Jeepers Ray,
You really catch the special feel of these places with your words.
'Spent very little time at Woodson.
TR'd Hear My Train & Drivin' South, seems a long time ago and we watched as Watusi strolled those things high ball style and he was so dialed. That was about it.
I'll be out there after the Sushi Fest, meaning later next month. Anybody wanna hep me out with a short tour of Woodson then? 'Might be able to get up Robbins crack.

Heh, the old "lower expectations then blow them away" strategy, eh Roy? You still look like a pretty tough and stringy old bird. Samson aside, strength doesn't really reside in the hair, so you should do fine. Start lobbying the Beeb via email, he's usually up for a weekend back in da hood.

bvb,
RE:
"yep, full moon boogie is mos def a classic. loved climbing past the loose flake jammed in the slot to get to that splitter"
The guys that came after me got rid of it, I remember trying everything, Once I went up alone w/ a car jack, Surfer Dave and I had worked on it w/ a crowbar, finally it went. That start is a nasty looking slot that wasn't at that bad to climb..it just looked REALLY bad.

Personally I'm sorry you were given that impression by the climbing community. I don't think anyone I knew or climbed with ever thought that. It was pretty obvious you had special abilities and were a leader, John.

Hey Roy,

I'd be glad to head up there with you for a tour. I'm in the same boat, haven't been crankin much crack (granite) lately and thats a shame.

Sounds good Tarbuster, I will be there on the 28th for sure.
I am going to have Tom Scott get a hold of Adrian and Jeff bros and see if we can get them up also. It would be great to have BVB and anyone else show up. Maybe even Dan Curley and Brad (Behay).
F whatever

OK, swell. I've been thinking, too, of Woodson... It's been too many years. (Another Spring Reunion of sorts?)
I'll tell Henny. For real entertainment, let's do a day at Woodson, and the alternate day at Rubidoux. The Chicken can give us that tour, and we can all watch.

Possibly moi, if girls are allowed to join all you old time hardmen. I'm getting my excuses in order now too: I'm so far on the couch I'm under the cushions with the spare change and the popcorn kernels.

Tar, BVB & Robs, I think I can make it down to Woodson on the 28th. If I can even hike up the road I'll be psyched. The "Chicken" will be in the Portal with the "Big Head" aka "Deport Jonny". Remember that Raydog?

I'll see you guys at Woodson next winter - I'll have some conditioning under my belt by then. Can't go there out of shape. Just can't.
