Need to bump this thread, if only to ensure that PTPP gets some good ideas for vertical freight handling. Right down his alley, apparently.
I guess if he wants, Pete can always just say "Harding and them took way longer, and way more gear, than I ever have."

I don't know, man, Pete's got a pile of gear. I think he was some kinda boy scout, or whatever Canada has....Be prepared.

Say, where is Ken ? Pro went away for the weekend. He inspired me to go through my library and get reacquainted with the book Yosemite and Its High Sierra by John H. Williams, San Francisco, 1921.
"There is no death; love paid the debt;
Tho' moons may wane and men forget,
The mountain's heart beats on for aye;
Who truly loved us cannot die."
And so I wait, nor gear the tide
That comes so swiftly on to hide
My little light. The mountains glow;
I have their promise, and I know.
Forward to book by John H. Williams.....and tonight I dedicate "Who truly loved us cannot die" to my husband Dan. Know you are having the time of your life buddy...love Lynne

Thanks Kenny & Ed... its great to see all of these photos, letters and articles, much of them for the first time. What a great time those guys must have had back then. It makes my day and warms my heart to see all of these priceless historical gems. If you have more and you have the time, I'd love to see them... all the best, Craig

I posted these a year or two ago.
Notes from the climb.
Ken
P.S. There is an Argosy article that I thought I had scanned and posted that I can't find. I have two copies and will scan when I can.

Ken - when you scan the article, see if the scanner has OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software that you can run. This will translate the scanned document into text, which can greatly reduce the presentation size of the document.
This can also be a part of the scanned document (sits "behind" the document) as is done on the American Alpine Club site. I used the OCR'd document (via select text in Adobe reader) to extract the text and put it into the STForum on the two posts above. As OCR software is not perfect, a step of editing the text so supplied is necessary to correct some ambiguities.

Gosh, after reading all this and some other materials it's darn right awful to think that Mr.'s Harding and Feurer won't be able to attend this 50 year reunion.
I'm asking myself, why should I be able to go when the two guys that pulled it off can't be there?
Any techo wizards have ideas on how we can include them in the festivities......or get them there? lrl

I’m going to snake Ken on this one.
101 is the better position at the top of the page.
Ken, where do you find this stuff?
Keep it coming, I’ll be there for this event!

Largo, I hope you can make it. Mike, thanks for snagging the 100th. YCA has so much stuff it is hard to remember it all. I just received Warrens haulbag today. I am pretty sure it was used on the Wall of the Early Morning Light. It is well worn and bright orange. Further research is neccessary.
I have at least 15 sets of Descent Magazines in mint condition. Only 3 with every set. The latest 1990 edition may be the rarest of all. It is only 4 pages and here they are.
