Players

Anne and Jim styling it with our 1st (of 2) VW vans on its 2nd (of 3) engines

Anne before...

during and...

after!

Kara, we don't know why we climb but we know why we don't climb enough:

Connor, dialing the left AND right shoe beta:

Psycho #1 & Psycho #2 (Peter & Alex Murphy): Rumored to have raged for less than 20 hr/day once.

Saint Annie Kersting and her three psychos

T and Peteman

Classic Chandlee, Jessica, and Nicole Harrell

Jacqueline, Marianna (showing not shown), Hans, Greg T, Peteman, and Annie

Anne & Jim topping out on our first wall (Washington's Column).	Anne embracing wall food.	Anne after her fill of wall food.

Jim's Salathe training.

David Mellinger and Mike Ruby demonstrating our detailed knowledge of the Half Dome slab approach. Approached at 11pm with full haul bag including water. Water later found gushing at base. Rough start to a 3.5 day, no food, no water ascent. It was the first and only climb Dave and I have ever started when it wasn't raining.

Jim, Chandlee Harrell, and Greg Murphy having perhaps a limited future as hand models.

John Scott, Kara, Ian and Sidney Scott. John & Sid have not missed a weekend of climbing or skiing since Ian's birth. Never bothered to slow down for Ian's younger sister Elizabeth either. We hate them.

Jeff and the babes...

Jeff without the babes...

Jeff and the babe.

Kara's first dropped headlamp. Remarkably similar expression to her dad's when he dropped his headlamp at dusk, in winter, two pitches from the top of El Cap...

Anne and Jim's first date -- A year long bike tour of Asia (1986). Notice Anne's footware and proximity to the rear spokes. First and last time Anne was assured by Jim's "oh yeah, this is totally safe." Fifteen minutes later we visited Taipei's trauma center to sew up Anne's shredded left foot.

Mike Ruby and Jim on our first trip up the Nose (3.5days).

Anne emerging from the Salathe's infamous and wild 'Ear' pitch after a piece pulled and bobbed her on the head.

Jacqueline, Marianna, and Hans Florine

Selene Fabiano, renowned bay area psychologist with her most baffling case study

Guess who? Think fruit.

John, Yosh, and Dyno Haggerty

Anne & Jim about to be banned from Arches. (Seriously. Not for the fashion error but for the filming of the Raiders of the lost Arc sequel)

Captain safety.

the good old days...
