I sure would like to meet Mr Ron Christian in person, nothing but my out most admiration and respect for somebody like him. I have had the fortune to summit Diablo twice from the West side, a truly unforgettable experience and yes I do know what he means when he talks about rough terrain to navigate and hike.
Graham, thank you for posting it, stop by sometime for a "Stella"

I had the pleasure of traveling for a week with Ron back in 2001. He was an awesome amigo to everyone he came in contact with on our tour, and I highly recommend any opportunity to travel with him. Some photos:

That was a great read Ron. My hat's off to you brother. You are one tough man. I'm glad you made it out to tell the Tale.

Wow, what an adventure! Apollo 13-ish. You showed a lot of fortitude to make it through. I've been to Blue Bottle (but not Diablo) and other areas up there so I understand the difficulty of the terrain. Nice bits of luck along the way too. And the drive to Laredo, heh, I know that one--I'm in Fort Worth.
