Yesterday I found this little gem in a thrift store. I only paid a quarter for it, but would have gladly paid the original cover price.

Too funny, I know the author. Alexis is an old time Salt Lake climber/skier/enviro.

What a score! I haven't read it all yet but the photos are fantastic. And in the same vein as Smith Curry's traverse pitch, here's that pitch last week:
It hasn't changed much...still poor rock, still manky fixed pro, still amazing position.

"Sodom on the Mora?"
One click and my progressives lenses did the rest.
I'll give you 75¢!
Thanks for that.

OK, here's the gravy on the biscuit. The summit-log entry by these very same blokes:
Hopefully the .jpeg is legible. (Note, I've never been on Ship Rock. This isn't my photo, don't ask how I got it, but I got the OK to post it.)
Since this was a legal ascent back in the day, I don't imagine anyone will care if their name is posted, but if it's a problem, lemme know.

Great mag score.
Our group was right around those pages in the early 80s. Very fun adventure that was.
