I arrived in the valley in one of the many clunker cars I owned then, during a spring break from college. The time was March, it was raining lightly, and only the lower parts of the great rock formations were visible. I had heard of climber Warren Harding's attempt to ascend the Nose of El Capitan, but he was not on the rock as far as I could see. . . . The year was 1958. . . .\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarding finished his climb of the Nose, along with Wayne Merry and George Whitmore, in November 1958.
