Yeah I was gonna ask if you took photos, although at least on the last part it might not have been the best of photo conditions.
A cool thing would have been to document, the descent.
...how Blonde is that, to suggest a proct for an event already passed?
Again nice work!

It is really hard to take photos that are any good while soloing especially if you don't have much company nearby. Too much to do anyhow!

i took photos, the usual solo ones, the rope going through the pro while cleaning, self portraits, the ravens visiting on el cap tower, the icy slabs. it is beyond me to do a trip report with photos, but maybe somebody could help or show me how when i get back from patagonia. i should get a photo of the screamer that activated during "the fall", man, those things really work. steve

Hey Poop,
Speaking of screamers, didn't you make quick draws back in the day with a Speedy Stitcher.

Good on ya, Stevie ! Proud ascent. I take it back now, you didn't need a guide.
But I'd still recommend the condom.

He can't die, he's Shipoopi!
I think you'll be fine, m'man. Just checking in.
You are the one we ex-pat East Euros watch.
You have been chosen, and well, I could add.
