I should have said It’s a photo of C.D milner from his book “Rock for Climbing”. I had a copy
when I was a youngster but it never had dust wrapper. Cheers All, Stay Safe.
It is indeed in the Dolomites and it is a Past President, but it’s actually Alec Ferguson on a trip with Johann Demetz and the photo was taken by Ken Davidson. Alec is climbing The Adang Kamin, proudly sporting Timpsons’ boots which according to the leaflet cost 51 shillings and 9 pence!
Eddie, Jean, I have a copy of Rock for Climbing and the photo you refer to Eddie is the frontispiece. In it the climber is about two feet lower than the climber above. You can see all the same rock details clearly. In the text of the book there is a photo of a climber coming towards the camera on the end of a rope at the exact same spot which is captioned “A traverse from the Adang Kamin”. Apologies if you know all this! But just in case.

Thanks Jim, that’s really interesting as I’ve not got that book.
