You guys look like you're having a blast. What a great thing. I was impressed when Chris Mac did the El Cap Girdle Traverse, but this 67 pitch thing may be riskier as it looks pretty close to the ground. Pull a peg or 2 and you're swimming in the cold ocean.

Awesome job! Looks like you are having a great time! Thanks for sharing the pics; they were great fun and brought back doing Traverse of The Gods years ago.

According to David, one of the ideas behind doing the route was to give as many people as possible as much fun as possible.

It sounds like success under that measure - and you still ended up with an amzing route.

Thanks for the report.

Some guy named Malcolm Daly says you can call legitimately yourself an alpinist IF you've ever taken a nap along a route. I'm looking to up my game. What kind of opportunities do we have here?
