One of the many fine items presented at my benefit auction.
I scanned it in its entirety: it’s the only one to lay flat without compromising the binding.
We have Dana B. to thank for this !!!
I’ll post up the whole thing, in segments by article, … overtime …to savor.
In between, maybe we can do something like a SALON.
This is where we put on our tweed jackets and get all talkative & nuanced ‘n stuff.
Maybe sip some Pernod as we go…

Roy, I love it, a bonafide Salon. Of course we can get together a great group of diverse people for an evening or a house party weekend and discuss the notions and phenomena of the climb....ascents and the life it entails along with living it and everything in between.
We have the best potential group of humans ever to participate.... Smiles and Peace, Lynne
Edit: I'll supply the Pernod or something equally yummy. :)

Sort of like the roundtable at the Algonquin? Will Dorothy Parker be there?
SuperTopo as a literary salon - now that's high falutin'!

I thought a Salon is where certain female members of this species go to get primped for mating rituals.
Honestly, what is this Salon you all speak of, have never herd....
(I know, look it up on wiki....)
Thanks Roy for this! Great idea, It'll be a thread to come back to.
What a cast of characters on the contents page! This is a gem of an issue.

What a fabulous issue that was.
I hope Cub Reporter is taking good care of my copy.
I look forward especially to the Conquest of Tillie's Lookout.

salon indeed! and so it shall be. might we stipulate that sa share equal emphasis with lon, which would terminate nicely in the nasal sinus merely intimating the terminal n. i move that the republicans among us adopt the mannerisms of william f. while the boho's lustily slam mugs and slur a frothy "friggin frogs!" when salon is properly intoned.
mr. buster, is there a hook in my cheek?

The 1969 Ascent was the first one I bought. The section on the Meadows had what seemed to me at the time like secret knowledge. The book review section has one by Pratt of the book Northwest Mountaineering that is a true classic. Enjoy!

Roper's article "Eleven Domes" inspired me and my friends to ditch classes, just before
finals, our senior year in college. Instead we drove up to the Meadows the first day the
road opened, camped amid snow, and lived a sublime life climbing on domes we had
never seen or imagined before.
Many of the routes that I learned about from that article, I climbed then or later. One
in particular that I haven't is still near the top of my lifetime do-list.
Thinking back, I realize that each of those first few Ascent issues literally changed
my life. Unlike today when there is so much information available about climbs and
climbing, back then each Ascent opened doors to previously unseen worlds.
