A Climbers Climber: On the Trail With Carl Blaurock

Carl Blaurock was climbing mountains in the days before nylon rope and factory-made pitons, in the days of edging nails instead of vibram soles, in the days of newspapers stuffed in shirts and pants to keep the wind from cutting through. A Climber's Climber is the chronicle of photographer Carl Blaurock's climbs in the Colorado Rockies and Wind River Mountains of Wyoming from 1909 to 1929. These are the stories Carl told to Barbara Euser in 1979 about the climbig adventures he had had more than fifty years before.
