Hey Guys,
Just got back home to california from Patagonia two days ago. I wanted to thank all of you for the great amount and awesome content of all of the responses posted. Always on these trips i get to have great climbing experiences, but these always come second to all of the people i meet, the good times had, new places seen, and now; all of these responses are quite positive and flattering. Thanks to all of those who posted with the congrats.
I will be in yosemite for the spring season starting in the end of March, and i am psyched to see all of you there. maybe a good session in the meadow during the day, and i could give a slideshow/presentation in the night about the paine. cheers!!

Hey Dave! My climbing partner and I were the guys who "wooped" to you from Taller del Sol (first attempt) on the North Tower when you topped out and the next day when you planted your feet on the ground. Then we hung out on the moraine the next day with the dutch guys, gerke and martin, voytech the south african and raul from santiago. The the day after the next day we succeeded on Taller del Sol. Those were the best days of our two month trip.
From the beginning, with all of those trips into the Silencio Valley we were facinated and comforted by the sight of your tiny white triangle hanging in the sea of granite on Escudo. To meet you upon your success was momentous for us. Though, when we topped out on Taller a couple days later (with the help of some of your biscuits) and you weren't perched on Escudo, it wasn't quite the same. You're presence was missed.
Congrats once more! I have the feeling we'll meet again.

Dave, you wuss! I'll bet you had rock shoes, rain gear, propane stove.....etc. And all of that rain and snow- anyone can climb when they're hydrated!

I'm bumping this mad mofo with a reference to what song I was listening to; George Thorogood must have had this bad boy in mind when he penned:
"...had a cobra snake for a necktie."
