This reminds me of the time when ABC Wide World of Sports declared Largo, "the first person to climb Yosemite in a day."

This is an old episode of Adventure sports. The Eiger -freebase aired earlier this year. There is some good footage of Dean doing solos of Heaven, Seperate Reality & a route I think is called "Flyswatter", on upper Elephant rock. IMHO, this is the best footage on the show.

Enjoy!

I thought Big Loyd Price was the first to "climb Yosemite in a day?"

When they did ABC wide world of Sports "Lost Arrow free" and Largo and Bob Beattie were the color commentators, Bob at one point said "Here we are in beautiful "Yellowstone National Park".

Whose is Largo Jim? Sounds like the name of a rum runner.
