Few subcultures can boast an enduring influence quite like Yosemites original, Stonemasters. This ragtag group of young bucks eschewed the proscribed methods of their forefathers and blazed their own trails with style and panache, revolutionising the discipline of rock climbing in the process. The Stone Masters – California Rock Climbers in the Seventies charts the story of these trailblazers, utilising personality-driven prose and fantastic period photography. A must for connoisseurs.
