I found two snapshots of the second ascent of Helm's Deep (5.10)on Rappel Rock from back in the 70's. I did the route with Rich Thompson.
Rounding the chickenheaded roof on the first pitch.
Easy climbing leaving the stance on the second pitch before the difficulties ensue.

Paul and I were debate partners in highschool in Tucson. I introduced him to climbing around 1972. Coming from a wrestling background, he took to it readily and we became a very strong team. Paul used to be able to do multiple one finger/one arm pullups on a loop of 7mm cord!
This shot of rapping down Hitchcock Rock appeared in my 74 Tucsonian yearbook. My sister Barbara was the editor.

Also the use of code acronyms for the people in the article. JS, EZ, HS...
