Great photo Chris!

This was one hell of an adventure. Thanks for all the kind words and support from everyone. The first thing I want to say is that the Wamp is one tuff mofo. It was a complete honor for me to be part of this project on so many different levels. First and foremost for the foundation I hope that this rises enough awareness to get enough grants and donations for the camp to live forever. I am sure everyone here at supertopo can appreciate what Steve's foundation is giving away. Working with everyone from the Wampler camp, Trans Global and Corey Rich productions was a pure treat. Logistically speaking this was a huge ordeal and as far as I am concerned everything went exceptionally well. Tommy Baynard (Trans Global) is the one who brought this crew together, Tbone Your the MAN! Dave Lane I love you like a brother man! I am not sure I would have taken on this project with out you bro Thanks!

I am resting in Reno visiting family right now but will be back in the valley Thursday and looking forward to more of what is a beautiful fall season for climbing in the Valley.

Gorgy thank you for your nice words. I look forward to sharing an adventure on the Captain with you next week, Be carefull for what you ask for :) Uva no front door yet? When I get back I will put some hinges on that plywood so it swings for you and you don't have to un screw it everytime. hehe

See you all at the face lift in a couple days.

Best Regards

Hey Steve, Victoria and I are very proud of you. I'm sure you are on top of the world. Rest up as you know we want to hear all about it when you get home. Dave, thanks for being there for Steve and Tommy. Hey Babe, I love and miss you so much. I can't wait for you to get home. I'm very proud to be your wife :-) have fun climbing with Jen. See you in a couple weeks.

Thank you thank you thank you for the inspiration. My nephew has CP and I'm hoping, if he wants, that someday I can lead him up the Big Stone too. Fantastic.

No shortage of inspiration there! Nice work everyone!!! You guys rock!

There was a short report on ABC news of the ascent... look about 46 seconds into the video.

Hey Tommy T and Chris Smack et al,

Congrats on a bitchin' ascent! Sorry we missed yous guys as we were up on the wall.

Congrats especially to Steve, who obviously faced down some huge fears and difficulties, not to mention scorching hot temperatures.

Well done, lads!

Cheers,
Pete

hey!
I just watched your documentary on your successful job climbing El Cap! I just want to say that now, seven years later, you're heart and drive still inspires me to accomplish anything! I was even inspired to start rock climbing and soon climb El Capitan! I can't wait to climb the same mountain that all the greats have climbed (including you!)!! Thank you.
