An Absurd Piece of Mountain Climbing History, The Abominable Mountaineering Calendar From Noted Outdoorsman and Illustrator Sheridan Anderson
Anderson, Sheridan. The Award Winning 1974 Sheridan Anderson Abominable Mountaineering Calendar. Summit. Big Bear Lake, CA. 1973.
Original, surreal calendar by noted mountaineer, fly fisherman, outdoorsman, author and illustrator Sheridan Anderson (1939 – 1984) with the months arranged alphabetically for “convenience”. Published by the first American climbing magazine, Summit, this absurdist calendar includes a “signed” portrait drawing of a smiling Mt. McKinley as well as a faux advertisement for the WWII German amphetamine pervitin along with many other gags. Anderson, who died in 1984, remains best remembered for his famous Curtis Creek Manifesto, an entertaining, illustrated humorous guide to the sport and lifestyle of fly fishing, released in 1976.
