I DID NOT BRING JEANS ON THIS CLIMB. RICHARD CLIMBED THE WHOLE THING IN JEAN SHORTS AS EVIDENCED BY HIM IN AFOREMENTIONED SHORTS IN THE RAIN IN THE LAST PICTURE.

He’s methodic, scientific, capable, and so competent it makes me envious. I was climbing with some hotshot Brit in Yosemite once, and he said, "My God, Harding, you can’t do anything!" I said, "I know, but I can do it forever.
