Fred and Yvon did their route in 1961. Probably it had had several repeats by the early 1970s - I talked with some Calgary climbers in 1974 who'd done it within the preceding year or two. Chris Atkinson may know who did the early ascents, but probably they were in the mid to late 1960s.

I'm not sure whether "Whole other story" should be posted here; it doesn't feel like it belongs here. Any other threads where it might go?

Ed- These threads are living things and move in any direction. If you are hinting at the accident finding, the topic of the thread ultimately is that season so all is topical at your discretion, of course.

Somehow I missed this thread first time around. Yes, Hank Mather deserved a place in Chic Scott's book. Another person who should have been there was Leif-Norman Patterson. First winter ascent of Robson, first ascent of Trollveggen Wall in Norway, direct west face of Yerupaja in Peru, and more. I had the great fortune to do a couple of fine routes with him, and we failed on a couple of others. And he was a fine, gentle human being.

Having just spent a few days at JTree with a Fred confidant we could only
rue his lack (or aversion) of access to the intardnet. Why doesn't some
hottie sit him down to dictate while she types?
BTW, Steve, I started a thread I thought you might like but I guess I
misjudged my audience, except for Tami.
Maybe nobody cares?
