's post really strikes home and rings true! I have browsed some other forums catering to the young gun crowd and been rather appalled by the lack of interest, much less respect, for those who've gone before them and upon whose shoulders they stand upon. Really miss the climbing lifestyle. But also content to not be a part of the whoring of it as "sport".
Interesting to see how Mill Creek Station "grew up". Was pretty much a hole in the wall when last I was there, circa early 90's. Heh, need a "historical road trip" fer' the waxin' nostalgic tour.
