Must climb for anyone who dreams of El Cap but still working towards bigwalling

getting the goods in a sea of granite

Absolutely love this line. So much fun.

Rob Lester stoked to simply be climbing on The Captain, even just at the base!

The ever popular "butt shot". Super slick rock but still such an amazing experience!

First Wedding Dress Ascent of Pine Line? PC: Foster Collins

First time climbing in Yosemite!!!

Nearing the top of Pine Line

Finally clipped after a ground fall potential runout

Basically free soloing as I didn't have a cam with me to fit the middle section of the route and would have taken a ground fall had I come off

Long seam up. Reaching in the crack for leverage... if they fit. (6yr Nate)
