Hey is that a BD Big Gun harness you're wearing in the pics? If so, how'd you like it? Not many reviews of em out there and I need a new wall harness.

YU-Min... I've been thinking about organizing a big wall jam for years... We haul a compressor up to Lay Lady ledge or Gorrilla battery powered amps and a battery powered 8 track up some wall, record the musical event and sell "Bootleg" CD's to raise $ for Skinners museum project. "Brilliant".......

Caught the teaser the other day, just now saw/heard/experienced the whole multi-media affair. Loved it.

Looks like you two have an incredible partnership - that's fun to see come through in the vids.

My favorite moment, the "King Swing - Reality Check". I've felt that! From wild psych and fire to all-consuming despair and fear.

Doooood! a jam on the wall sounds like its gonna have to be put into the making...

OlymicMntBoy, yea its a big gun, i like it a lot! The double belay loops are actually pretty nice when hitching easy daisies on both sides, fifi slips perfectly up the middle. the padding is GREAT and its really not that heavy at all.

Bruce, your totally right about that crashing sensation

Most people who climb The Nose echo Harding's humility: the rock seems to be in much better shape than I was. Good humility in the face of the greatness of the route, good style getting back on the horse. Hard to do. I been there.

Congrats.

hey there yu-min... say, i went and read the whole trip, and could not yet do the videos.. will try tomorrow when i have more time... but say:

the whole set-up of how you presented the trip did wonders for me... i could picture it better than from other reads and you named each "name" of the spots you stopped at how every thing you spread out, you did in a good solid order for me and my ol' brain... thanks a lot (i am not a climber, but i still love reading and trying to figure out the trails they all do)...

god bless..

hey there yu-min... my brother and i had the very same feeling looking up at el cap, when we were kids...

i wonder what must have gone through his mind on his first climb there...

i thought i had heard that he climbed el cap... if he did... he must have felt the same way as you, when he took his first move..


*say, does anyone here, know if mark (chappy) climbed el cap???
and when, and with who...

i just don't have money, so i cant call himmm when i like... :(
