Reminds me of the Glowering Spot.
http://www.yosemiteclimbing.org/content/i-beam-pitons-used-nose
A steel and aluminum piton made from I-beam stock by George Whitmore for the first ascent of the Nose of El Capitan, 1957 and 1958. The steel I-beam piton was affectionately called the "Big Brute" by the first ascent team. The Big Brute was by far the heaviest piton they carted up the route. Early on they decided they "needed a hammer that was heavier than the piton" and developed a beefier hammer made from a modified center punch. Warren Harding was hit in the head by the Big Brute after weighting it and after finishing his pitch was found glowering from his sloping ledge when his partners arrived. This ledge is called the Glowering Spot to this day.

I laughed hard at that one. Very nice hashtag/picture combo. I feel the need to take one of these photos somewhere epic now!

Honnolding before it was, uh, Honnolding.
Well, sort of. (Rotate the pic 90 degrees and it'll look more like Honnolding)

Brilliant.
Also, that Nina Caprez video was way more entertaining than I was expecting. Good to see people making climbing films with a sense of humor.

That's awesome, Squishy!
It does, however, beg the question: What is the definition of the verb, "To Honnold?"

Good stuff up there - all of it! I've seen that Thank God ledge one Peter posted upthread before and its still damned impressive. Anyone who's been there would not imagine peeling it all off and Honnolding out. Jesus. Survival, what Red Rocks route is that? Prince of Darkness? (BTW, a fall there looks somewhat problematical, fella needs to step over the rope:-)

Up top, there, Mr. E, are you wearing a boulder on yer head?
The first Mexican women climbed the Nose in 1992.
They were Angeles Mendoza and Irma Hernandez, (possibly the second all female ascent.)

So I just read "Alone on the Wall" and om page 68 is the following:
own ledges (much closer to the ground), their backs to the wall, feet together, arms stiff at their sides, blank looks on their faces - as well as a number of goofy parodies, in which subjects assume the same pose standing on toilet tanks, refrigerators, stepladders and the like"
I am the refrigerator, stepladder guy - in that order from a single post.
Pretty cool!

WyoRock: That old film was amazing. Thanks for digging that up. It should be posted on the trundling thread, too. A true legacy trundle fest up there. A couple of generations later, and those two guys are Piana and Skinner. Just great.
