The Telluride story is from 1978 or 1979. I went there 4 times, first two years as a student(1974 and 1975), then as a “guide schooler”, then as a full fledged guide, responsible for groups of 8 or so for 7-9 day adventures in the mountains of the western slope. Writing about the history of the area is bringing back memories of those wild times. They don’t make mountaineering schools like they used to. At least, not of the caliber of Dave Farny.
