rst Time Since Creation Man Scales Precipice Grand Canyon, Sept. 16.
The 1,200 ft. precipice to Shiva's temple, a plateau on which no human has set foot since the dawn of creation, has been successfully scaled by five experienced mountaineers, the vanguard of an expedition sent by the American Museum of Natural History.
