Here is the video of the 1936 first ascent of Lyell. It's entertaining in an historical way.

Was that right? An historical instead of a historical? I'm never sure. Maybe it's a baby boomer vs gen x thing.

Go to 11:57 to see the Mt. Clark viewpoint in the first photo above. And go to 15:56 to see the faces of the protagonists, including a young David Brower.

Amazing that this film survived and what a treat! The two shots of the Clark Range must have been made within a minute or so. Clouds almost identical.
