It took me 25.5 hours, not as impressive as G Murphy's 23 hour time.

I can't thank you enough for posting the photos and narrative of this fantastic region within Kings Canyon. I searched for years for the name of the peak up which a friend and I put a new route. It turns out it was the SE summit of Langille Peak, which I was able to determine after surfing the web and finding your link. I have posted photos of our route up the East Face, which we climbed in July 1982. It ascends slabs and cracks, a mix of everything from Class 2 slabs to 5.8 jams.

Also included is a shot of The Citadel from LeConte Canyon. Transferred from the original Ektachrome slide onto a DVD.

We were just up at the Citadel last weekend-- the river is very crossable already in Mid-June. Climbed Edge of Time Arete; Trip report is here: http://pullharder.org/2012/06/14/almost-out-of-time-on-the-citadels-edge-of-time-arete/
