That bivy is one of the reasons why I have a lot of respect for climbers. It is also one of the reasons why I'll never be one.

WOW!! I couldn't imagine a bivy like that!! I was at the base of El Cap last summer and I was in total awe of those climbers! Laid in the meadow and watched them through the binoculars! You're a special breed!

What ever happened to the good ol' days when hardmen spent the night trying unsuccessfully to sleep squashed up in a hammock? The port-a-ledges are CHEATING!!!! (:

Great photo, looks like a MANSION!
