Thanks for sharing the story.
I always wondered, after seeing the topo.
And especially after Werner posted that that he thought it was pretty scary.

Bad ass Cosgrove. You were always a cutting edge climber and all around good dude as I remember.
I'll never forget the day I followed you up the FFA of the first pitch variation to the NA Wall. The crux involved 5.11+ cranker lie backing around a bus sized block that seemed as hollow and loose as junkie prostitute. You hiked it first try with ease.
While belaying, I moved as far to the side as I could to stay out of the fall line of that junker. Had that thing blown, it could've easily chopped the rope....or either one of us. I was gripped just following that pitch. I wonder if the block is still there, or if that pitch gets done at all.

We raced up the final pitches, ran down the talus full speed and got rolling back to camp just as last light and another storm quickly moved in.
Which talus are you talking about Cos? I tried to descend climber's left over there once, it was a long night.
