>hard question but would you prefer the Bungels or the Bufffalo?
Hmm.
... for me the 'Bungles wins hands down for Trad and Buffalo for Aid.

>he is my mentor
Good to hear Phil is still climbing and that the mentor system is still passing from generation to generation. He had not long started when we 1st met up. He no doubt would have a few stories to tell about some adventures with me. Ask him to tell you about AJBH (AmyJordiBradleyHannah) an unpublished classic which we put up (along with John McKenna) on the proudest face of Timor!; ... or our 1st retreat from O & B (with its subsequent local controversy!!), as this was the day that Phil 1st learnt to trust 6mm prussic cord as a retreat sling; or Arhh Well, Dollar A Day/Schools Out, re the unfriendly yogi and combining m/cycles with climbing ...

If you want an adventure with him get him to take you up Napawi sometime. It is the next line right of O& B and includes a bomb-bay chimney a couple of hundred metres off the deck ...

Please give him my regards and tell him to contact me if ever intending climbing down this way.

Note to self: ... must make the time to revisit the 'Bungles again. I know of a few outrageous significant length aid lines that I can put up there, for the heroes to free at a later date!

Cold and snowy at the moment.
