Geeze pounding pins on that route is totally unnecessary. Good try Nature get up there on a week day in the winter she'll be yours. Nature I didn't think I could solo it in a day but 15.5 hrs is still under 24. YO went like 5 hrs faster than I by free soloing the free pitches.

It's amazing how much faster it goes if you don't dick around on all the ledges taking naps and smoking cigarettes and TAKING SH#TS. Or maybe that's how elitist bitches like to climb. hahaahahah
Your email still work, Ryan?
BTW, I was just thinking about the pin driving incident. Purely speculation, but it's possible one of those nappy drilled pins came out of pitch 7. Just a possibility.
The other possibility is that the noise was the sound of a Ron Olevsky sniper bullet finding its mark.

re."Purely speculation, but it's possible one of those nappy drilled pins came out of pitch 7"
Actually I think I have read somewhere of a broken angle at one of the Spaceshot belays. Still...what would they be doing with a hammer and pin rack on that route in the first place?
Personally, I'm not sure how much I would trust my ears to be certain of where a hammer blow was coming from. Sounds do wierd things in rock walled canyons.
btw. Don't think Doug sounds elitist at all. In fact, he sounds very tolerant.

Yo, my email doesn't work, soooo like the center of my world has fallen out from under me. I'll be doing some deep meditation on this however though so I'll be back in the game soon. MOa rum shoo arum, working night shift life suckey muchy nowy.
I may stay here untill I sell my house. Still I think that I'll have time to meet up on my way to MOnticello so I'll call you in advance. As of now I am trying to go with my palls here before I move so as to say goodbyes. Moving to MOnticello, Moab, Cortez or Durango (ahhh Durago)sooner than later , It'll be fun being a big time crack climber fer a while.
It wasn't the smoking or the shitting that slowed me down it was all that jerking off.

Face it Nature, you are a slacker. I bet it takes 5 years before you try another solo.
I'm into it now. No going back. Even with the added work and the sometimes pain in the butt rope management it's worth it. Your partner can never bail on you and you never have to wait while some else climbs. No arguements and all that. It's a ton of fun and I had a blast climbing half the damn route.
Yeah right!

Nice job nature. Frustrating scenario. My first climb in the Valley was washed out by a similar scenario. My partner and I went up to climb NE Butt of Higher Cathedral. We got behind a slow party that didn't want to be passed, and we're hauling. Yes, that's right, hauling on the NE Butt of Higher Cathedral. What a bummer. My buddy and I were tapped into the Buddha and not getting too impatient, until the 'trainwreck' (I'll borrow that if you don't mind), somehow dropped their haulbag from the 5.9 hands pitch in the dihedral. What are you going to do? Good climbs are often popular. Spaceshot looks cool. I climbed Prodigal Son with a friend in the late 90s. It was his first wall and a good wall for that.
