A great interview with Batso while he was still in the thick of it! From Mountain 9, May 1970.

That series of Galen portraits are some of the best shots of Warren, IMO.

I got to go to the slide show Warren had at the Swallows Nest in Seattle after his wall of the early morning light climb, he had a funny picture of him taking a dump in sturups... He is a very short person, Jimm

That photo of Warren on Keeler needle stunningly resembles the late Muggs Stump to me.
R.I.P. Warren and Muggs!

The really striking resemblence is between Warren and Galen Rowell. A short week of beard growth and those two are ringers!
