Harvey T. Carter (30 September 1930 to 15 March 2012) was an American rock climber best known for his hundreds of first ascents across Colorado and the wider western United States. In 1970 he founded Climbing magazine, starting it from his basement with 900 dollars. The partial list of his notable first ascents includes the Kissing Couple and Sentinel Spire in 1960, Kingfisher Tower and The Rectory in 1962, Echo Tower and Owl Rock in 1966, The Oracle in 1970 and Terra Tower in 1979. The source calls that list partial, so it is a sample of his climbing rather than a full record.
