Our intrepid heroes struggled valiantly on, slaying real and not so real demons and monsters in profusion. The rock ran red with the blood of the beasts, or was it the rays of the setting sun? No matter, the incoming Rain of Doom would wash the wall clean. Hopefully though it would not wash the bears away with it - they had kilometres to go before they slept. Or at least some hooks and bashies and stuff. Hopefully the time would not come when they cried to the princess in her tower on Dance "Tamipunzel, Tamipunzel, let down your fair hair!". She might cry out "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", fearing that the big bad wolf had escaped from Idaho and was hiding in one of their haulbags. "My, what big footfangs you have" she'd say, before being devoured.

To be continued, perhaps much later ... bedtime stories needn't just be at night.

Luke is nearing the bolt ladder, once we're past the lip of the roof we should start making some real progress.. Phones are dying and the sun isn't on us yet..

Stay tuned..

Or come on by and give us a holler!

The suspense was almost too much to take. How were the three bears, the eleven little pigs, and princess Tami doing? Were they getting past all the monsters and obstacles? Stay tuned!

1/2 hr of daylight left boys!! U guys sleeping in warm beds or having portaledge man salad spoon fed & served cold for dinner again??!

Edit- perhaps the solar phone charger didn't get much of a chance to do its job today & the bears have lost all lines of communication??

Just went to check on the boys... Headlamps were on but one of them was heading down, so it looks like it might be a bail...

So we decided to push the push to a siege. Turns out it gets dark pretty early this time of year, which makes climbing multiple pitches a day hard. TKC took longer than anticipated for the roof pitch, and got scared of bathooking in the dark. I got frustrated with the slow progress, as I was comparing aiding to free climbing, and Brownie just didn't care.

So we came down. However the high point is fixed, and luckily there aren't usually lineups for this route.

I thought for those that have done grade V climbs on el cap that using petty siege tactics on a mere grade IV was not acceptable at least that's what this video tells me, I'm sure you've all seen it but seems like there could be a lesson in there:-)

Lightweights.

Wayno and I are about to head north. It's 8 pm now, so I figure we'll be parking the car below the Chief about midnight. Probably take us a couple of hours to hike to base and jug your lines, so what's that? About 02:00? Somtehing like. And given that you guys probably won't get up until 08:00, and then you'll spend another two hours over breakfast, and at least an hour after that just getting yourselves to the base, we'll have plenty of time.

In fact, I reckon we'll probably be up and over the top by the time you guys get anywhere near your fixed ropes, so everything will probably look just like you left it, and you won't even be able to tell that we aced you.

F*#kin' kids...

I predicted the bail from the parking lot at about 13:00.
Did I scare you guys when I hollered up, YER GONNA DIE?

Good effort!

Perry, you scared the buhjeeezzuss out of us. What a bold line, I got two bolts out the mark of zorros pitch and ran out of juice, the previous pitch was mentally taxing and long. Rope is fixed.. Will continue with updates of our siege effort some time in the new year.

Luke; over and out
