Description
Better than half a century after the primary ascent of El Capitan, the deeds of Yosemite’s 1950s-era Iron Age are no longer viewed as climbs or mere adventures. Fairly, they’re assaults at the human barrier, pushing that much higher.
Yosemite within the Fifties gives the stage almost entirely over to the unique source subject matter, the primary-person narratives, archive photos (artfully restored), and memorabilia particular to the seminal ascents of the era.
These words, images, and design, when cast from important angles, all succeed in across generations to resurrect vanished worlds. Yosemite in The Fifties is fashioned not such a lot as a book but as a wormhole back to an enchanted time within the history of exploration, and a classic era of Americana now lost in time.
