I'm working on a new edition of the Yosemite Big Walls book with Erik Sloan (release date not yet known).

There will be a bunch of new routes that i am looking to get history for. I am having trouble tracking down some of the first ascentionists. If any of you have contact info for any of the following people i would greatly appreciate it if you could email me at chris@supertopo.com.

Layton Kor
Tom Fender
Kim Shmitz
Hugh Burton
Rich Albushkat
Joe Faint
Tom Bepler

I am working on Layton for you. One of my friends climbed extensively with him and might still be in contact with him.

Are you going to include Mr. Sloan’s controversial RETRO-bolting practices in this new book? I’ll be sure to give you an updated Zodiac topo.


Hugh was at the solstice party on the Eastside in June so he is around – don’t know how to contact him though.

Rich committed suicide last year, sorry to say.

Ran into Kim Schmidts (sp?) in Jackson Hole last summer. I'll bet easy to get ahold of him thru Exum.

I think Hugh still does construction work in Mariposa County. You might be able to contact him through Sue or Dan McDevitt.
