Re: Great Stuff!!You have a most impressive list of El Cap ascents I must say! I thought about doing this again perhaps for my 50th, although it kicked my ass when we did it. But with todays gear it must be far easier! Not to mention the now bomber belays. Back in 1982 it was a whole different experience!!

Re: Great Stuff!!Thanks craig. I did the route in 1989. We did have cams and tcu's which made for less nailing. This is one of my favorite routes because of how natural the line is. The crack system that goes from the gray bands to the summit roofs is just increadable climbing. What other routes have you done?

Re: Great Stuff!!Ya, in 1982 it was mostly nailing, and a big rack at that. I've done Zodiac ( in '83 ), Dihedral Wall ( ' 81 ), New Dawn ( '82 ), The Shield ( '84 ), 10 other Grade V's in Yosemite and the Sierras and an early attempt on the East Face of the South Tower of Paine - all on my profile here.
