Warren was left handed so I am pretty sure it is right Simon.

While I have not found the image I wanted I found another on page 127 of Downward Bound of Warren on the Great Arch of SFHD and he has the same clothing on and a similar rack. I realize that is not good enough since white pants were common by that time.
I have checked Ascent and AAJ but no luck yet. I KNOW I have seen that image in print!

Guido, you are probably at that point in life, as I am, where you could hide your own Easter eggs. Some more photos.

p.s. Simon, Did you ever see any of his shows? Could be why they are familiar.

FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That picture of Warren leaning away from his pin was taken by Galen Rowell on the FA of Kalona Rock in Hetch Hetchy. The pic is plate 65 in the 1972 AAJ and is captioned" Warren Harding on a ceiling on the North Face of Kalona Rock."
The route was done Memorial Day weekend in 1971 by Harding and Rowell and they rated it V, F9, A3. 1,800 feet, 16 pitches with more than 50% of them free.
I KNEW I had seen that image before!!!

Good job Simon tracking it down. I remember that article especially the picture of them looking miserable in the snow. Here's your reward.
Enjoy,
Ken
