That's right!  No sense in going to Yosemite Valley.  Stay at the Gunks,
Cannon Mt., Senaca.  Stay home.  Too many climbers here right now.

That's three of you guys quoting from Roper and Steck.  I think, I'll
tell Al about this electronic discussion the next time I see him.  I think
he'll really get a kick!  He'll say something like: "God, you'll have to
carry a portable computer when you go climb."  [This has been done
actually: I've skied with an LSI-11 on my back, Mike Hoover has carried
a lap top word processor [can't remember the name], Nick Estcourt programmed
expedition simulations in England before getting killed on K2, and
Chris Bonnington continues to use Nick's programs].

Again: stay away from Yosemite:  it's hot, overcrowded, all the holds
are covered with chalk, all the cracks are bottomed out pin scars,
all the young kids climb 5.14, there are tourists all over the place,
the Rangers get down on you for not registering, take up surfing.
