Michelle,
I used my hooks of Ian's last week on a dry fun for my first climb of El Capitan.
Here I am in the action! Right where Ian loved being. I never met him but am glad for the way this whole gear thing has touched many lives.

Mark if we can fit our schedules together I'd like to go with you to take Ian's ashes up the Captain. I did several walls with Ian back in the 70's-80's including Lurking Fear, he also humped loads for me a few times so i'd like to repay him.

I do have these two final items to sell.
A pair of Large Metolius gloves. Wrap a tape around you hand and if it's 8.5 inches, these gloves will fit fine. They are brand new. $35.
The Helmet is a brand New Petzl Meteor III, $99.
Neither price includes shipping.

Yes, I'd like to hear them.
Ed, I PM'ed you. Yes, we should do something.
To tell you the truth, I never met Ian face to face, but I get all emotional when I think of having his ashes on El Cap. We used to laugh and laugh and talk sh#t so I can't be totally reverent, but still, I'll do a vid for all to see but I'll probably cry a bit myself.

Do tell, Ed!
Folks might not know that Ed was a bona fide big wall maven back in the day.
The combined number of El Cap routes climbed by Mark and Ed must be an impressive number.
