they could, yes
crashpads are nice as well, for warming up and protecting the finish

They could, in much of it, but it's not the kind of place you want to be thinking like a golfer. Grab and place, rack in sequence, is the way to go.

Yup, LCC. on the southside, not that far up the canyon. Our friend Fred, a local, will know about the conditions, or who to contact about them. Watch your email for his contact info.
A best case scenario, would be that you get him to go there and send it with you. He'll remember the approach once he gets there.

In the photos I posted, Mike was belaying me. His stepdaughter Katie (age 13, at the time, a grown up, now, currently off .saving the world in Guatemala) took the photos.

on the ground? It would be hard to get one in, there, at the start.

I would not have gotten through the crux that first day, if Mike hadn't talked me though it with the sort of enthusiam and encouragement that was not going to stand a lot of excuses on my part.
"If you're a vedauwoo climber you just know you can armbar-mantle on shˆt like that, don't fool around." or words to that affect.

That's what I heard, too. When I did it, (after Brad, I think,) I made a point of pulling the lip. Though I didn't, on various practice attempts (it's a 5.9 move, at most).
I had a whole nomenclature for different variations, based on the original name;
Pull the lip and you have climbed 'over the top'.
Do it backward, and I had some other name that I can't recall at this time.
Start from one end andWgo to the other and then return to your starting point- "A year in the Trenches."
I never did it East to west, but I will suggest that that is the easier direction.
