I learned to climb in 1970, so I missed these golden years of rock climbing. And I've never been to Yosemite. BUT, I can say that these climbers were giants of their time who influenced most of my climbing since those times.

Now at the age of 56 I'm still climbing (okay, not so hard of routes), and looking at this book made me realize I'm still a product of their energy and passion.

A great book with heart and soul.

Yosemite in the Sixties tells a story of men who develop and live their passion. For those willing to invest a couple of hours to see and feel this experience, Yosemite in the Sixties is a must.

Glen Denny is a tall quiet man. He expresses much in few words. His book is of his pictures. They speak more than many could say. His pictures show faces: "...a rock wall or a human being," Chouinard writes. Glen's pictures show people who define themselves by their passion for climbing rock walls.

I read this book three times. The story Glen tells truly is "A Movable Feast."

This book is a fantastic addittion to any climber's coffee table collection and an important part of Yosemite's rich climbing history. The photographs are excellent and the quality of reproduction is exceptional. Glenn Denny's images capture the essence of the moment and as such fire the imagination. This is now one of my favourite Yosemite pictorials, I absolutely recommend this book to you whether you are a climber, arm chair climber, photography enthusiast or just appreciate great contemporary photographic art.

This book is just awesome. The quality of the book and the pictures inside allow to feel the spirit in Yosemite in the sixties.
If you're into climbing and have been climbing in the valley, then this book is certainly for you!

This book is a magnficant example of photographs of my old climbing budies in the Environs of Yosemite. Anyone who was a rock climber in the late 50's/early 60s would likc this book.

All I can offer is that Glen Denny is the Salgado of Yosemite photography. He really is that good. Buy the book!
