no

shorter than the toe and a better climber than anyone on this site.

december 25 1997 6am. just topped out after climbing through the night because we were sick of being on the wall. what route is one of the best to do in the winter on el cap? it is consistently steep from top to bottom. name the route. name the sleeping climber.

make sure you have peanut brittle and beer with you.

your boiling hot

a), b), c) and or d). why wouldn't you think what? Maybe my reasoning is wrong, like I say, I'm not a wall guy. but here's what passes for thought.. a)Mescalito - While it would seem to be the pick hit in that region of the big stone, it must have had more than 7 ascents by 1998, since at that time it was already 25 years old. Still, your position most suggests that route. b)Wall of the Early Morning Light - Bottom part is supposed to be sort of "ehhh" and the position doesn't seem quite right. Historic, but not sexy. c)Space - not really sure where it goes, but it doesn't get much press. On the otherhand, I'd believe it hadn't had a seventh ascent until 98. d)Reticent Wall - kind of a hardman route, I'd think you'd have shown more wall spray here if that was your cup of tea. Hockey Night? It's a Mescalito variant, isn't it? Odd enough to not get a 7th until 98? Yah, well, what do I know. You can wait until someone names it with confidence, then tell me where my guesses go wrong. Nice pic though, I've always loved those angles. when is there ever any big wall spraying going on? i must have missed those threads.

the route begings around here

That all makes sense, but it's the same with free climbing. Adding a bolt to an established trad route would be hot no matter which ascent you made. And I bet some knucklehead keeps track of everest ascents. of course someone keeps track of everest accents?

your getting warmer. they say it was the seventh assent when i did it in 98'. I didn't know they kept track up to "seventh." i guess they get pretty bored in the valley, anyway this isn't the fucking nose or the zodiac.do you think they keep track of everest assents?

to the right

your getting warmer. they say it was the seventh assent when i did it in 98'.

i'd rather donate money.

further left facing the stone. not enought diorite for NA.

hey, i'm trying to contribute something here. i put it in spray because this is what climbers do when there not climbing, they talk about it. you probably won't know the answer being alot of the pro is body weight only and that might not apply to your mountain hoofing fat ass.

not you kevbone!!!!!!!!

I and a few others (like Bill Coe) aren't far behind him. Losing Jim Anglin particularly touched a nerve in that regard (other than him being just a stellar human) as we were the same age - 55. He had half jokingly proposed we do the NIAD and try for the combined age record at 110 as he felt we both moved pretty fast. I had to let him down gently by informing him I generally suck at obligatory Valley jamming. I had so looked forward to the possibility of getting on a wall with him and now that time has past. Pink, dude, you're my new great wall hope now... that can be arranged...ilike climbing with old farts.
