Wooo!
"I have to focus on Jim’s needs for the moment"? What the hell dude, that's my job! :D
Awesome report, brought back some good memories. We gotta climb something in the nearish future
Great report. I happened to be in Arches on Oct 16th on a family vacation. My wife spotted people on Off-Balance Rock, and I took pictures. On the off chance that it might be you, I checked and I'm 99% sure it is. Check them out.

These were taken at 1:30pm. Shoot me a PM if you want copies of the originals.
That's us! Jamie is standing up at the belay station, I'm sitting next to him, Jim is climbing the first pitch and Aaron is in the chimney and out of view.
We just went down to Moab for a short family vacation. I did hike to Delicate Arch Sunday morning with my son - we had the arch all to ourselves for about 30 minutes. Is the person at the bottom, left of the big rocks also part of your group?
nah radek, your beta is good. thanks! i left my copy in the car and skewed the beta internally....oh well. we're returning to the desert over thanksgiving. what about you?
what's up rob! how it's going? i'll probably be in telluride early january. if you're interested, we should finish up our incomplete endeavor on vermillion.
Congrats guys, sorry I had to bail on you, I just spent too much time staring at the route and "psyched" myself out. Probably a good thing though, with a 5th on the rope it might not have been enough daylight to get the team up.

Re: Strong work...well prakash....he realized you weren't on the rock and decided to conduct a 1-man rescue effort to make sure you were okay. :-)
