5.12 would've been Porter's too. My guess would be something at Military
5.14 would be David Hume, either CWLF or The Nothing I suppose

Good topic Lee!

5.10 Excalibur 1975 Ed Pearsall
5.10 Fallout 1976 Larry Day
I include the latter because there appears to be some controversy in the date of the former. The other 5.10 in the running was Batman's Warm-up which is listed as a toprope.

I love the name Thanatopsis
Thanatos was the daemon personification of death (Greek mythology).
+
opsis= spectacle in the theatre and performance (Greek).
Dave let me know if you meant something else when you named this one.
