First Wall: Lunar X

Wow this thread blew up! Sick Pictures everyone, heres a couple more.

This was from my first trip up the captain in 2009 we had originally planned on doing the Muir but traversed onto the Nose when the forecast crapped out. Here I am cleaning the great roof in the evening. We slept at the belay at the end of the roof. What an awesome place to bivy.



This is the Bismarck Ledge on Mescalito, we got there just as it was getting dark and found 1 PBR sitting on the ledge. The party before us left it snd it was the best beer we had ever tasted



My partner cleaning the long traverse pitch up to the shield roof. We were hoping to lead the roof pitch that day but everything takes longer on a wall than it should so we ended up sleeping under the roof. The evening light was amazing.

Happy holidays everyone!

Zenyatta Entrata: Not a wall, but a fun aid climb nonetheless.

West Side Story, Fishers

Sentinel, Monument Valley

Here's one from the Sundevil Chimney, on the Titan, in the Fisher Towers.

The hanger is acting a bit like a caprock here, protecting the area directly underneath from erosion. This has left the bolt in a protruding cone as the wall has weathered away.

Not Yosemite, Cap Trinite in Quebec, Canada. I'm not an experienced big wall climber, but it definitely seems like I got the bug after doing my first one this past August. Pretty hard to find someone up here in Ontario to learn from, except for maybe PTPP who actually resides within minutes of where I live, although I've never met him. My buddy and I self learned though videos, books, and great forums, such as this one.

Best Thread ever!

Clayton, is that Madagascar?

Yes sir, except for the last one.

Here's a few from Excalibur

Looking up at pitch 6


This aluminum dowel could predate the 1975 FA (the wide pitches above had thwarted a few attempts). I thought it was a cool relic.


Looking up at pitch 9

That's what a aluminum dowel looks like. All those are replaced with Rawl Rivet's on Tangerine Trip.

Harding must have been the first person to use rivets on El Cap, don't you think? On the Wall of the Early Morning Light probably.

More from Looking Glass

This is what dreams are made of

DFU!


a RURP worth 100lbs... Or a beak worth 1,000,000?!?
