El Cap Tree, Regular Route 5.6 A2 III 1952 Allen Steck Will Siri Bill Dunmire Bob Swift
Bob, when did you do the FA of Harris' Hangover? seems the date has been lost from the grand record of climbs...
He has a wonderful site too: http://bswifter.net/gallery/climbing/home.html
and some recent mention... Steck's El Cap Tree TR
From the AAJ 1952 p352, Club Activities, Sierra Nevada Section...
"...Several ascents by members of the Sierra Nevada Section are worthy of mention. William Dunmire, Allen Steck and James Wilson took part in the ski ascent of Mt. Tyndall. Alfred Baxter was a member of the party that climbed Mt. Bear and then, by a new route, Mt. Bona. Dunmire and a companion climbed the Phantom Pinnacle of Yosemite. John Salathe and a companion climbed the S. face of Sugar Loaf Dome in Little Yosemite. The ascent involved the usual class-six inconveniences : bivouacs, expansion bolts and slings."

fire, Bob.
