Excellent-condition first-edition hardcover. Signed and inscribed by author Steve Roper to Steve Komito: "For Steve Komito, old friend, lover of books, and surely, by now, the elder statesman of Colorado climbing. Tempis Fugit. Roper." November 1994.
Steve Roper was an early and frequent visitor to Yosemite Valley - he wrote the very first 1964 guidebook! (Komito has a signed copy of that, too). This memoir tells his perspective on those early days, living and climbing amidst the many names we all know: Chouinard, Robbins, Harding, Steck...
Half the profit from the sale of this book will go to Steve Komito. Look for more material signed by Steve Roper and Allen Steck to go on sale in coming days.
