About These are old slides and i did not have a scanner so i projected them on to a screen and reshot them with my D80. This is why they are so fuzzy and a bit old style looking.
This is a shot of Lydia Bradley "jugging" up the rope using ascenders. They are clamps that grab the rope in one direction in order to get up to my position. We were up on this climb for 2 days and the face is overhanging 110 degrees the whole way. AS you can see the rope is hanging down without touching the face. It was kind of freaky but after a while you get used to the exposure and just get down to the job at hand....climbing....(1981)
Lydia later was the first woman to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen in 1988.

Certainly an interesting perspective here, Tim, and thanks for the explanation for those of us who know nothing about climbing. I've always wondered about that method of copying slide (I have hundreds), it actually didn't turn out too badly!

Nice bit of history Tim, and as Dave said, the slide conversion technique hasn't turned out too bad.

Took awhile for the 110 degree slope to register...this being the last of the series I've viewed it comes off being the scariest.
