Yo ED... put that Summit article and pic in if you have it... no problems as it has been over 20 years now and anything personal is no longer so!! Thanks Mike for the nice words, even though I bailed on you last year!! The years go by really fast folks so do things while you have the chance....

ok, I'll put this up in my priority bin...

...as for Playboy, I don't think any cover of that magazine ever motivated me to go out and do the things I did because of the covers of Mountain, Ascent, Climbing and Summit. Probably some deviant gene.

Here's a link to the Ascent covers in another post...just for the sake of cross-referencing.

yeah, the graphic layouts for the '70's issues of mountain were as clean as they come. ken wilson took his cues from ascent, which pioneered mountain's "look". ken wilson, alan steck, and roper are unsung geniuses of climbing periodical graphics. they rocked.
