Publication Year: 1953.

California—Yosemite (2): On September 4, 1952, Arthur Baldonade (20) and his brother Robert (15) were rescued by rangers from the cliff ledges about 1000 feet above the valley floor near Columbia Point where they had become stranded on the ledge off the trail. They could not get up or down and called for help. Rangers roped down to them from the trail and brought them out unhurt. They were both inexperienced and had not registered for the climb.
