The author recalls his experiences over ten years he spent climbing the rock walls and peaks of California's Yosemite Valley
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In the 1960s, California's Yosemite Valley was the center of the rockclimbing universe. It was the perfect place for young nonconformists to drop out, hang loose, and channel their energy into climbing the valley's largely untouched walls and cracks. Many of these "misfits" were the finest rock climbers in the world. Some even shaped the future of the sport. And by the end of the decade, climbers from around the globe were coming to Camp 4 - gathering spot for the creators of the "Golden Age" of Yosemite climbing - to see what all the fuss was about. Climber and author Steve Roper spent most of ten years living in Yosemite Valley with its intriguing inhabitants. Camp 4 is his take on the era's top climbers and the (sometimes whimsical) influences behind their achievements.
It's a rousing read. (Royal Robbins)
... captures the real spirit of the Golden Age of American rock climbing. (Yvon Chouinard)
Informed, insightful, masterful. (Climbing magazine)
