In the first photo...note the shaped leather shoulder/neck protector for Dulfer style rapelling that Harding is wearing on his right shoulder. I still have mine from the mid-60's, used for rapping on laid Goldline ropes of the day. Saved some painful neck burns! |

I remember seeing some nasty burns on a guy in Camp 4 once that thought the Dulfer was gonna be ok on a rappel that turned out to be steeper than expected. |

Way, way less - Oliver Perry Smith - the very definition of badass in Dresden from 1903-14 and probably the best rock climber of the first half of the 20th century. |
