Good history of climbing in Yosemite January 26, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Overall, a good history of climbing in Yosemite that covers early years to the early 1990's. Some well written narratives, but occasionally dry at times. If you want a better history of the years before 1970, read "Camp 4," by Steve Roper.
