On Episode 155 of the Enormocast, I sit down in Lynn Hill‘s office with artist, photographer, climber, historian, Dean Fidelman. Dean was/is a Stonemaster, was/is a Stone Monkey – the only guy to really span those two distant eras. His climbing odyssey began in the early 70s at Stony Point in Los Angeles, and 40 some years later, Dean remains dedicated to living the dream in Yosemite, a place he found not long after beginning climbing. Now Dean is striving to chronicle all the history he has seen through the lens of his camera and hoping to mentor those who will capture the epic climbing history of today and tomorrow.

Hello Dean,
An old friend of mine gave me a photo of you and I taken in front of Foto/Carrier. Maybe 30 plus years ago. My daughter looked up your name and found your website. It seems things are going well for you and it was great to see your face again. I now live in Mexia, Texas operating our family farm with cows, tractor and zero turn lawnmower with a 72 inch cutting path. Best of luck, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
