Superb photo trip report, and what an amazing adventure, Dave! Sorry I missed you at the Bridge this spring, but see you in the fall, eh?

Man - it really takes some kinda sick/crazy heart of passion to want to go on so long an adventure by yourself in such cold. I might be from Canada, but I'm like the penguin that hated the cold. I'm sure I'd bail from such cold conditions, so I really admire you, Dave, for sticking it out and finally managing to climb something, despite your frostbitten toes.

Thanks for Matt for posting, it must have taken you hours.

Cheers and nice warm beers out of my haulbag on sunny El Cap,

bout an hour, no big deal. one of these days Dave will figure this sh#t out for himself but until then, I'm happy to help. He's got better things to do and is probly out climbing while I'm at the office desk.

Thank you so much! Absolutely amazing.

I hope you do some slide shows to share this incredible adventure with more people.

As I sit in hot, sweaty, over crowded Japan, it is restorative to know there are people and places like that. The next time I'm in a traffic jam, I'm going to think of your photos and chill out!

Unbelievable! Surreal comes to mind. I can not even fathom spending 2+ months out there even with the Baffin Babes! Good show and way to go, you just inspired many with your determination!

SWEET!
