William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

Muir writes of his pleasure in meeting George Anderson, ""the indomitable cragsman, ... the first person to set foot on the great South Dome [Half Dome]."" In advising one to make the ascent of Tissiack, he comments, ""On these vast aerial thrones one always receives lasting impressions of an utter isolation from all the known ways of the world, leaving the soul free to expand and blend with fountain nature, as if one had died and gone to another star.""
