Thanks Charles.
Unfortunately no photos, I didn't own a camera back then. We were way to busy climbing things to take pics.
And belaying, back then, took both hands. You know.

From the late 1970s, here are a few of Tobin Sorenson's major alpine climbing accomplishments:
FA of the Dru Couloir Direct, Chamonix, with Rick Accomazzo
First continuous ascent of the Eiger Direct, with the late Alex McIntyre
A ropeless solo ascent of the Matterhorn North Face, done in 8.5 hours
Grand Central Couloir, Mt. Kitchener, Canadian Rockies, with Jack Roberts
Sorenson later died in a fall on Mt. Alberta's North Face, during a solo attempt in 1980, at the age of 25.
Here is a photo of Tobin Sorenson from my image bank:
