Just walked out into the Meadow a bit, didn't see any action. The wall looked warm, but the meadow is frozen!
Thanks for the reports Tom!

Thanks for the great pics Tom, and I wish you a splendid warm year too.
It would be great to have a permanent link to the reports on this site. At least have a generic "El Cap report" thread that will be bumped every once in a while.

Great seeing you and thanks for all the wonderful pictures. What an adventure to follow.
See you again soon.

^^ We did not initially recognize you in the photo, "Orange Blossom".
You won't need any ice to keep your Blue Moons cold.
Thanks for keeping us apprised, Tom!

It really is looking like it will finally happen. Barring something odd..knock on wood.
A huge thanks to Tom making a special trip taking the time and in the cold to document a pretty solid piece of climbing history and sharing it with us.

Big day today... Tommy sent the crux 15th on the second go. It was dark when I left the meadow and kevin was about to do the pitch. Beautiful moon tonight and photographers lights on the wall will help Kevin see the micro holds. New York times reporter came out today and did an interview as they are going to run a story on the sports page. Lots of shivering people watching the climbing today... ElCap Report going up later on the day.

The weather's supposed to be warming up next few days. I'm sure those guys are gonna be happy about that.

Actually the guys are not happy about warmer weather... one reason they are climbing a lot in the dark of night. The shoe rubber works best in the cold and they need very advantage.
