2003. 184 pp, 200+ photos. A thorough history of one of the most popular rock climbing areas in Canada, a huge cliff near Banff. Large paperback. 

The 'great wall of stone' rising so prominently above the Trans-Canada Highway between Calgary and Banff, is the birthplace of modern rockclimbing in the Canadian Rockies. Since then Yam has been the scene of both triumph and tragedy, events meticulously documented by Scott and Dornian. Gadd gives us the background; the geology and human history and ends with a walk 'up the backside', detailing the flora and fauna.
