Hello McTopo Squamish peeps,
I will be driving down to the Valley from Squamish this September 13. If you or anyone you know is also making their way from Squamish to Yosemite this September and is looking to carpool, send me an email. I have room for up to three people including myself and have abundant space for wall laden sows.
Cheers,
Jon

Very nice Jim! An excellent representation of what Calculus looked like before Kris Wild went to work on it. I remember it well, My first time on that side of the apron, my first gear belay, below the finger crack on a decomposing chunk of moss...
I was scared out of my mind as the dirt crumbled from under the lush green patch.

"What Calculus looked like before Kris"?
Both of those pics are after Kris. It was a green line before.

I'd like to see a high-res gps track of that 290 pitch day spooled out in about 2 minutes. Maybe I should look at the link, too. Thanks.
Really nice to see all the Grand Wall photos, too.

290 pitches, solo, in a day.
Free solo of UWall.
Does not compute, does not compute, does not........
2 years ago I watched AH solo up a 4 pitch 10d in Potrero, but I could not watch him downclimb it. This was the day after he had completed a 20 pitch 13+ new route, and the day he was flying home. His idea of a rest day? Does not compute, does not compute..........
Kids these days!

I figured as I've been nerding out on this thread for years without chiming in I'd share a few photos of our adventure this past weekend. Thank you all for your stories and comedy.
