| Me leaving Eagle Ledge. I think this was the first pitch I was able to actually get some climbing in (more than aiding). |

| The #4, not so tipped out. Yet. |

 |
| The top o' the boot. Jib hauls, I jug. I wish I had the time to follow this proper... Look at that flake! |
|

|
 |
| When you don't leave draws, you get that awesome run-out look. Gotta love the exposure! |

 |
| These hips don't lie.. It's a tight space. |

| The Bivy. Portaledge: a bummer to haul, but a blessing to sleep in. |
|
|
|
 |
| The toughest haul I can recall. A 1:1 space-haul. I jump down the wall, which counter-weights the bag upwards. My 25 foot leash was just long enough to get me to the vertical face, but no further--frustrating. |

 |
| The ledge, you can see the off-width just on the edge of the shadow. Our bivy is at the top of the El Cap Tower, which is the column in the sun. Just 2-3 pitches to go. |

 |
| Lunch Ledge, been climbing for approximately 9 hours and no food. What a bunch of dummies.... No wonder I'm crashing. Pay no attention to the security of the haul-bag, it has more security than it appears. |

| Calling the girls from Sickle Ledge. Thanks to Anicca Bags for the bomber stuff sacks. |
