Don't know about the upper reaches, but I watched tommy hand-drilling the first pitch a few years ago.

Not oft you hear 'tap,tap,tap...' on El cap.

Tommy talked about the bolts. The only drilling he did on a previous route was putting a bolt in a rivet hole, and since 1/4" button heads are now rivets, who cares about that.

On other pitches they were taking long falls onto beaks, etc.

Tommy did it right.

EDIT: That was before the accident happened. What a bummer! Heal up Tommy!
