Recollections of a Yosemite Rockclimber. In the 1960’s, California’s Yosemite
\nValley was the center of the rock-climbing universe. Young nonconformists\u00f1many
\nof them the finest rock climbers in the world-channeled their energy toward
\nthe largely untouched walls and cracks. Soon climbers from around the globe
\nwere coming to Camp 4-gathering spot for the creators of the Golden Age of
\nYosemite climbing-to see what all the fuss was about.<\/p>\n
Climber and author Steve Roper spent most of 10 years living in the Yosemite
\nValley with its intriguing inhabitants. Camp 4 is his take on the era’s top
\nclimbers and the influences behind their achievements. The text is full of
\nstories both hilarious and revealing about the likes of bolt-disdaining Royal
\nRobbins; fun-loving, big-wall expert Warren Harding; free-climber Frank
\nSacherer; multi-talented Chuck Pratt; master craftsman Yvon Chouinard; and
\nill-fated Mark Powell. Roper also tips his hat to the elder statesmen of the
\n1930s and 1940s who pioneered early, important climbs in the valley.<\/p>\n
Camp 4 looks at the most significant climbs, and the most riveting
\ncontroversies of a legendary era. With more than 50 fascinating historical
\nphotographs, most never before published, Camp 4 is the definitive chronicle
\nof the period.<\/p>\n
