Of course on the last post some jackass had to be a jerk, but if you ignore the idiot comments then the stories are a good read.

I have a file somewhere (and so does Tackett) of all the posts Larry made to Kywilderness about climbing back in the day. They were all fun to read and made everybody want to run out and do those old routes.
