Classic climbing photos

this has probably been discussed here on the tubes more than once, but no matter... |
|
I always see this one floating around. Steve House and Mark Twight on Denali |
|
Simone Morro. |
|
Many many Rebuffat ones are classic. In the pop culture US climbing context the Bridwell/Long/Westbay NIAD pose stands out. |

Here's Gullich soloing Separate Reality. |
|
This photo (taken by I believe his wife) has always inspired me. |
|
this is one of my favorite shots of Royal Robbins, taken on the way down after the 1st ascent of Tis-Sa-Ack. |
