Galen told me that when he took this shot on the 4th P of this first winter ascent of Warren's route on Keeler, Batso told him to quote..."Quit Fu*king around! Get to work, God-D*amn it!!!" Good old Batso.

Whenever the route gets hard, or my water runs out, I think of him, and feel like a whimp.

Yes he was! Many didn't like his outspokeness and opinions. He could of given a Ratass about what people thought of him. I always thought that he and George Carlin were twins... God they acted the same huh!

I met him twice in Yosemite. Once at camp 4 or Sunnyside walk in Campground. Parting at a fire passing wine.Then once he was hitch hiking and I picked him up. Took him on into the Valley. He was a remarkable person.

I first met Batso in the Yosemite Lodge parking lot during a snowstorm, the morning after I soloed the West Face of the Leaning Tower. The last time I saw him was when we got drunk on Tequila at his 69th birthday in the Sierra foothills.
