I have a good friend who is from Michigan, his dream was El Cap. He learned Big Wall stuff from Tree and Building climbing...... Most folks thought he was nuts.

Got his ass out here and UP El Cap..... NO SMALL FEAT AT ALL.

Now he lives out here, climbs all the time.

So all I can say is this: Go For It.

see where it leads, death should be the least of your fears.

Good inspiration!

Kudos to stormflap for taking the time to PM this critic and talk directly about his experience and dreams.

That alone speaks volumes - it takes a courageous soul and level head to write someone who could likely bite his head off. And speaks about someone who is more interested in the mountains than his own ego.

I apologize for causing you any unnecessary trepidation, Dan. As hotoven says I'm simply concerned for your safety.

Take copious notes, share your learning ('cause we can all learn something new) and happy trails.
