Larry Hamilton: climbing Rainbow Wall, White Room, etc. I began hiking and scrambling in the Front Range while I was a teenager, growing up west of Denver. A Stoney Point trip with the Mountaineering Club from UC Santa Barbara, where I started college in 1966, taught me how to belay and rappel. After that, my friends and I outfitted ourselves with hardware "seconds" that we picked up at bargain prices from Yvon Chouinard's shop in Ventura. Inspired by stories from Chouinard, Tom Frost and Dennis Hennek about the big walls of Yosemite, we began learning how to climb things on our own. We struggled through a long apprenticeship of epics in California, Colorado and the Alps that brought home the adage, "Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."
