or just some help fixing pitches. looking for somebody from the bay to share driving to valley and back while fixing through may, and then blasting mid june. we are 3 strong climbers with about 190 ascents of el cap between us. while it would be nice to have somebody with A3 nailing experience, we are willing to take a psyched noob. or, if anybody wants to just help a day or two, they could get a taste for extreme aid without being in mortal danger while fixing the lower pitches.
Sincerely, Steve Schneider
PS By the way, THE REAL NOSE is a difficult aid route just right of the regular Nose route.

Steve, I'm a qualified n00b! I've only done 10 El Cap routes. Unfortunately I will be driving my daughter to Oregon around 15 June. If you hear someone yelling at you around the 20th.....it might be me. Hey I hear you had a good chat with Robbie the other day. I just talked to him yesterday. Anyway, go get 'em you big studs!
Peace, Bruce B.

the problem with trying to get partners from the bay area is that everybody has full time jobs here, it being so expensive just to live here. still no hits for the whole route, but some people might be able to help me fix pitches in may.
survival, you are not a noob, you are a old, smart, fart like myself.
paul, robbie sounds good, i had not talked to him in 19 years. he has worked the last ten years as a journeyman electrician on the island of lanai. he is 65 now, just recovering from shoulder surgery.

things don't line up for this for me,
and besides, it would be my first wall, and while psyched, my participation would add an unnecessary element of risk for the experienced team.
but the idea of it certainly has me wishing to be able to commit, right now only a wish...

That lycra should good for at least a pitch or two. Would be cool for you just to tag along for a day and check it out. But it doesn't sound like that's what they're looking for.
