MAKING HISTORY Left: When Denny, Layton Kor, and Steve Roper climbed The Nose in 1963, they nabbed the route's third ascent. Pictured here is a team on the fourth ascent, in 1965. Denny returned to the Nose-for its seventh ascent-in 1968 to film "El Capitan." Right: Royal Robbins rests after completing the first ascent of "Tis-sa-ack" on Half Dome with Don Peterson in 1969.
