It's beautiful up here on Iron Hawk right now, the rock and the climbing are awesome. It's getting dark, I just ate and am listening to music and am sitting here in perfect temps. I'm turning in shortly, I have two shortish pitches to do tomorrow, can't decide if I'll link them or not. I may just do them individually and avoid too much technical planning.
Oh well, that my report,
Cheers,
Good night!
Hey, BTW, a bunch of people have yelling up, cheering me on. I may not have turned around and responded, sometimes it's hard to tell where the sound is coming from, but I really appreciate it! Thanks!

There was a beautiful stack of lenticular clouds on Mt. Hood tonight. The beauty of the mountain beckons your safe return. Have a peaceful journey on the Cap. Rock on, bro.

First of all, I gotta figure out how the rope gets up there.
HugeDong told me, but my memory isn't what it used to be!
You still awake, Mark?

Okay, it's morning and I'm awake. Sorry, can't post photos from my iPhone to SuperTopo. Maybe I can send one to Max and he can post it.
Really, a ton of thanks to you all, I'm feeling the good vibes!
As usual, it's fricken beautiful up here, the morning sun on the very prow of El Cap, the sparrows chirping, the sounds of other climbers waking up, gear jangling.
I'm rocking the Deschutes River Blend, same as last time.
Ian, yur gonna die, but I guess you know that, eh?
Okay, gotta get to eating and packing for another awesome day on The Captain!

Yeah Mark - send the i phone picts and I will post away!
Good to see you are Toms rookie cub reporter - on the scene!! Just need a yellow slicker and some rain and howling wind to set the scene...
I'm thinking a morning video would be too tough to take though. Best time of day up there!!
Carry on!!
