Holy Smokes, Bill. Glad you got hauled outa there in 1 piece.
Yeah, that's an "adventure approach", eh?
Jordan is my hero of the occasion. Good bro's are worth their weight in beer. or gold, if they're small.

Hahahaha! It's good to have the SkullMan back - laughter is the best medicine for me, although Dr. Bill may disagree...

Jordan's beer consumption would be costlier than his weight in gold...
So yeah, he is worth his weight in gold.

eKat, right again. I was hoping to help them purchase anything they really needed, thus using money to show my appreciation.
Mucci, you got me laughing with that one!
Piton Ron, I can still shoot a gun with or without crutches. You name the place and time and I'll show up. I just got a chance last week to take out one of my new AR's and get it sighted in. With the 9x scope I was hitting every silhouette out to 400m. They didn't have anything further otherwise I would have been going for that as well. A case of 5.56 ammo in Montana is half of what it is here in California.

Old E is always a good bet. So are Cobras.
Ihateplastic, we were talking about your shirts. It would be nice to earn one. We didn't come across any ticks out there but we're not complaining. The poison oak, rattlesnakes, mosquitos, and bears were enough.

A "case" of ammo purchased in Kalifornia?
Thought you had rationing.
Naturally we are talking about one of those silly "Kalifornia" ARs with the ten rounder permanently screwed into the magwell that you have to disassemble just to load. (snicker!)
You don't want Feinstein and Boxer on yer azz.
BTW, check out the 1987 AAJ article starting on page 76.
I had a similar experience with a boulder after the FA of the Monitor.
Article has a photo of me jumaring on the FA of the Merrimac 3 days later with a crutch clipped to my harness (I led 10m on aid too).
They passed on the crutch summit photo, but shooting?
Fuggin piece of cake.
Gimme a call cowboy. LOL

Bill: Sorry that "shit happened."
However your "good-humored" trip report was great.
A big adventure and an ride out.
Sometimes you do everything right, you are perfectly prepared, the party is experienced------and "shit still happens."
"Nerve Tonic" helps with the recovery.
Best Wishes.

Nice epic report (ER?)! Rock climbing would be a lot safer without all the rocks.

Epic!! Good thing they had helicopter short-haul capability, otherwise MAJOR epic.
Thanks for sharing. It's hard to fit all that adventure into one tiny line on the spreadsheet! :-)

That rock never had a chance. <insert snare drum rim shot>
The foot in the cooler quote was classic touron captured at its best. I had an ache in my side for a few minutes after laughing out of control. Damn near pissed my drawers!
Talked to Rene yesterday. He thought you two were makin' your way skyward on Saturday. He and another partner were on the South Face of Moro Rock (scene of the REAL rescue :P.....anyone got the directions to Lodgepole's snack bar???). He was eyeballin' the Spire most of the day....too bad he didn't spot two doods wandering from ridge to ridge. (nudge, nudge, tease, tease).
Glad you guys are alright. Heal quick Bill!
Damn this thing is getting a rep!

Wow! Really good to hear you made it out and all is okay as it is! You were REAl lucky that timing was as it was. All this last week the rangers were doing short haul training. This very dangerous procedure has to be practiced so that everybody is in sycn. I know they do it in Yosemite all the time and we kind of assume that this is just the way its done, but here in Seki it not the norm. Our pilot is really experienced in the Parks many different situations of flight and he is the key in this whole pull out. Several people in the Park knew we were climbing the South Face of Moro and might have thought that this was related, we were looking over there as our day went along and were wondering how it was going and even thought we saw you at one point, but I don't think it was you guys. It was a really hot day! Good Luck to Mooches party, I wouldn't want that pressure, but I guess its self induced!
