Rock and Ice #24 March/April 1988 has a series of interviews with the Yosemite greats while they were still around! Bravo Sally! And thanks again to Jim Phillips!
Glen Denny, belayed by Royal Robbins, leading the third pitch(A5) on an early reconnaissance of the North America Wall. Tom Frost photo.
Even the back cover is classic! But what's up with the white wine?!?

Any reason these won't enlarge like most linked pics? I'm not THAT old, and can barely read the text...and then only with a serious squint...you'd almost think I was smokin' some of that mary ju wanner the way I'm lookin' all squinty eyed over here.
Hey Steve, how about a photo of your library that all this good stuff is coming from? Does it compare to Gordon's awesome collection?"

Best that I can do with acceptable file size.
Once the collection gets organized I can give you a peek.

That took me back a few years to the Golden Age of Rock & Ice! Thanks for the memories. Harding interviewed himself, never one to follow the rules. I'm sitting in the rain at Squamish, waiting for the weather to clear....

RG- At least you have a great brewpub to dry off your clothes! LOL
I hope that it clears off for you. If not, Vancouver has plenty of fun to be had. You could help Anders organize his slides!?!

That was one of the best R&I issues ever. Largely due to Sally's excellent article.
Great post up Steve.

what i've gotten from sally's writings is confirmation that california granite is the best climbing rock in the world. take your limestone and mix it with muriatic acid.

Even the back cover is classic! But what's up with the white wine?!? That's probably what Harding was drinking at the time. As I recall, Crazy Earl Redfern shot that photo back when he was repping Bluewater Ropes and living in Mariposa. My guess was that the two were drinking in the valley and Earl had the hair-brained idea to use the shot for an ad.

Thanks for the kind words. You've inspired me to post a trip report (The Broken Glass, A Tale of Two Climbers) that I wrote a couple years ago upon returning from the City of Rocks. It's the first piece I've written for myself in a long time. I originally called it "An Exorcism" and that title still rings true for me. It's about the things we do and put up with to go climbing....

Welcome Sally.
Gotta tell ya this little poem you wrote has stuck with me and influenced me...
If lava is the blood of the earth
Rock then is the flesh
Not to be bludgeouned into surrender
but caressed
What was your thought with this? Poetic reflection on rock in general, or a statement about clean climbing compared to piton craft?
I took it as both.
For what it is worth, I was reciting that poem not but a couple weeks ago when we were on Freak Show in Kings Canyon doing a 'clean' ascent of that route.
Welcome to the Taco campfire.

When my GF (now wife of near 30 years) and I were moving from Colorado to the Bay Area, Sally gave us this introduction to Valley climbing; I used this thoughtful gift and the yellow Myer's topos as my "go to" guides for our weekend trips to the valley. The information in this guide has aged well, as I'm sure the author has!
