I'm not gonna say that this endeavor sounds like fun,
Walls are wrk/fun/work more/ more work/ giggles & more work,
stiff and sore when you're done,
for the (potential, opportunistic)
chance to get an immersion into the way's of the Pro vertical fright* hauler ,
this is the best team I could dream of, The extras make the wall the most fun,
A great Vertical camping crew to suffer with too.
though it shouldn't be a competition
no one going longer on the walls lately, eh' - ?
The More time you're up on a climb - is more time yer up!

Flip Flop seemed to get it - a perfectly logical and far less detailed assembly of things PPP has posted about himself many times over. But if Anita is offended, I'll delete.

Campfire on LLL is definitely in the works. Let's hope there are a few pine cones and branches lying around. A pre-existing fireplace in a wilderness area is legit.
New Dawn/Genesis/WOEML/etc has THE BEST TOPOUT on all of El Cap! A foot-wide hauling stance and then you walk right off. Damn, what a difference from P.O. or Pacemaker or some of those other nightmare topouts. Dihedral! The horror!
I need to check my hardware inventory, but Greg Barnes has kept me well supplied. I am wondering if it will be possible to get to P1 by swinging in from Space? I have replaced many many anchors on El Cap - one problem is that Anita and Brook aka Flip Flop have a bit of a time constraint.
Edit: JLP - I just saw what you wrote, and deleted. You really need to offer Anita a public apology.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
P.S. I'm disappointed in you guys. At least Karl Baba gave it to us on Facebook. Where's your one-two-three punch anyway?

Holy frig, that was fast. [that's what she said]
See? The sign of a true dirtbag. No money? No problem.
Note: Big wall climbing is a continual problem-solving process. Being able to solve problems - or better yet, avoid them altogether - is what you need to reach the summit. That, along with perseverance, a never-quit shut-up-and-climb mentality, a "this is going to hurt" expectation, and bringing along enough food, water, beer and time to virtually assure success.
I have solved every single big wall climbing problem that has ever existed. This is because I have caused every single big wall climbing problem that has ever existed.

What about the problem of you bringing way too much stuff and never getting out of 'bed' before 10am?

"What about the problem of you bringing way too much stuff and never getting out of 'bed' before 10am?"
That's why we're climbing the Dawn Wall and bringing Brook - when first light hits him, he can spring out of bed and lead the next pitch while you belay him and I make coffee. By the time I eventually wake up, it'll be my turn to get on the sharp end.
Too much stuff? O'Really? You never complain when I serve you a Gatorita with salted rim out of a Big Wall Wine Glass. You *could* drink it out of a coffee cup, you know. ;)

3 climbers but you want the third to lead 1/2 the pitches. Which one of you isn't going to carry their own weight?

Lol, being a dedicated cleaner in a three person party is def not "not carrying your weight"
Too many people think cleaning bigwalls is a given due to free climbing mentality. Cleaning is a talent onto itself.

Bump for the OP
Anybody available to pick up Pete and Anita at the airport and take them to El Cap and help on a mega ultra big wall climb? My pony is sick.
