Another beautiful splitter half way up Lurking Fear

The airy pitch 7 traverse. Ryan M staying cool.

The natural bivy accessible from p11

The (wet) first pitch (normally) free variation.

Pitch 7 hooking. Fun and exposed.

Bivying on top of pitch 9, party pig in tow.

"Lost World" bivy ledge, off route, reached via a hard swing from the middle of pitch 10, or rapping down and right from the top of 11 (better option) Comfortable for one... very tight for two

Below the airy pitch 12 roof

Looking down at the Pillar of Despair at the top of pitch 9 - would be a very poor bivy without a ledge.

Start of pitch 4

On the upper/final slabs. The storm came in fast and it was a total white out, visibility pretty low. Waterfalls of water were soon to cover all of the lower angle slabs to the summit. A memorable first El Cap top out!

Looking down the 80' offwidth on P8.

Pitch 7 Traverse

Splitter high on Lurking Fear

Pitch 19 - continue past bolted anchors to ledge up and right (gear anchor) Endless low 5th class/4th class slabs above to reach the rim. One of the worst pitches of hauling on the route.

Ready to hike to Lurking Fear. RJ and I lost the "roshambo" and got to carry everything while the other two got to start climbing.

First pitch off of Thanksgiving Ledge as the snow started coming in, mid May 2017

Looking back at pitch 6 after pitch 7 traverse

Pitch 12 of Lurking Fear. One of my favorite pitches on the route.

Pitch 18 on Lurking Fear.

Pitch 7 of Lurking Fear. A fun, airy and exposed pitch.

Thanksgiving ledge journal... tell us your secrets!!

Pitch 15 on Lurking Fear.

Hanging out at Lost World Bivouac

Can't remember the pitch, but lower on LF

Snowy summit slog

Top out slabs.

Pitch 2 (I think) of Lurking Fear.
