Have since been on one of these formations (a lot) after seeing this article.

Let it never been said that ST is totally bereft of all inspiration.

This article was definitely instrumental in inspiring trips to Kerckoff, Charlotte, Fresno and Calaveras Domes among others. Another big influence was Galen's article in Climbing Magazine on High Sierra climbing with photos of Russell's west face and the East Peak of Barnard. I think it was in 1972 or so and had Norman Clyde on the cover. I ate this stuff up back then along with all the first ascent notes in Ascent and the AAJ. I still have things in the Sierra on my hit list but have to get this cast off my leg first. Just had ankle-replacement surgery. It's hell getting old.

F*#k!! Where did these anchors around my feet come from? Arrrggghhhh, where is my long treasured freedom to go where I wanted, when I wanted to go?



Oh wait, that's right, I signed up voluntarily when I had children....

I read the West Side Story article in early '74 and the next day Jay Smith and I were off to Calaveras in a driving rain storm.
