Who is the owner of these fine specimens?!? From Mountain 24, November 1972.

Ah come on those belong to Fred Beckey. He is still wearing them. I heard Komito been resoling them since '56.

Those look familiar, from the late 1950s or early 1960s. Zillertals perhaps ? Worn by Yvon? The cord knickers also. I remember he liked those in the Tetons.

Smoke Blanchard, photo by Gordon Whiltsie? [Total guess--Wilson's has a full sized shot of that in Bishop--the Rubber Room'd make them look like new! (Tony/Nan/Dan--have a great new year!)]

This is an official farcing expedition as I don't actually know the answer. The truth will likely emerge considering the number of potential eye witnesses and the popularity of that image.

I always thought that photo had to actually be two people.

We must think of a suitable thing to do for someone who posts a question of this kind, to which he does not know the answer. :-)

"These boots were made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do..."

I think that is Carmel Shimmel.
I mean they're her boots.
Um, belong to... her, yes that grrrrrrrrl.

I just ran into Carmel at a Glen Denny slide show up here in Seattle. Sorry to sell your saddle Roy, but I don't think she's the one in your Patagonian dream$$$$$$$$
