BIG SNAGTOOTH  

Shoulder stand move, Joe Vance on Don Avriett's back, October 24, 1986.

 

Joe Vance displays the September 29, 1946 FA register of Chuck Welsh, Fred Beckey, and Jerry O'Neil.

We came by only 40 years later.  Joe has the distinction spreading out the quest for the Top 100 over the greatest number of years, taking from 1947 to 1988--41 years--to complete, soloing 35 Big Boys.  "Reminiscing I would say that Cathedral, Argonaut and Forbidden were the solo climbs which made me most uncomfortable. Nervousness on the latter was heightened on reading in the register that the last party to summit Forbidden included Warren Spickard who had died a few weeks earlier [8/20/1961] on NW Mox Peak."

 

MOUNT FORMIDABLE   8325'    P1885

from NE. Peggy Goldman's last Big Boy in 2003.  On the hike out, Jim Quade tore a plantaris (calf) tendon and got a free helicopter ride out.  Hyrax Peak' (L), Ome Dome' (Center).
