Thanks Malcolm-- that picture of JB hiking the lamb is killer.

Very inspiring, as so many shots of John are. F*#KING BADASS.

Gene,

Great shot of Porter...THE FA of the Shield. Damn.... The cracks above him aren't pinned out yet (weird thought, sorry).

Thanks for posting that one.

Never seen that particular Shield photo!

I think another real Iconic Shield shot is the color pic looking down at maybe Sutton, cleaning.

That photo was lifted off the Taco beta page for the Shield.

If there is anyone out there that does NOT own a copy of the George Meyers book, "Yosemite Climber" I suggest you drop your knitting and find one. It is a wonderful source for wintertime drooling. There are perhaps too many iconic images in there to post now, but here are a couple that just reek of Valley days gone by.

First, Dale Bard at the Rurp belay on Sea of Dreams (photo Diegleman.)

Next, the man, the myth, the legend... Werner wonderin' why it is he does walls. PO Wall.

For those wanting more Shield shots... This last page is lifted from Mountain 44. The pictures show Chuck Pratt during the third ascent and were taken by Steve Sutton.

a truly Iconic image (it was in my head between decades of actual

viewing) From Scuffy B;

Anyone here, that calm & collected, at the lower crux of Midterm?

I'm also partial to the one the Colonel has (in his enclave) of me, cleaning the triple cracks.

RE Bard on Bridwell's 4 Rurp belay:

Is that all there really was? Could they haul on that?!

Barto: No, there was a 1.5" bolt and a 1" bolt (or rivit???) ...I broke the last drills that I had, the rock was super dense and the rurps were A-1. We didn't haul there but just climbed through.

DD--

Interesting. This is still one of my favorite photographs of all time. That grin coveys the elation that I've felt when things get outrageous.

These are good BUT the best photo EVER is Dave Diegelman grinding his teeth while try to get the clip on Seperate Reality!

I don't have a scanner. I remember stumbling into the local climbing shop and looking at the book section- There was a picture of Devils Tower and it blew me away to think that it could be climbed-Thirty plus years later I can still remember how amazed I was

In Vertical world of Yosemite there is a picture of El Cap with a little red dot showing some climbers-

From the Chouinard catalog Tobin Sorenson buckling his helmet on the Eiger

TarBuster thanks for the Birds shot on Naked Edge- is that from "Climb"

Great thread
