Californian climber, one of the first Yosemite Camp 4 climbing bums, and SW desert explorer.
Powell was responsible for many Yosemite 1950s first ascents [3]. A strong free climber, he led most of the first 1000' on the first ascent of The Nose (A2) but withdrew from the team after he badly fractured his ankle.
