For all of us who used his guides to the Cascades it will be a treat to meet the man who gave us the answers to the routes... And many a climber has linked his name to an obsenity when faced with the challange of following one of his routes.

Sorry its so late! Chili cookoff is a (somewhat) annual event at Seneca Rocks - local businesses sponsor a end of the year bash... chili contest, pig roast, band, speakers, great door prizes... & its free! Targets climbers, but anyone wandering thru can stop in.
