Just got off ten days after this morning, it was dry and so was the prow. Multiple parties were sending south face, and there was even a fixed line with parties minitraxioning the enduro corner of astroman. Pretty prime weather too.

From near the bridge near Curry, it looks like a profile of George Washington's nose.
Now is the end-of-winter of our content.

That fixed line has been on Astroman for a few years, if it's the one we encountered in 04. IF I remember correctly it was stretched really tight.
It came in handy when my partner took a nice leader fall right before he hit the 5.9 section at the top of the enduro corner. It was really hot that morning.
That day was a classic climbing day in the valley! He was so pooped from his great lead that he puked!
The problem is that the route is overhanging and he hung directly over the belay. You can guess where the spew landed. Right on top of us!
Man, if someone could of caught that on film, it would've made the cover of climbing mag! El cap pics, where were you that day?
