Melissa, that trial run was crucial in forming a strategy, thanks to your radical reduction in rack size on our outing I was able to convince Zander to travel much lighter than we otherwise would have.... one difference, we brought more slings on this one!

Zander:
Great trip report. I love these common-man, personal challenges and I've done a few of them in my time. You can take something pretty mundane (like any one of the FOB's) and put some spice back into the game by putting new parameters on it. Nicely done!

here are some images that I took...
Z getting his camera out at the base of Munginella
"two can play that game!" he sez...
On Commitment above the belay
While it seems that I ran it out, it must have been infectious...
Descending after book 2 going for 3!
At the top of p1 on The Surprise, about to make the traverse on p2
my camera went on the fritz here... I rewound it and reset it (batteries out then in) and got it working again for the start of The Hanging Teeth
The light was failing and the Caverens start was obscured by trees, etc... here is Zander coming up to my belay ledge. A nice big one with a tree and a place to take my shoes off... I was beat at this point.
Zander took off and ran his pitch to the top. Here he is at the end of long day

Nice pics Ed,
Nutjob, I wore that shirt for you. I found it in the bottom of the drawer. Must be 15 or 20 years old.
One thing I've noticed abut running it out, often it is scarier for the belayer. The lead climber gets to make the decisions about weather he/she is safe and in control while the belayer can only watch.
Climb on!

That's a really good idea.. Might try that on solo some day if the legs and the head will hold together!
Nice TR.

Cool, nice pix and TR, but, while I have done all those climbs, never in one day. Also, I am so jealous and envious.
Keep it up lads.

You guys got Val (cleo) and I psyched to try some of that stuff. We hit the 5 open books this last weekend. Only got two, but that was plenty for me.
Yano, that roof on Commitment is pretty spicy when you miss the huge hold.
Here's a pretty girl at the top of Munginella at the end of a great day in the Valley:

Ed H and Zander - this writeup was just as good the second time through.
What's the next linkup you're scheming toward?
Zander, seeing these pictures I realized that I met you in El Agave, Scott and I were coming back from Temple Crag and you, I think, had been at a wedding?
Anyways, great TR and I look forward to reading the next one.
