{"product_id":"9781930238695","title":"Valley Walls: A Memoir of Climbing and Living in Yosemite","description":"Half a century ago a rag-tag group of innovators was building a foundation for modern American rock climbing from a makeshift home base in Yosemite. Photographer Glen Denny was a key figure in this golden age of climbing, capturing pioneering feats on camera while tackling challenging ascents himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn entertaining short pieces enlivened by his iconic black-and-white images of Yosemite's big wall legends, Denny reveals a young man's coming of age and provides a vivid look at Yosemite’s early climbing culture. He relates such precarious achievements as hauling water in \u003ci\u003eglass\u003c\/i\u003e gallon jugs up the east face of Washington Column, nailing the 750-foot Rostrum in a punishing heat wave, and dangling overnight on El Capitan’s Dihedral Wall in a lightning storm. Each true tale captures the spirit of historic Camp 4, where Denny and others plan the next big climb while living on the cheap and dodging park rangers.","brand":"Yosemite Conservancy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137520910576,"sku":"9781930238695","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781930238695_p0.jpg?v=1763638079","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781930238695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
