OK, now that I have figured out how to post pics here, I would like to share some pics from Zodiac courtesy of Corey Rich and Coreyography (he's good). No narration, just some good photos. Enjoy. Cracko

That was pretty cool and nice perspective.
There was another party above you taking those photos?
Thanks

Werner,
That was Corey Rich and company...Justin Bastien and Todd Snyder.
They climbed a couple pitches ahead of us and "dangled" to get most of the photos.

OK, thanks, that's great.
That's the way to do it to get those great wall shots.

Those are exceptionally good. And even the last couple capture the top-out feeling better than most.

By the way, my climbing partner on Zodiac was Martin Avidan from New York. Corey used the photos, and sound recorded by Jason Paur of National Public Radio to create a multi-media presentation called "Tortoise and the Hare". Martin and I were of course the hare recording a blistering ascent of 4 days. Chris Mac and Miles Smart were the Tortoise, featuring their 7 hour ascent of Zodiac. Jason Paur rigged our helmets with a sophisticated recording device and left it on for the whole four days. Aside from the mostly profanity ridden recordings, I'm sure he caught a few "introspective" moments.

Hey E.L.
Martin and I practically learned how to climb together starting out at Stoney Point in the mid 80's. I remember getting a call from him while he was on his way up to do the climb (1999?). I remember him saying something about you integrating the climb into a fund raiser for kids/students as you are a teacher?
I can't say enough about Martin and so you must have had a great time doing the climb with him. One of the most gracious people on the planet. My climbing took a major dump when he moved to New York.
Nice work....
Regards,
Doug Miller

Hi Doug,
You must have known him when he was into cycling....The Wheelman,
when he lived in Cali. He's heavily into triathalons now and completed his first Ironman a while back. Haven't talked to him for a while and was sorta hoping to draw him out with this post.
Martin was a great partner and we truly shared a dream.

I think Corey Rich took this shot of you too...
although judging by the breasts it could also be Phil Mickelson.

Great post Cracko--some excellent photos in that montage. And those top-out shots were da bomb.
Now I'm totally having withdrawal pains from not touching real rock in so long....aaarrrggghhhhhh...

Wow, that was really awesome.
I like that there are no descriptions, it let's the images speak and you form the tale in your own mind. Lot's of great shots and lots of work done to get them.
Thanks for sharing!
