I enjoyed reading this. I’m not a climber, but a daughter of Glen Dawson.

Wow. What a radddddical read, got me so incredibly excited to climb on sugar again! Thanks for details behind all this history. I can't imagine questing up those sand dunes without modern anything!

Same here! I was too focused on finding hard natural lines when I lived there, but wish I had spent more time climbing these mostly 4th class old routes. (Actually did climb Cathedral and others as solo missions, but not the GWT, sadly). Lady Mountain anyone? (Secret classic)
