Looking down while climbing the hand/fist crack. You can actually protect it with small cams and pitons on the right, and save the #3s for the widening crack for up higher.

Looking up towards El Capitan. Rober is about 12 feet from the start of the climb. <br> <br> The crack running on the right is Ahab.
Having fun on Moby Dick
Nothing but wide crack ahead! Bring extra 4 inch cams if you don't want to run it out!
View from the top. Look closely and you'll notice that I ran out all of the wide terrain above the second lieback. Not recommended unless you're very comfortable at the size and grade.
