I arrived in the valley in one of the many clunker cars I owned then, during a spring break from college. The time was March, it was raining lightly, and only the lower parts of the great rock formations were visible. I had heard of climber Warren Harding’s attempt to ascend the Nose of El Capitan, but he was not on the rock as far as I could see. . . . The year was 1958. . . .\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarding finished his climb of the Nose, along with Wayne Merry and George Whitmore, in November 1958. It was not until four years later that I returned to Yosemite Valley, first to climb, then to enter into a romance with recording images of one of the most fantastic places on this planet.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Falcon Guides","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47625594700031,"sku":"9780762769957","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_568e6971-6c21-440b-9c50-a49de09fcb58.jpg?v=1764882308","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780762769957","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
