Photo: Olaf Mitchell.<br> Yellow Wall early '80s.<br> A long, leader fall right at dark resulted in this climber spending a pathetic night 100' above his partner with only half the food and bivy gear. It was amazing to witness them raising and lowering stuff from their haul bag with head lamps. Their comment was: "We had considered this as a possibility, and dismissed it as impossible!"<br>
