Fritz Weissner

"Two years later a strong German climber named Fritz Weissner came up the Franklin bear trails to Waddington, guided by Jim Stanton. He brought strange new techniques that most North American climbers had barely heard of: extreme crack climbing, pitons, the modern dynamic belay. He and his climbing partner had good luck with the weather, and they were the first to take turns standing on the summit of Mt. Waddington." - Laurie Williams / MeadowMom here.
