HAHAHA, that last pic is classic! I think I dumped out my bag and went looking for any OE800 I had left. Yo, did we do anything like that??? That last pitch of Zodiac was cool. Cams under a big block then like crawl up onto ledge. Oh ya... and haul light bags and drag over the lip...

And.....what would Yosemite Valley be without all the welcome advice from bigwall theorists, naturalists, and grandpas as the team does the ceremonial gear sorting in the Meadows. Hey....where's Werner ???

GOLSEN: "pdhman.... I backed of that artists tears thing about 20 years ago. I vaguely remember some bat hooks on the first pitch is that right?
20 yrs ago it had some decent placements! Today, nine of the first twelve placements on P1, in the soft Entrada, are Beaks hand placed into the old sugary bathook holes. The only solid piece of pro on P1, till the anchor, is the original drilled #1 angle. All the rest is total mank hand placed, body weight only sawed off #2's and 3's that are totally worthless. P2 is a bunch of blown out #2-4 angle holes that will take body weight only #2 & #3 Tech Friends, leapfrogged with an occasional Beak. It gets worse as you ascend onto P-3. Got to love it!

my all time favorito's are the pitch's with the least rope drag.
I hate having to free climb out of the aiders.

Haven't done any sick crazy aid climbing. I thought The nipple pitch on Zodiac was cool after it was cleaned of all fixed gear.

The first Triple Crack pitch on the Shield, before it got beat out (circa 1976) was a thing of beauty.
