On sunday we did the el cap lieback and just relaxed and watched other people climb. The hands felt fine the next day but my legs are still sore. Chiloe that picture is my favorite. Thanks for all the replies.

Now whenever you start to get cranky or whiney about something, remember how lucky you are! Tend that garden well.
Awesome job!

Good on ya. I took my wife up a one pitch 5.7 in Courtright 10 years ago. She freaked. We rapped. We are still happily married after 14 years. She's the ultimate campground/ basecampstress these days, burgers on the fire, happy hour brewing, kids tucked in by the time I straggle back to camp..... but no climbey for wifey.

My feet hurt just reading it. Knott finding the trail over to the falls and coming down NDG probably saved your feet and Knees. Great link up, I've wanted to do it for 3 decades but even after getting up the arches in sub 3 hours(15+ times) the thought of more slab climbing on my feet never kept the fire burning...Good job. You folks are ready for the Mortals link up of Half Dome and El cap in a day.......

Fun! I'd love to do Crest Jewel!
Oh, and that trail back to Yosemite Falls? It is faaaaarrrrr... it took us hours to bushwhack up to it from the top of Royal Arches. Fun once, probably will never do it again.

nice job guys! I sincerely don't remember it being difficult at all to catch the trail back to Yosemite Falls/Camp Four. Sorry for the bad beta. Oh, and post a Shasta TR and have Jess post her "SF run" as a TR...

Another idea is to bring a 7 or 8 mil line on the RA and stash it near the spring somewhere. Then after Crest Jewel, rap the arches descent. People say it is so much longer than the NDG but I disagree and it is more straight forward. The only problem is that if you have to do it in the dark, perhaps it has a high epic potential (I would say that NDG is higher though in the dark).
I have done RA to CJ once and then RA to CJD and both times we rapped it. The second time, we were walking down from CJ with a party that knew the NDG and so we planned to wait for eachother in the parking lot of the Awahnee to see which way was faster. We were out about half an hour ahead and not really rushing. That being said, I had rapped the route at least 3 times before so I am somewhat familiar with it and it was light out.

Good job y'all! A day to which many aspire, but few actually pull off.
I like how the guy is climbing with a t-shirt and 6 draws and wifey has that big ol' pack...a keeper indeed!
