Re: Fletcher Vs Kephart

Where does it say that Harding didn't drink himself to death in a trailer? (Sadly, he did.) Harding was an accomplished and romantic figure, regardless of means and locale of his demise. Harding had a major influence on climbing and even the larger culture, but his influence as derived soley from writing is very minor compared with Fletcher or Kephart. I doubt very much that Harding ever visited the Gunks.
