Responding to Pete's question, I'm definitely up for another trip report like this one!
Pete: Looking at this thread so far, I'd say you'll have an abundance of appreciative readers, if you're willing to put in the effort.

Nice photos (although way too many of HD in clouds.) I have but one question... was there any gear you guys didn't take?

"I have but one question... was there any gear you guys didn't take?"
I sincerly doubt it, and desperately hope not. You can click here to get read [url="http://www.rockclimbing.com/articles/index.php?id=49"]Dr. Piton's Ultimate Big Wall Checklist.[/url] If you climb big walls [or aspire to] and have never seen this checklist, it is worth a click. People come up to me in Yosemite all the time and tell me that they use it. I think you'll find it comprehensive and hopefully a bit entertaining. It's well cross-referenced with links to various posts and stuff. In fact, beneath I've hotlinked a photo to some of the stuff we took up the wall with us.
"I'm up for more...but," "This time, I climbed with a hottie as you suggested" "I'm a little skeptical...."
You're right, she might not be a hottie. Then again, she might.
What! Me tease?

Below is a photo of our bivi at Big Sur Ledge showing some of the stuff we brought. Most prominently displayed is the haul line knot protector which you see in the foreground. It's made from one of those automotive funnels you use for pouring transmission fluid. You need to use duct tape to reinforce the clip-in point at the bottom, and to wrap around the top as the plastic is a bit brittle. The gentle taper lets your pig slip easily around obstructions.
I'll be uploading more photos of our ascent of North America Wall and we'll put together another trip report similar to the Tribal Rite one.
Cheers,
Pete

No problem, Jeff. Until such time as she sends me any photos from her camera, you're stuck with such photos from mine....

Well, she certainly is a step up from Tom (in the beauty dept.). Looks like she could crack walnuts with that ass -- wow.

You'd best watch your ass with comments like that, Ed, or she'll crack your bald head between her cheeks.

Ed! A little respect. Cybelle has led pitches that I'm still too chicken to climb. That, and your nuts on a wall ("wallnuts" - hehe) won't have a chance of getting anywhere near that ass, unless you are jugging her lines.

Respect?! My comment is boardering on worship! Definitely no insult intended, and I have no doubt she could climb circles around me and pummel me into oblivion in the Meadow.
Cybelle -- sorry if the comment was offensive. I figured any woman who can tolerate doing a wall with Pete is probably immune to a drooling idiot like me.
