In reply to paul mitchell:
renowned climber Don Lauria. Don is a retired engineer, lives in Bishop, and is the editor and CFO for the Bardini Foundation. He made the third ascent of the Dihedral Wall (1967), the second ascent of the North America Wall (1968), and the second ascent of the Wall of the Early Morning Light (1971), frequently climbing with Dennis Hennek. (from outdoorbiz podcast)

Back in the day I was inspired by a photo in Ken Wilson's Mountain magazine,of Hennek muscling up some aid on North America Wall.
