assmonkey Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 I just read El Capitan: Historic Feats and Radical Routes by Daniel Duane and it whet my appetite for more. What are your book recommendations for a comprehensive history of climbing in Yosemite from the first technical rock ascents to the present day? TIA, -assmonkey Quote
assmonkey Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 Ok, I'd settle for a less comprehensive overview of the big milestones of Yosemite climbing from the Robbins days through the Bridwell days. Does that help? Am I fishing for an answer on the wrong board? ... Beuller? ... Beuller? Quote
slothrop Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 The Yosemite Free Climbs Supertopo book has some short histories of the various routes therein. Quote
texplorer Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 a 2nd to "Camp 4". It is exactly the book your looking for. Quote
cj001f Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 "Camp 4" By Roper You have to read "Downward Bound" if you read "Camp 4". Roper's a bit of a sanctimonious prick at times. Quote
assmonkey Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 Wie Bitte, picked up the Camp 4 book on the way home from work tonight. -a s s m o n k e y Quote
