My brother was a climbing bum for many years. He used to spend every “day-after-christmas” thru new years in Joshua tree. Did that for almost 20 years. He drove a beat up ford Pinto with the back seat removed, replaced with a permanently installed padlocked wood box – to hold his climbing gear. The car and the gear were his entire net worth for more than a decade post college.
It was the 80’s – so his bumper stickers were “save mono lake” and “death to the shah”. Different times.
He also spent a spring/summer/fall season living out of the same car in Tuolomne meadows, above Yosemite.
Yeah – dirty hippy camping rock climbing bums. I know the type. 🙂
