by Jerry Yesavage, Copyright 1996
These are photos from a climb done in sometime maybe 1972or 1973 up Northwest Face Higher Cathedral Spire in Yosemite National Park, California, USA. For more information suggest 1964 edition of Steve Roper's A Climber's Guide to Yosemite Valley.
Note from November 2010... luckily slides were digitalized a while ago.
