From Carleton Watkins Gallery:
The first Tourists who made the ascension of the Half Dome 1875
On October 12, 1875, George Anderson, a blacksmith from Yosemite Valley, did what was believed impossible: he scaled the summit of Half Dome!
Four days later, he led the first tourist ascent of Half Dome. There were six in his party of English and Americans. Two of the tourists made it only half-way, but the other four successfully reached the top.
Watkins photographed these six climbers, with George Anderson seen on the left in this view. It was remarkable and fortuitous that Watkins was there to document such an historic moment

Reilly, thanks for the Watkins Tour! Man-o-man!
He certainly earned his place in the Yosemite nomenclature.
Tobia, things don't seem to have changed much since the time those two shots were taken and today. They have, but cameras lie. Is that the same railing on Glacier as is there today?
