Some of the places I hiked, backpacked and climbed with Randy
North Palisade
Made the summit up the U-Notch with a couple of technical pitches.
Randy on the summit of North Palisade
Mount Williamson 1991, 1992 
Randy made the summit in 91 & 92, I only made it in 92
Telescope Peak
One time from the kilns we took one of my shortcuts, taking the ridge from Thorndike camp. (My short cuts are never shorter and we turned back around Rodgers Peak)
Another time we camped up at Mahogany Flats and Randy feel just short of the summit.
Great Falls Basin 
Randy rappelled the six waterfalls with me twice. Another time we just rocked climbed around the mouth.
Heller Rocks (School Rocks )
Rappelling and climbing multiple times  (Used to be a good Sunday afternoon  outing until BLM closed off  easy access)
Lou, Bob, Mike and Randy at School Rocks mid 1990s
Yosemite 
One year there was a foot or two of powder and Randy fell on his back to make a snow angel. He went right through the snow and hit with a thud, dazing him.
First Lake
The two of us had a trailhead party, dinking and howling at the moon until two or 3 am. We had a rough go of it getting up to First Lake out of Glacier Lodge area.
The rest of the people on the trip showed up in the morning and left us in the dust.
Mount Sill 
First attempt from North Fork Pine Creek, 2nd & 3rd from South Fork. No successful summits.
Olancha Peak
We tried back packing and bush whacking up the east side, Falls Creek Drainage. We made about a mile every 3 hours.

We did some rappelling and climbing.
 
Gem Lake-Upper Rush Creek

Domelands
