After a few days in the constant expanding flakes of the Atlantic Ocean Wall, Max and I climbed onto the solid, bedrock of El Cap, on the New Jersey Turnpike.
The fun wasn't over and it was the best El Cap experience both Max and I had ever had!
Can you say BEDROCK? Yeah Baby!

Right above my head, you can see where a faint ramp would lead up and right. That's where the route eventually goes.

Mark,
I'm amazed that you have the drive to keep getting up on these walls.
I was pretty sore after my RNWF of Halfdome episode with my son; however I do have a sh--it load of arthritis.
What I find more impressive is your time on the Scenic Cruise with J.D.--great job on that!
I'm sure you and Jim will be at it into your 80's, with a bit of luck!
A few old mates you probably know; including Brian Delaney, are doing Desert Towers this week. Brian did the Salathe Wall last year.

There is a big difference between Wall and Magazine or Intenet Porn.
The walls in Yosemite are actually there to climb on, whereas the "sexual objects," or models, are off limits.
Well, the walls, not recently; but, at least for the immediate future, thank heaven.
And thank heaven for Grade V, too!

by MFM
snow is ablaze with moon-rays
BIG STONE sits there silent and luna sighs
her breath reveals worry lines in her lover
she slowly passes over his crown
she lights up his heart and his face with its frown
she departs and he cries
he misses her sighs
the size of her eyes on night like this
he dreams now full of bliss
sun will come up
then he will cry for her
luna always comes back
ask old lady TIS-A-ACK.

@Mark - I had a Gopro. Sometimes I put it on the pole on my gear sling (like the 2nd pic), sometimes I would clip it to the anchor or haul bags using one of these (with a backup cord): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002B8UL3U/
Either way, you can set the gopro to take a picture on a continuously repeating timer. I set my to take every 30 seconds, which seemed to work pretty well.
It will go till the battery runs out or the memory card fills up. Usually battery goes first. I had a hard time keeping the gopro battery charged too, since my little solar panel wasn't working very well...

MattF,
How did you do on the Muir? We were the two guys on Triple D who bailed from the Crystal Chimney Pitch. It actually worked out for the best, when I got to the ground I received a call telling me about a death in the immediate family. I was glad I wasn't up on the wall when I received it. I'll be back next season, maybe sooner.

"Frosty's Claustrophobic Bivy" way up on Excaliber. We absolutely couldn't hang the portaledge, the corner was shaped wrong. So we slept on the "ledge," which is so close to the matching "roof" that one can't turn over - a person's hips are wider than the space between the two!

Dan McD should recognize this pitch on the old Dawn Wall start. The topo calls for a 7 inch piece about 30 feet above me here, but all we had were 4 inch bongs. I had to tunnel inside it, and it was full of Bat Guano. I saw a piece of webbing, pulled it out of the bat turds, and there were two carabiners and a 2 inch bong. One of the carabiners had "RR" stamped all over it. It was there from when Robbins and Lauria did the 2nd (and chopped the start) of the WEML.

Age 17 or 18 in Huasteca Canyon, Mexico, learning how to drill I think. I didn't drill on the route we tried, but I did rip everything to the belay on the 2nd pitch. Upside down and backwards, flying down the wall, pop, pop, pop. Kinda freaked me out.
I got whacked in the arm by falling ice. It blew up all purple and then turned nice shades of yellow and green. Notice the Kryptonics t-shirt. This was when skate boarding was the like wingsuiting is today...

Yes climbing on that white and green rock through the circle is very cool on the Straw.
Sweet free climbing pic Max.
I was soloing Mescalito one of the first years Tommy was trying his Dawn wall project. I was doing some free climbing somewhere after the Molar traverse. I had my huge rack on I was tripping over my aiders and haul line as typical for me and I look over and there is Tommy like 100' away, solo on his grigri, no shirt on with a couple draws hanging from his harness working out some probably 5.12 or 5.13 moves. I yelled over and introduced myself. " HEY TOMMY!!!My name is Tommy to and I am free climbing on El Cap.
We chuckled together and I continued to climb feeling like a nob.
