Going Up

Tales Told Along The Road To El Capitan

The core of Going Up is a collection of stories about those California rock
climbers in the 1950`s who took to the big walls of Yosemite Valley. We were a
very small group, fewer than twenty young men who also pioneered climbs at
Tahquitz Rock, the southwest desert, the Tetons, and Canada. The book is also
about growing up in those times, a kind of sociology of the nascent climbing
scene.
