California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties
The story told by the photographs in California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties takes place against the larger backdrop of postwar America. The photographs in this volume include images of legendary surfers such as Joe Quigg, Tom Zahn, Dale Velzy and Renny Yater, in locations such as Rincon, Malibu, South Bay, Laguna and San Onofre; and famous climbers such as Warren Harding, Royal Robbins and Wayne Merry among others, photographed mostly in the Yosemite Valley by the likes of Bob Swift, Alan Steck, Jerry Gallwas and Frank Hoover. Soaked in surf, sun and adrenaline, the photographs in California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties depict the birth of an era and an exhilarating moment in Californian history. Published by T. Adler Books with text from Yvon Chouinard, Steve Pezman, and Steve Roper.
