1967 9th October 2025 09:11:16 duncancritchley ascent Royal Robbins's ascent of Wall of Early Morning Light notes
Before
Robbins started the route with the aim of erasing it by chopping the bolts and rivets, considering the 400+ holes drilled by the first ascent party to be excessive. After two pitches, Robbins stopped chopping the bolts and rivets because (according to Lauria) "the quality of the aid climbing was much higher than he had ever expected of Harding or Caldwell and, of course, it was also taking us an awful long time to chop all those goddam bolts." [1] ### References [1] Harding, Warren (1990). Downward Bound: a Mad! guide to Rock Climbing. Birmingham, Alabama: Menasha Ridge Press. pp. 165–167.
