Yei Bi Chei and Totem Pole formation, Monument Valley, Arizona The PiP shows a photo of the trip 10 years later, other light, other film, other colors, may be, the reality is between the two scans. Sometimes it's not easy to achieve the correct colors, if the slides don't contain the right ones. The Totem Pole was first climbed in June 1957 by Bill Feuerer, Jerry Gallwas, Mark Powell and Don Wilson. A second route called "Never Never Land" was climbed in 1979. Parts of the 1975 thriller "The Eiger Sanction" (U.S. director Clint Eastwood) were filmed at Totem Pole. According to author Ron Hogan, in addition to directing and starring in The Eiger Sanction, Clint Eastwood did all his own stunts during the mountain-climbing sequences. Eastwood and his film crew were the last people to climb Monument Valley's Totem Pole. In order to gain permission for the shoot, they had to agree to clear the mountainside of all the pitons from previous climbing expeditions.
