Click on the picture to enlarge of the photo of Bachar and Kauk soloing Reed's Pinnacle Direct. Know that Mark and I were sitting on the top belay, having just done this two pitch test piece, when both of these guys came soloing up. (We got the impression that this was a common warm-up for them; totally casual as you might say in 1970s parlance.) Click on this text to access a short slideshow, evocative of the 1970s Yosemite scene, played to a medley of Hendrix. I am intrigued enough that I might shell out $60 for a copy of the book. Few memories are as good as Fall in the Valley during the late 1970s.
