Half a century ago a rag-tag group of innovators was building a foundation for
\nmodern American rock climbing from a makeshift home base in Yosemite.
\nPhotographer Glen Denny was a key figure in this golden age of climbing,
\ncapturing pioneering feats on camera while tackling challenging ascents
\nhimself.<\/p>\n
In entertaining short pieces enlivened by his iconic black-and-white images of
\nYosemite’s big wall legends, Denny reveals a young man’s coming of age and
\nprovides a vivid look at Yosemite’s early climbing culture. He relates such
\nprecarious achievements as hauling water in glass gallon jugs up the east face
\nof Washington Column, nailing the 750-foot Rostrum in a punishing heat wave,
\nand dangling overnight on El Capitan’s Dihedral Wall in a lightning storm.<\/p>\n
Each true tale captures the spirit of historic Camp 4, where Denny and others
\nplan the next big climb while living on the cheap and dodging park rangers.<\/p>\n
