Indiana Climbing 1988




This my 30th year of climbing, so I will be going down memory lane. I think I will add some old Indiana climbing shots like this one of Kickapoo Falls in Attica Indiana. This pic is of one of the last new routes established before it was closed to climbing. This me climbing Astropoo direct 5.12 with longtime climbing partner Dennis Rice. We ruled this place during 80s, Probably some of the best times in my climbing tenure.

Leif Faber? If so I remember you, I have some pics of you climbing at Kickapoo about 1987 or so.

Hey, I know this is an odd request, but I am an author writing a story that is set in Kickapoo Falls in the late 1970s. If you have any photos at all of the place I would be very interested in seeing them. Last time I was there was in the early 80s and my memory isn't quite what it used to be.

Nice! As a boy growing up in Oxford, near Attica, we'd camp and frolic at Kickapoo Falls. I don't think I fully appreciated the pristine, rugged beauty of the place. I can't find much information about it on the web. I would love to see more photos of the beauty, and know more about what happened to it - it must be private / no trespassing, right? Please post photos or direct me to where I can view them. Thanks! Tom
