Untuched virgin crags -- in Nevada

<< < (2/2)

RonAnderson:
We were out there around Fallon decades ago..  Thought it to be a bit rubble-y   Ill bet Alvin McClane did something there..   Dont know about the viaferrata stuff.

T Hock:
Alvin seems to be quite the Nevada legend,
you ever meet him or rope up Ron?

RonAnderson:
NO I knew his brothers though..     But i read and knew about him BITD  -- a geologist and climber of the Great basin and surrounds-- out where no one had ever ventured..  He did one of the very first routes at the Wild Granites and many many other places throughout NV..   He never did a guide or journal that i know of..   BUt we have found old anchors,, fixed pins and fixed chocks that were very likely evidence of Alvin lol! 


    Kind like the Fred Becky of Nevada if you will..Only in Nevada your in a small club of climbers- especially back a few decades..  No one knew what we were doing- it was way too far out in the "wilderness" and away from "the valley".
