Where's the pro?

Pratt always had that proud and noble not quite pirate sailor look going on. LOL!

Great trip report and photos.
Inch for inch is there any climbing more fun than a wide crack?

Damn Phil, I don't know? I will say that OW inch for inch burns more calories.

Outstanding TR. Pratt remains my greatest climbing hero. His story "The View From Deadhorse Point" (In the 1970 Ascent) is my favorite description of desert climbing. I find this TR right up there, though. Thanks much.

Here's another vote for Doug to chime in with a story. That photo inspired awe when I opened the the 1970 Ascent -- I couldn't imagine leading something like that, unprotected and unknown.
Adding to the mystique, there was no additional text describing the route. Neither Pratt's beautiful "Deadhorse Point" article, nor Roper's guidebook to the towers in that issue even mentioned it.

Nasty! Thanks for putting it up here.
I'm looking at that roof on Big Guy and thinking how in sam hell would I approach a problem like that?
Throwing in the picture of Pratt made the whole thing come together. Thanks again.
