- Climbing Magazine No. 101. April 1987. Jim Waugh on the front cover of the Climbing Magazine. Awesome Peter Noebels photo! Jim leading on a double line system, shows exposure, Jim chalking up while calmly sticking the sloper and chillin' on nothing feet, wonderful colors, great lighting, ..... and most of all, his signature he later added to this magazine cover is five star clean and perfect!!! - Climbing Magazine No. 101 is the last of the magazines that were taco folded and stapled. Climbing Magazine No. 102 and on were all created in the perfect binding glued process. |

Text to Jim from Marty 1/16/2025
Jim - Greetings. I just feel the need to apologize to you. Presently at the gym the course setting is moving at a snails pace. Setters only putting up only one route per day.
Over the past few years I was able to almost double the amount of holds that the gym has where there are no hold wars happening. Setters can use all the holds they want however they want.
When I reflect back on the past and remember how fast you were setting routes at the gym and all of the routes being of great quality, and knowing you were in your later 60s in age, that is really impressive. It’s more than impressive!!
I also reflect back of how much of a ass I was treating you at times and that’s very unfair to you. I wish you were at the gym now because it would be awesome to hang out with you as a great friend, over being a boss that was unnecessarily cracking the whip.
I just want to say with all of my heart that I am sorry. You are really a very amazing human, ….and I miss having you around!
Hope all is amazing in your world!
:) Marty

Jim Waugh was scheduled to put on a slide show at Climbmax Gym, but then Climbmax Gym also included me into the event as a fundraiser for my broken femur. I didn't want to take the show away from Jim, so I gave the opening introduction to Jim. Thanks again Climbmax Gym for taking care of me when I broke my leg!
