Bridwell's Brave New World Yosemite Ratings Mountain 31 1974
1974. Jim Bridwell on Outer Limits, the Cookie Cliff, Yosemite valley. My favourite cover and my all time favourite edition (no 31) of my all time favourite climbing magazine, Mountain. Classic edition and one of the few mags I could never bring myself to give away. The most inspirational magazine edition of my life.
