This 11 by 14 inch black and white copy of a Ballard photograph is possibly from an Historical exhibit at Charles Butt's home in 2002.
There is a male mountain climber possibly between 50 and 65 years of age with his back to the photographer. He is holding on to a metal rung on a trail encircling large bolders. This could be the Precipice Trail.
