Great stuff. Thanks.
If its kosher I might post up some from when Bill Price and I did it in 1978. The pics are super, I'd forgotten about the Roundtable!

I had never climbed with Bill. We had met of course, but Vern had to leave the Valley (super rainy spring) so there I was standing out side the MRB and I just put it out there to all hangers, "Anybody want to climb Excaliber?" He instantly said yes - and I think we went up the next day to check the loads that were below the rurp pitch. They had weather (a month?) We needed to see if the gorp was moldy etc.
We had a fantastic time up there. Really my most adventurous rt as it was the second rt up the Captain for both of us. Perfect weather. Bill was a great partner, steady, fun and always relaxed.
I have a bunch more photos and have been wanting to scan them. I'll work on it.

mmmmmm, yummy, that hammock bivvy looks soooo comfy!!!
Great pictures!
Glad I didn't have to deal with all the bongs and blocks too.
I "jugged" that pitch with three big cams......
My P.O. partner, Bob Williams, loved Bill Price.
I never got to climb with Bill.
What's he up to??

Bump...
Looking for beta as to how many 9" cams are appropriate for fat out of shape cube dwellers who can't free much to save our lives? I've seen a couple references saying only a single 9" is needed, but that doesn't sound right.
Between the partner and myself we've got three 6" cams, two 7" cams, and a single VG9. Do I really not need a second VG9?
Our other thought was to do NA Wall. But doing something moderately obscure might be more "fun".
