From left to right - Possibly Roper?, Wayne Merry, ?, Warren. I scanned this from a Dolt proof sheet.
Thanks,

Gotta love the Argyll.
On the left: Roper? Didn't he break his leg one season?
The Batso visage is a classic!

I think it had to be taken in 1957 as there are pictures of Warren leading to Sickle Ledge on the same film strip.

I was thinking of 1957 also, because Harding and Vogel did the Harding Route on the Glacier Point Apron that year, and other pictures I've seen of the two of them taken in that year look quite similar.
Roper's big ice climbing fall occurred several years later, so I suspect that wasn't Roper in the photo. I know Mark Powell's fall and subsequent broken ankle on Arrowhead Spire was in 1957, but no one looks like Powell (at least to my eyes) in that picture.

Wayne Merry and Harding certainly. The guy with crutches is not Roper; his head is to narrow I believe. Not Dolt.
