Headwall Roof — Tom Frost Photo 1961 | 16x24 Poster

Tom leads pitch 29, the Salathe Wall, El Capitan. First ascent by Royal Robbins, Chuck Pratt, and Tom Frost, 9 days, September 1961.

"Most impressive of all were two awesome, and connected, sections near the top: a tiered ceiling they simply called the Roof and the overhanging wall just above, dubbed the Headwall. Above lay a 150-foot headwall, tilted five degrees beyond the vertical. The exposure defied description. An object let loose from here will spin free for about 400 feet before brushing the near-vertical cliff below." — Steve Roper, Camp 4

"It was the experience of a lifetime." — Tom Frost
