Dan moving through the cruxy section.

Jerry Malone [?spelling? ] Cleaning (poison ivy?) vines from Tarzan prior to the FA lead. For years I thought this was 1966 or 1967, but I finally found the movie film dated Nov. 1968, but even that must be wrong - I was in Buffalo, NY and he was in 'Nam.

More cleaning on Tarzan, Nov. 1968. . . …or more. Likely 1966 or 67.

"He flies through the air"...hence "Tarzan" after falling off before reaching the vines. Note the "swami" belt (photo from 8mm movie film).

I guess this is why it's called Tarzan!

The climber is a few feet to the right of the Tarzan route. Not sure what this one is called. This doesn't show the left-sloping ledge at the top of Tarzan (often covered in a thick patch of poison ivy).

Our 1968 TR setup (2 ropes tied together) used for cleaning the route. Note the rope was further out on the OH, rather than further right in the corner as seems to be done these days, giving a MUCH larger swing (from 8mm movie film)!

Cassy climbing Tarzan.
