Yes Chiloe,
I led that Diving Board thing...
I got up to that reach, 'felt like a stretch.
So I slithered down a few moves in the offwidth (didn't weight any gear) thought of Werner soloing in the Valley Wide arena and charged back up for the finish.

I had my own sequence for that crux, different from Roger's ... left jam low, step high, torque up and reeeeach with your right ....
Worked for me. I loved Diving Board, for a while.
Back before the Naked Edge went free, Bob Culp's shop sold a postcard of two aid climbers, with pigeons flying around behind them. I've forgotten who took that picture, which was inspiring as well.

Tarbuster,
You seem to have lots of scans of early issues of Climbing. Would you happen to have the cover shot of a certain blond kid on Rosy Crucifixion? Probably on one of the first 5 or 6 issues.
edit: maybe not iconic to some but certainly to me.

I have that book, and that shot is by far the most memorable one in it. I remember it hanging in the Yosemite climbing shop about 20 years ago or so. The rope hanging below him completely makes the shot.

Hah! I heard last week from a certain guidebook author who is trying to get Eric A to unearth the
original of that photo from somewhere in his garage, where allegedly it was last seen.

Ok, maybe not an iconic photo, but definitly an iconic climb and one of my favorite climbing photos. The only way it could be better is if it were J.B. himself in the picture.

This one was iconic in 1975, and still is. So iconic that I've seen several derivative commercial versions in the last while. Take as the American K2 expedition first got to greenery on the way home.
Taken by Galen Rowell, and an evocative photo of a good friend.

Nanga Parbat, July 4, 1953. Buhl returning to camp, shattered after an open-air bivy (standing up, no food, no O2, and his sweater (!) left at the tent) on descent from the only solo FA of an 8,000 meter peak.
