Just Why Is Yosemite Climbing So Different ? Why Does It Have Techniques, Ethics And Equipment All Of Its Own ? The Basic Reason Lies In The Rock Itself.

I Have Always Abhorred The Tremendous Heat, The Dirt-filled Cracks, The Ant-covered Foul-smelling Trees And Bushes Which Cover The Cliffs, The Filth And Noise Of Camp 4 (the Climbers' Campground), And Worst Of All, The Multitudes Of Tourists Which Abound During The Weekends And Summer Months.
