I belayed Dean on the day of his redpoint and then we went out again with Jimmy Chin to get these shots. No posing though, he climbed the whole thing again in style. I on the other hand had to jug all the pitches.

Climbed with some old school partners of Peter Croft's when he was cutting his teeth in squamish in the 80's....but i never got to climg with Peter himself.
Ran Kaulk lent some insight to me at camp 4 on Midnight Lightning....all though it was in vein lol. Nice guy though, for sure....but i will never be able to boulder that piece with or without Ron.lol.
And i have rigged beside or been rigged by (for film) many of the Squamish legends; Dave Lane, Peter Ourum, Perry Beckham...

You're wrong. Getting to share a rope with a famous climber is cool, not because they are famous or sponsored, but because they are good climbers.

we worked our asses off on that project but it went very well. Having 15+ Americans in Iran wasn't a easy job.

I met Fred Beckey in Washington via a guy that had climbed with him and got his autograph for the record (not sure I still have it now mind).
For me the most famous, as far as famous goes, was my trad lead guide who I completed my one day course with at Squamish.. he must be some what famous he's in the Squamish guide book for some of the first ascents on the Chief

It wasn't my problem, but it was called Doggie Jump.
Wishbone is the steep line at the Bone Town wall at Homestead I bolted, you may have climbed it when you visited, I can't remember much more than you sending everything you tried on Slate Nation.
