Companion to the classic Yosemite in the Sixties, this book uses the words of
\nthe climbers of the time and artfully restored photographs to chronicle the
\nhistoric first ascents of Yosemite’s ‚mile-high‘ granite walls, the legendary
\npersonalities who risked their lives to climb them, and how their endeavors
\ninitiated the birth of adventure sports.<\/p>\n
Better than half a century after the first ascent of El Capitan, the deeds of
\nYosemite’s 1950s-era Iron Age are no longer viewed as climbs or mere
\nadventures. Rather, they are assaults on the human barrier, pushing that much
\nhigher. Yosemite in the Fifties gives the stage almost entirely over to the
\noriginal source material, the first-person narratives, archive photos
\n(artfully restored), and memorabilia particular to the seminal ascents of the
\nera.<\/p>\n
These words, images, and design, when cast from critical angles, all reach
\nacross generations to resurrect vanished worlds. Yosemite in The Fifties is
\nfashioned not so much as a book but as a wormhole back to an enchanted time in
\nthe history of exploration, and a classic era of Americana now lost in time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
