More Pictures...
My Uncle just sent me some pictures of the climb...
Leading the 2nd pitch
Willie, waiting...
That's me way up there. (3rd pitch)
Looking back/down (I think this is the top of the 4th pitch)
Got to get back to work...we're WAY behind schedule.

Hey, It's me again :o)
Nice pictures!! Was it a bolted route or did you place the pro. ? Or a mix? :o)
Most pitches were face climbing...bolted (if you dare call it that), meaning one bolt half-way up and two bolts for the belay! Some of my runouts were about 60'-70' long! For the most part, any pitch that was way runout was no harder then 5.4...
I did carry a small rack that I used on the first, second and seventh pitches...mostly small cams and a set of nuts. I was able to girth hitch a couple of 'chicken heads' near the top.
So, you want to do it??? I'm not sure I'll be ready to do it again for a while. But if it means another trip to Yosemite...and it'll bring you out...you never know!?!
Hi Justin!

I don't think I will ever try that. :) Thanks for the comment on my blog.
Looks *gulp* scary!
Thanks for posting even though you are behind scheulde.
Haha that does sound kinda scary for a first time mp climb :o/ I still wanna do it!! Sometime. :o) I am looking into a 6-8 pitch climb up Longs peek( a fourteener) in Colorado..... It is called the Diamond. There is like 6 routes up and I think the easiest one is a 5.9 :o) Soooo it will probably be a while..... after a bit of training...Ya wanna do it with me? :o)
I looked at Long's peak...looks like fun, although I don't think I'm ready for a 5.9 lead climmb yet! Guess I better start training.
