Ledge Rat, that's a great stereograph! As a geologist trained to use the naked eye to view stereographs, I had no problem seeing the 3-D perception.
Any idea who took the photos?

BaggerAss ski haus. Good one! I hadn't heard that before.
Do we have more wordplay for Badger Pass?

Video taken in 1927 by Virginia Best Adams of Ansel and his crew when he made his iconic "Monolith - the face of Half Dome" Photograph. Awesome climbing technique, too.
If the link breaks, just google Ansel Adams Diving board video

I know this is suppost ta be about Yosemite, but WTH. Mike Sherrick posed at Tahquitz Rock with some of the best rock climbers of the day.

Hey, since the Yosemite decimal system was invented at Tahquitz,
I think we can make allowances for content here, yo!
I had a hell of a time, Mouse, squaring that historical image of Toe Jam in the above B & W.
But here it is, Frank Hoover's hands are proximal to the baguette feature in the horizontal crack to the left of the climber in this picture:
What confused me is that most people climb Toe Jam via the start of a route called Spider.
Of course in the B & W, Frank is climbing it in the traditional way as chronicled in Vogel's guidebook, as opposed to the way it is most often shown here on Mountain Project.

Brian,
I noticed in another thread that you mentioned your health might be failing in a circling the drain sort of way.
Though it's the least of it, I have to say I am really going to miss your contributions to this thread when you are gone, whether that eventuality is in the near or far future. I hope it is the latter!

Thank you, Siegfried. I'll tell Roy. They'll both feel better.
Way better, in fact, and I think I'm qualified to speak for them.
Sho' nuff, it's been fun and I hope we both have a long life.
History has a way of expanding as we get older, n'est-ce pas?
Old images are like popsickles, frozen for who knows how long but still good, able to bring a smile or even a smirk.
Thanks for starting this and so many other worthwhile threads.

Mouse's photo from Dec 23 2018 has two unidentified's - they are Harry Daley on the left and "The Dolt" next to Tom Frost. Both also part of the Yosemite story.

I see your stringent Rule 1931 has been modified. Very good judgement, Roy.
HOT DANG! I caught the reception (haha) tonight to open the museum's exhibit, "Originals of Yosemite."
A nice assortment of old artifacts and photographs based on Yosemite's history, it will be in place thru June 9. It's worth a stop.
Hours are Wednesday thru Sunday, 1-4pm.
Merced County Historical Society is the go-to name of internet record.
The photographers and some painters you probably know of are represented, and a couple I'd not heard of, Cohen and Boysen, namely.
If no attribution mentioned, then I don't know it or it's unknown or something else.
