Still working on trip report but I edited some GoPro video from my solo on Zodiac this last fall.

That was the coolest thing I've seen on ST in awhile. Great effort and congratulations on becoming half the man that you once were.

Thx guys. My wife asks me why I watch that video over and over again. It's cause every time I watch it I am right back there.
I wish it had taken me a month. It was truly one of the best times of my life. I had the route all to myself. Sure was awesome having all that time to really drink in the wall and just be there. Sitting out the snow storm was wild.
Did a slide show for some folks last night and they seemed to like it.
I really did get some great shots. But as I am not a pro photographer the pics were really just a back drop to tell the story.
Now I want to do it again. Thinking about doing The Shield. Not solo this time and a whole lot faster.
We will see.

Plaidman that was great. Thanks for sharing. What an awesome experience for you. Sounds like your hooked.
Hey you should ask Ken about doing it at Facelift. Your going to be there anyway. I know you will.

Nice footage, loved the narration, esp. the last line. You actually brought a work out device on the wall?!?!?! Wow! As if climbing the wall solo was't enough? Cool accomplishment indeed. Congratulations.

Pretty cool Mr. Plaid sir. Getting on the Large Stone when you're old enough to know better can be a life altering experience.

really cool!!!
Thanks for the tag along view of your achievement.
It's a really weird thing, but when I watch a climbing video (nearly any kind) it's kind of like I'm there too…
And I appreciate that most.

Hey Scott,
Congratulations on the biggest solo of all - the first one!
I was so stoked to see you had done Zodiac. I think it has to be the best first solo. Steep, beautiful and possible to escape easily until you are on the 8th or 9th pitch. As Matt says, welcome to the El Cap Solo Club.
Can't wait till we meet in the valley next time. Wishing you all the best.
Cheers,
Doug
