First El Cap route
First time up El Cap. Fixed 7 pitches on day one, camped at camp 4, and blasted from the bottom to the top in about 17 hours on day 2. Topped out around midnight in a snow/wind storm, I guess that's what you get in winter sometimes haha. Fun times.

Lurking Fear
I spent 3 days on Lurking Fear around Halloween of 2005. Cool route, but the hauling up to Thanksgiving Ledge is as bad as everyone says it is.
The route page pretty much tells the story, the bottom is great, the middle fair, and the top poor. I did have the pleasure of leading and hauling every pitch...
