Lower Cathedral Spire, 1968. It's looking scary out there.
Gear list: two 150' x 7/16" goldlines, hiking boots, about 4 pitons, a few Clog hexes, and 10 oval biners.
We got to the top and back in just 14 hours.

My friend in the LCS photo, some years later, had the sad experience of cratering off Dogleg in JTree, breaking his ankle, then getting carried to a car by Peter Haan and Royal Robbins. So I've been told. Peter, you recall that?

JB posted a picture of "that other shoe," the PA. (Actually, PA's were the original French smooth-soled climbing shoe.) Anywhay, here is a pair trying to get their owner up Mellow Yellow at Skytop in the Gunks.
