What a great thing to wake up too, reading all four pages of the 1990 Descent magazine! thanks Kenny- Warren's sense of humor was, agh... well it was out there. I remember sharing many vino nights with Warren where we all could have benefited by using the drinking leash... God do I ever miss old Batso.

On the final push they started below the Great Roof and went all the way to the summit.
Height wise that's about 2/3 of the way up, but time wise it's about 1/2 way up (for the time it takes typical teams to make the climb).
I tended to think of the climb as fully sieged, but they really did half of it in a push. Badass.

Here is a not so great picture of one of Warren's Bat Tents. Post Nose Route.
Fet, They were getting tired of all the re-supplying and the weather was starting to turn on them. They were very happy to get it done and over with.

Whoaa!!!! That summit triumphant triumvirate photo is so cool! First time I've seen it. Thanks again for bringing all this awesome history to the public.
Are they waving white flags of surrender to the captain?

"They were getting tired of all the re-supplying and the weather was starting to turn on them."
And they were also under the threat of the rangers shutting them down if they went to the ground (after Thanksgiving). But up on the side of El Cap nobody was telling Warren what to do!

I recall Warren estimating the number of vertical feet of prussiking but not the final number. Anyone recall the figure?

Bill “Dolt” Feuerer killed himself in 1971. Trying to think when I got these from him....'69,'70.
Amazing if he would have been still around and seen the equipment now. Hmmmmm
