Such legends of climbing as John Salathé, Royal Robbins, and Warren Harding have immortalized their names in the granite of the valley. The giant walls of El Capitan and Half Dome haven t lost their magic attraction to this day. Climbers from all over the world pilgrimage to Yosemite year-round to do a Big Wall, to attempt Midnight Lightning, the most famous boulder in the world, and to experience the flair of the past in legendary Camp 4. From the surveys of geologists in the 1860 s to the "free speed" climbs of today, over 100 years of climbing history accompany a range of superb color landscape photos that echo the great traditions of the Ansel Adams and the Sierra Club large format books of the 1970s. Essays by well-known climbers Warren Harding, Royal Robbins, Jim Bridwell, Mark Chapman, Jerry Moffatt, John Long, Peter Croft, Lynn Hill, Thomas Huber, Dean Potter, and Leo Houlding illustrate the evolution in climbing equipment and varied techniques needed to ascend the rock peaks and amazing walls..

  • Club Activities
    Club Activities EDITEDBY FREDERICKO.JOHNSON A.A.C.. Cascade Section. The Cascade Section had an active year in 1979. Our Activities Committee organized a slide show by the well- known British climber Chris Bonington with over 700 people attending. A scheduled slide and movie presentation by Austrian Peter Habeler unfortunately was cancelled at the last minute owing to his illness. On-going activities during the spring included a continuation of the plan to replace old bolt belay and rappel anchors at Peshastin Pinnacles with new heavy-duty bolts. Peshastin Pinnacles is one of Washington’s best high-angle rock climbing areas and is used heavily in the spring and fall by climbers from the northwestern United States and Canada. Other spring activities included a pot-luck dinner and slides of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I by Joan Firey. In November Steve Swenson presented slides of his ascents of the Aiguille du Triolet, Les Droites, and the Grandes Jorasses in the Alps. At the annual banquet on December 7 special recognition was given to sec- tion members Jim Henriot, Lynn Buchanan, Ruth Mendenhall, Howard Stansbury, and Sean Rice for their contributions of time and energy to Club endeavors. The new chairman, John Mendenhall, was introduced, and a program of slides of the alpine-style ascent of Nuptse in the Nepal Himalaya was presented by Georges Bettembourg, followed by the film, Free Climb. Over 90 members and guests were in attendance. The Cascade Section Endowment Fund Committee succeeded in raising more than $5000 during 1979, to bring total donations to more than $12,000 with 42% of the members participating.

  • Longs Peak, the Diamond. in August, 1960, Two Californians, Bob Kamps and Dave Rearick, Made the First Ascent of the Diamond ( A.A.J ., 1961, 12:2, Pp
    Longs Peak, The Diamond. In August, 1960, two Californians, Bob Kamps and Dave Rearick, made the first ascent of the Diamond ( A.A.J ., 1961, 12:2, pp. 297-301.) Their route goes straight up the center of the 1000-foot face. Two years later Layton Kor and Charles Roskosz, both of Colorado, completed a new route, “The Yellow W all” , about 100 yards left of the Kamps-Rearick route. Though on less steep and better rock, the Yellow Wall is more circuitous and has a harder aid pitch. On July 13, after making the second ascent of the original route, Kor and I established a new one, “The Jack of Diamonds” . The “Jack” stands just right of the Kamps-Rearick, and like that route, has a rotten section which overhangs for 400 feet. Although the nailing is slightly easier on the Jack, the free climbing is more difficult than either of the other two routes. The night before the ascent, we bivouacked on Broadway, a huge ledge at the base of the Diamond. Kor slept placidly, but next day all his famous energy and drive became focused upon the problem of getting up this new route. The day dawned with the sun shining warmly through a clear blue sky, but by noon clouds had gathered and a strong wind numbed our fingers. The weather worsened as we climbed higher, and in the afternoon snow flurries swirled around us. Nearing the top, we fought an insidious exhaustion caused by altitude, cold, and our daylong struggle. Racing against the setting sun to avoid a bad night in slings, Kor led the last pitch, a long, strenuous jam-crack.

  • Every Photo Tells a Story
    JIM HERRINGTON Every photo tells a story Meet Jim Herrington, a passionate photographer from New York City, who grew up on a diet of great storytelling and his father’s collection of Life Magazines. Both have had an immense impact on him as a photographer and encouraged him to always look for the good story in his assignments. Jim has worked with some of the biggest stars in music and entertainment, including the Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton. However, what always seems to captivate people the most is his warm and heartfelt documentation of some of the world’s finest and most iconic rock climbers and mountaineers. \ 101 \ Jim was kind enough to sit down and share a few of his best photos and stories with us. Two hours never went by so fast. How did you first get interested in photography? My dad had a collection of old Life Magazines from the ‘30s and ‘40s. I remember looking through those when I was very young, marveling at the people, places, and things depicted in black and white with full bleed. It gradually dawned on me that the photos didn’t just happen, somebody went out and made those photographs. This sounded like the life for me, traveling far and wide, hobnobbing with interesting people and being paid to show my version of the way the world looks. How did you find your direction, your style? I practiced the age-old method of stealing and copying from my heroes, which is what you do when you’re young – you mimic those that you admire.

  • A Historical Geography of Yosemite Valley Climbing Landscapes J
    Journal of Historical Geography 32 (2006) 190e219 www.elsevier.com/locate/jhg Mapping adventure: a historical geography of Yosemite Valley climbing landscapes J. Taylor Departments of History and Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6 Abstract Climbing guidebooks are invaluable resources for examining how modern recreation has inscribed val- ues onto public landscapes. The history of rock climbing in Yosemite Valley is particularly instructive be- cause it was a principal location for modern rock climbing and influenced modern environmental thought. Examining climbing guidebooks for Yosemite Valley also reveals a cultural shift during the 1960s in how climbers represented themselves and their deeds. New trends in route descriptions and naming practices re- flected shifts in social mores, environmental conditions, and sporting behavior. Guidebooks produced since 1970 suggest a coarsening progression in sport and an altered community demography, yet these texts also illustrate how change reinforced climbing’s values and customs.

Keywords: Yosemite; Guidebooks; History; Gender; Recreation In August 1933 a young San Francisco lawyer named Peter Starr hiked into the Sierra Nevada wilderness and disappeared. A huge search ensued, complete with elite climbing teams and the first ever use of airplanes in a Sierra search and rescue. Three weeks later another climber found Starr’s body on a ledge of the steep, previously unclimbed northeastern face of Michael Minaret. Peter Starr’s death rocked genteel California. News reports and polite society obsessed about him, but at the service Francis Farquhar, president of the Sierra Club, transformed Starr from victim to hero.

Harding had es- sentially taken on El Cap like it was Mount Everest, bolting Frost’s quick emergence into the rock a trail of fixed ropes that allowed his team to come and go during 45 days of climbing spread over 18 months. Such among the world’s tactics were common in the murderous altitude and weather of the Himalayas, but for climbers like Frost, ’58, they seemed best may have surprised unsporting in Yosemite. With enough bolts, fixed ropes and time, any obstacle would submit—even El Cap—but that wasn’t those who knew him in the point. And so Frost and three others, led by a charismatic climber his early years at Stanford. named Royal Robbins, the purist yin to Harding’s pragmatic yang, left the valley floor in September 1960. They expected a 10-day climb and hauled only enough water for a quart and a half per day.
