The contents
The current exhibit in the Yosemite Museum has been extended to November 9th and it has a fair amount of Nose items. You can see some of this stuff.

I saw the display... Loved it. Ken it really shows that that you are getting your arms around how to present your extensive collection to the climbers and the masses.
Thank you for your efforts!

The summit register.

"Do you boys have a permit?"

This thread was sinking fast. I have to keep it near the top so I don't lose it. I have plenty more to throw on it.
What was all the hoopla about? Cold War and other news.
Here is the fancy climbing vest that Harding mentions in his letter to Calderwood.

Not another letter!
Directions to the party.
Could be 3rd class, especially after the party.

Lightweight aluminum angle definitely well used.
Before mountain shops, gear was bought at the local hardware store.

Most of you are speechless. Some things weren't such a good idea. For example, this bail cord. Well, it was used for fixing and bailing to the bar.
These never really caught on either.
Harding and his winch. This idea never caught on either. Apparently climbing and winches don't mix.

The power is out again here. I bought a generator and it gives me something to do in the dark. Awesome!

Speechless.
Awesome thread.
That well-written letter from the FA party to the NPS is a jewel.
