Blinny... it is Kevin, Teds partner... I got some sweet pics of the entire route... they had good colors but didnt wear them most of the time... but still they got some nice shots to remember the climb from... good climbing team too...
Look at the Croatian girls... now those chics have real style!! And they were rewarded with lots of pics... the more colorful you are the more the camera gets pointed your way... basic law of physics there... right Ed?!

Tom, you'll be glad to know that my new jacket just came in, its a Das Parka in a fabulous I'm going to be the first mandarin orange to climb el cap in under...I mean over...17 days!
:)
And Pete, the cluster in the shot is "Bivy put away cluster." Shockingly, everything thats out actually went *in* the haul bag, rather than dangling around it like Christmas decorations. ;)
Can't wait to haul...I mean climb... with you again next year!
-Kate.

Yeah Kate ... you know you are one of my most photogenic climbers on the big stone and I would love to burn all those black things you like to wear!!!
Looking forward to seeing you raging on the big stone again... next spring maybe if I am still alive....

Heh, I know, Its just that the black is slimming. Orange helmet on the way, too, after the unfortunately timed departure of the white one. If you use a slow shutter speed next time I take a whipper, it might just look like a sunset. :)
If 8 hour leads on A3 is Raging, well, I'm all for that. heh. I guess you like it when you don't have to move the scope very often. Between me and Gene, you're going to get all lazy on us...
Maybe see you before you leave Tom, and you better be alive for next spring!
And Pete, to see it, you'll have to be out of your sleeping bag before I've led off around some corner...but then, why WOULD we break with tradition? ;) As long as you can make coffee in your sleep that isn't to Bad, and give me some kind of a Sign when its ready, WE'RE ON!
-Kate.

Yeah, I didn't know there was a trailer park on the wall.

Under that bright orange, yellow, and red Euro-suit? I'll only be wearing what I was Born with, so probably not.

Thanks Tom for the images, your patience and keen eye. Thanks Werner for posting Tom's images, installing wig wags and being in the Valley. Knowing you and Merry are around is very calming. All of your contributions to the tribe span many years. Thanks!

I guess you missed the shot of one of those folks sending a baby pig screaming down 200 feet and hitting 10 feet to the right of me, Tom! Bummer. I'm sure the look on my face was priceless! hah!
Great shots! I have some fairly similar to the first couple, which I took after leaving the bridge the other day. The light and colors are amazing in the park right now! With temps perfect for climbing. An amazing late season so far.
