assmonkey Posted April 8, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assmonkey Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted April 8, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
