The first time I was in his shop was a couple of years ago and I didn't have a clue who he was. I heard him talking with someone about El Cap and other stuff, but I thought he was just a well informed shop owner. It wasn't until I bought the book Cascade Voices that I realized Jim was "famous". I'd be willing to bet these guys would rather shitcan the hero worship. I'll bet it helps the business a little bit, though. Good idea on the shrines, we don't have enough of them. Perhaps a cairn sticking out of the loft over the entryway?
I personally know quite a few climbers - especially from the older generation, who have flamed Beckey. I think he's kind of a far out old dude.

I worked with Jim ten years ago at Marmot in Swellvue. Fredd was dating our secretary at the time Miss. Donna. Donna had Fredd sign my cascade alpine guide for me! Fredd is a superman in the world of climbing. He could out climb most people who are 25 years old and he's 70+! Jim is at times hard to get to know, (many climbers are that way) but there are few around with his skill. He doesnt guide anymore but when he did I took him up on it a could times.

Dude, it's a little late for that. You're going to have to pay your dollar, light your candle, and wait in line with the rest of us. And no shooting your way to the front of the line!

WHAT exactly are you talking about? Jesus christ you are one freaky chick!
I dont have to wait for anything. The point is, I'm WAY ahead of all of you guys. Jim's a regular guy to me. Maybe you are making fun, and you dont think he's special. If that's the case, then you show your ignorance!

PS allison, if there's any shooting, it'll happen in your sleep, without you hearing a thing!

So what now you are breaking into my unlocked house and shooting me in my sleep? Maybe if you want to get away with it you shouldn't be posting your plans on the internet.

Am I the only one who has no idea what "The Shop" is? Or who "Jim" is? Or what the hell is wrong with BPJ?

Hey Al baby, YOU are the one who made the GIANT leap from my statement to yours! You should reflect on your insecurities. Nobody's shooting anybody! Maybe you should be a little bit more selective on your commments when and where you make them! If you could just be NICE, we could all get along!

PS, especially in person.
PSS, this thread was supposed to be closed!

Yes, Joe, you are WAY ahead of all of us (right 'guys'?). Of course you are. Now there, there.....put the gun down nicely, no need to wave it in our faces.... Yes, you are so much better than all of us....now....who is this Jim freind you speak so highly of? Where is his shop? For what reason do we care? Sure, we know he's great and you know him and he's a regular guy and all....no, put the gun down, remember?
You're so much better than any of us so you don't need to wave it any longer.
OK men, lock him up and don't let him have any sharp objects!

Yeah, but it doesn't matter much if Oakland and Anaheim are never going to lose again.
