  • Peaks and Professors
    Ann Lage • THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS UNIVERSITY NAMES IN THE HIGH SIERRA Ann Lage DURING THE LAST DECADE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, a small group of adven- turesome university students and professors, with ties to both the University of California and Stanford, were spending their summers exploring the High Sierra, climbing its highest peaks, and on occasion bestowing names upon them. Some they named after natural fea- tures of the landscape, some after prominent scientists or family members, and some after their schools and favored professors. The record of their place naming indicates that a friendly rivalry between the Univer- sity of California in Berkeley and the newly established Stanford University in Palo Alto was played out among the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, just as it was on the “athletic fields” of the Bay Area during these years. At least two accounts of their Sierra trips provide circum- stantial evidence for a competitive race to the top between a Cal alumnus and professor of engineering, Joseph Nisbet LeConte, and a young Stanford professor of drawing and paint- ing, Bolton Coit Brown. Joseph N. LeConte was the son of professor of geology Joseph LeConte, whose 1870 trip with the “University Excursion Party” to the Yosemite region and meeting with John Muir is recounted elsewhere in this issue.1 “Little Joe,” as he was known, had made family trips to Yosemite as a boy and in 1889 accompanied his father and his students on a trip University Peak, circa 1899.

Rodney Glisan participated as a leader on some of these events. As many as 30 people participated on these hikes. They usually travelled by train to the vicinity of the trailhead, and then took motor coaches or private cars for the remainder of the way. Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan. Trips included Mount Saint Helens Climb, July 4 and 5, 1915; Table Mountain Hike, November 14, 1915; Mount Adams Climb, July 1, 1916; and Beacon Rock Hike, November 4, 1917.

  • Wringing Light out of Stone
    MOUNTAIN PROFILE THE PALISADES I DOUG ROBINSON Wringing Light out of Stone So this kid walks into the Palisades.... I was twenty, twenty-one—don’t remember. It was the mid-1960s, for sure. I’d been hanging in the Valley for a few seasons, wide-eyed and feeling lucky to be soaking up wisdom by holding the rope for Chuck Pratt, the finest crack climber of the Golden Age. Yeah, cracks: those stark highways up Yosemite’s smooth granite that only open up gradually to effort and humility. Later they begin to reveal another facet: shadowed, interior, drawing us toward hidden dimensions of our ascending passion. ¶ The Palisades, though, are alpine, which means they are even more fractured. It would take me a little longer to cut through to the true dimensions of even the obvious features. To my young imagination, they looked like the gleaming, angular granite in the too-perfect romantic pictures that I devoured out of Gaston Rébuffat’s mountaineering books. My earliest climbing partner, John Fischer, had already been there— crampons lashed to his tan canvas-and-leather pack—and he’d returned, wide-eyed, with the tale of having survived a starlit bivy on North Palisade. [Facing Page] Don Jensen climbing in the Palisades, Sierra Nevada, California, during the 1960s—captured in a photo that reflects the atmosphere of the French alpinist Gaston Rébuffat’s iconic images of the Alps. Many consider the Palisades to be the most alpine region of the High Sierra, although climate change has begun to affect the classic ice and snow climbs.
