One of the leading developers during the 1970s and 1980s was Sean Parent. He made the first ascents of many now-classics, such as Spiral Galaxy 5.8 and Discovery 5.5. Many of Parent’s photos were on old slides and were scanned by Fishman. Below are a select few, some of which will appear in the new guidebook. These days, Parent runs a guiding company on the east shore of Lake Superior called Superior Exploration, Adventure and Climbing, for more see here.
