THE BIG WALL PORN POST!

I have it on good authority that Pitons Pete graduated top of his engineering class. So it's no surprise to me he's orchestrating a voyage up El Cap rivaling the complexity of the Allied invasion of Normandy .

I also met Luke at the facelift. He gave me some pointers on how to climb #6 cam size cracks. What's he doin up there, heel-toeing up A3 ????

Really dig all yer adventures !! So psyched for y'all.

P.S. Tom Evans is a damn national hero, chronicling such special moments for us.

Tom Evans' post had me pissing in laughter! Just too funny. 

Steve Shipoopi Schneider and Manley II and Manley III are blasted up to P7 on Aurora. With any luck, Steve's 50th different El Cap route! Old farts send. 

And I learned everything I know from good ol Ike. 

Doo-HUDE!

I graduated dead last in my engineering class - both alphabetically and arithmetically -  thus proving I did no more work than I absolutely had to. 

Hey, do you know what they call the guy who graduates last in his engineering class? 

Peter Zabrokwrote:Hey, do you know what they call the guy who graduates last in his engineering class? 

I’d call them efficient, Pete

Last graduate gets called the same as everybody else! Doctor, lawyer, engineer.

Grades and accolades don't matter too much I think. In wall climbing, as in life, it is persistence and creativity, perhaps a dash of madness even, that pays off and leads to success.

Indeed. Hows this for madness? Brand new rope from India shreds on its second haul!

Spunk Ropes - they are jizz'd the best!

"When you wanna shred, bring a rope that shreds with you - Spunk Ropes!"

"It doesn't get more pornographic than this!"

Wow… that’s some really "nice" line you have there.

I really hope Atlantis is being everything you dreamed of and you are having a blast!

The climbing is SOOOO good. Dave Turner is a master craftsman.

It’s mind boggling how many FA’s he did

X rated porn for sure, thanks to Skot Richards.  The left-handed Alfifi. 

Straight off my phone from the summit of El Cap after the second ascent of Atlantis.  Check out the glowing bushes:

Southeast face of El Cap in all her glory!

The final jug on Muir Wall

From Zodiac last week, the Nipple from belayer and my perspective. Notice the fixed line from the film/guide crew for the blind climber (who we later had to rescue because they didn’t bring any 5s for p13 :) Similar to the Baker story, they had everything to p11 fixed for nearly two weeks in total… not cool

Wait – so they managed to fix the whole route for two weeks, but they couldn’t squeeze in a #5 and/or throw a line off the top of the wide pitch?

They had fixed up to p11. Two world class mountain guides, whose name I won’t mention ;), had last climbed the route 20 years ago when the pitch off of Peanut still had bolts. Apparently they didn’t look at any recent topo’s….. and spent 13 hours on peanut waiting for help. We tagged their fixed line up 

Peanut rescue party!!! 8 people on the ledge at one point, that’s gotta be nearly a record!

I love this shit!!!!

That's what happens when you forget the hammer glove.

JT…. That nice granite crack definitely takes a beak or a pin, and probably would take a nut- hopefully that’s not an actual climb that you are filling with metal trash. 

Wrong thread. Take your kink shaming elsewhere. 

JT, now break the cable and hook it with a Tomahawk, real slow...
