The Grade IV Plus Wall Experience

This page will be open to all photo submissions. The only requirement is that they entail a route that is a Grade IV or greater and illustrates the BIG WALL EXPERIENCE. Does not have to be only the discipline of Aid, but of course, the immense and deep rooted spiritual experience of pushing the envelope on extreme Aid, is premier. FA's and topo's are also wanted and greatly appreciated. Any and all contributions are welcome. When posting the photos, please briefly add route name, routes original ascentist, rating/grade and location. Bring it on!

Once I had to hook two placements in a row. A part of me died that day! I can't imagine getting on this kind of terrain! I look forward to being scared but good by this album :D.

Things like this make me want to finally get to Zion and take in some of that magnificent scenery from the edge of a cliff.
