Good job men!!

However, "skipping" the final pitch and rapping the route was what we widely considered BAILING in the old days, not the same as climbing to the summit and doing the hike off descent. Most of us have done the traditional finish on that one.

Glad you could somehow see it as an alternate finish.

Big job, no matter how you slice it.

I like everything about the style of your ascent except for the small bit about not finishing the route.

Even though that's an "easy" wall (is there really such a thing?) it's a great route. I love the long, thin aid cracks.
