Aloha Ed,
I VERY MUCH appreciate the work you are doing on behalf of the climbing community, generally, and specifically on the Mountain Index Project. Since I was one of the editors for Mountain 4, the Yosemite Issue, I have an extra copy that I'd be honored if you would accept. I'd also inscribe my appreciation for your work and for your generally generous attitude here on the Taco Stand. If you already have acquired Mountain 4, I suggest that we (someone!) get a ton of signatures on my copy at the up-coming Nose Reunion and offer it to Y.C.A. for their next silent auction fund-raiser. And if some generous person (like Fattrad) wins the auction and can use the tax-deduction, he or she could then donate that copy to Y.C.A., perhaps to be auctioned again. Imagine sustainable financial support...
Ultimately, I'd like to collections such as yours and mine preserved in such a way that people can also appreciate the history that they represent. And you are doing just that. What goes around, comes around.
If other readers have ideas about preserving our collective climbing heritage, please feel free to share them here or on the other thread where ideas are being gathered:

'Ano 'Ai BooDawg - thanks for the offer! I don't have Mountain 4 but your idea sounds great, of getting signatures, we've been through this with Marty(r)'s project (http://yosemiteclimber.blogspot.com/); with Yosemite Climber so he and Roger Breedlove would have some ideas about the auction, and raising money, etc...
I have a plan for the Mountain collection, we'll see how hard it is and how long it takes, but collecting is one thing, figuring out how to share the collection is an important part of the puzzle for me...
...so I'd love to have your copy for my collection, but I would like it even more if it did some good supporting a grand cause like Ken's YCA, or some other important climber institution...

Aloha Ed,
Since I cannot attend the Nose 2nd Ascent Reunion, I'll send you the copy of Mountain #4 if you PM me your snail mail address. In the meantime, I'll PM Roger and Ken Y. about this plan and get their input on it.
Will you be going to the Reunion? Could you be the one to solicit signatures on the Mountain 4?
Looking forward...

Oh the last pitch of I Can't believe It's a Girdle.
How funny I wonder who reported it. Certainly not me.
I never reported anything. Still it is good to clear that up.
Thank you Doc Touni for the hard work on the Mountain Index.

Thank you very very much for these indexes! I've had issues from 42 till the end for five years now. Finally I can use them to full potential!
Would you mind if I publish them on my site www.patagonia.fi? I'd like to share these as wide as possible if it's ok for you.

adnix please feel free to use them, I believe that they are the work of a number of people and I'd like to keep the information as much in the public domain as possible...
Indexing is grueling work for me, and I've failed to make as much progress indexing from issue 136 to the end... but it is still a project I'm grinding through, so hopefully we'll have that too.
Please note that there are errors that are introduced in the process of scanning and recognizing text, as well as the original errors in both the indices and in Mountain (notorious misspellings of names most often).
I am working on combining all of the indices into a single index that spans the entire collection... stay tuned.
But by all means make use of the current indices... the relevance of Mountain is greater as time passes, not less.
