Thanks for the bump Steve. I was psyched you'd done that because I'd not seen this before...that is until I see I posted in April of 09. What a crudy memory I have! Still, great reading. :)

It was fun to read this story again.
It brings back the fond memories of the too few times I climbed with T.M.
I bet his grandchildren have a great time with him! He is such a funny guy.
Thanks Jim for the story.

Culture, I believe you have it marked correctly in my experience. We traversed to the base of the very clean prominent dihedral rather than descending hundreds of feet only to then 3rd-4th class back up to it. The gully above was pretty fiercer vegetated, all pointing downwards and kind of steep.
If you look very very carefully on gigapan, you will see little terraces coming in from the left, leading to the dihedral, from the forested pedestals' uppermost reaches. My recollection is that we were rather surprised that the terraces miraculously worked out and actually lead us without further hassle, to the base of the roped pitches.

I want to do Basketcase this year if I can get in shape. Last year I couldn't quite get fit but I have high hopes for this year.
