mike_m Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Glen Denny will be presenting a slideshow based on his recent book of B&W photos of "Yosemite in the Sixties" at 7pm next Friday night, 11/14, at the new Mountaineers clubhouse. (7700 Sandpoint Way; Bldg 67 at Magnuson Park). Should be a great program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Anyone else go to this presentation? The new Mountie facility looks really spiffy. The show was fun and there was a pretty diverse crowd. The sound system needed a bit of tweaking (in otherwords it was difficult to hear everything) but otherwise it was a good presentaion. There was even a shot of CC.com's own Mister E! The only thing missing was a couple of kegs in the lobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It was cool to see a photo of ~24 year old Fred, with ~84 year old Fred there in the audience... Among other things. Lots of great photos there, of heros and fireballs. I especially liked the early shots of Dihedral Wall, his 3rd ascent of the Nose, and the blankness of NA Wall.

Peter_Puget Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think Fred was much older than 24 in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climbinggal Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was there, was great to meet Fred Beckey and Glen Denny; the history of their climbing was quite interesting, a year on from learning to climb and he was up a huge wall like that, I could not compete with that.
