This photo of a chap topping out on the Walker Spur, Grand Jorasses, may not be iconic in the sense that we saw it a lot,
But to my mind, it is nonetheless quite iconic,
Because he's in that sweet spot way up there off the deck, completing a treacherous route:
He's cold, tired, exhilarated, and savoring those final edging moves.
And …he is STILL (and oh so) ALIVE, he has, save the descent, survived the climb:

Nice one Tar.
I'm thinking of the great soloing shot of Bachar high on the corner pitch of Oz, the little triangle of snow at the base. Once upon a time, you couldn't go into a climbing shop without seeing one of those Boreal posters.
Anyone have that one?

Surely Leo Dickinson's Dream of White Horses qualifies as iconic.
How many people have climbed the route because of this photo?

Who's got the pic of Yaniro's log-sized forearm in Joshua Tree?

Great pic of Beckey. Just talked to him last two weeks ago and he was skiing in Utah (said he hates the rain in Seattle...Go figure)
