Here is the "Yosemite hopeful-Dale Bard" image that Raydog mentioned. It is from Mountain 33 (March 1974.) [No photo credit given.]
The accompanying text says:
"Notable repeats include an outstanding series by Dale Bard who climbed Basket Case (third, all nuts) with Tim Harrison; Hot Line (second) with (Vern) Clevenger; Cream (fourth, all nuts) with Clevenger and Hourglass Left Side (fourth, all nuts) with Harrison and Werner Braun."
The reason I could grab this image so easily from a stack of 125+ Mountain magazines is it was inspirational to me in my youth and I remember it well. Somewhere I have a photo of myself lying in a Camp 4 fire pit in my white milkman pants and Chouinard Rugby Shirt after returning from a failed whack-n-dangle. The photo has the hand-written caption, "Yosemite hopeless.
edit: By the way, for those who do not have the privilege of owning one or having seen one, Dale is wearing he famous Dachstein sweater in this picture.

I don't think the Chouinard folks had any idea that we would be cherishing their catalogs so many years later! Mine did in fact revert to unbound leaves for the cause. Never meant to last!

Hey plastic man
That Dachstein sweater in the picture above Dale washed one night.
Then he put it in the drier on high heat and forgot about it.
He brings it into our room and shows me his sweater.
I never laugh so hard, the thing shrunk so small it could fit a Barbie doll.

Great Thread, thanks!
As an eager adolescent cragster I soaked up every word and image and dog eared all these catalog and magazine classics on the BART train to school, or at my mountain shop job after. Running Talus continues to inspire, (I have always considered it somewhat of my "third sport"), as does everything I read from Doug Robinson back then.
Soon after the mountain mag came out with the "hopeful pic", I met Dale and Werner at Short Circuit. Biggest breakthrough moment I ever had in climbing technique was a gift of instruction from Dale, who after watching this little 8th grader gamely lie-backing his way 2/3s up the splitter, said, "come here kid", and thoroughly schooled me in the art of the handjam.
I still shudder to remember leading the first pitch of Reeds and Bishops Terrace prior to this with only liebacking and gastoning in my skill set.
