Let's just say that next time I'm bringing two pillows. I was in the ballpark, but couldn't pull it off. Mike Friedrichs (Jaybro's original belayer) belayed me while Jaybro took pictures from the peanut gallery. Other members of the peanut gallery were Gal, Em, Goatboy, this dude named Bill who had the gallery in stitches nearly the whole time I was up there, Sishoo, and Elizabeth. The vibes couldn't have been better.
Lucille is definitely a lesson in chicken wings. The closest thing that I've done to something like this is Big Grunt at Mt Woodson. What makes Lucille so much harder is it flares outward. It requires being essentially horizontal for several moves. I ran out of gas whilst on my way to getting back to vertical.
Fun and memorable weekend. Mike and Jaybro were gracious and helpful. Pictures will be following, I'm sure.

Good on ya Grug for the sincere effort. Clearly you didn't heed my advise on the skin toughening H2O2 hot tub, urethaned chest hair and naked ascent. Maybe next time. Cheers.

Hoh man! I thought he had it! It was so cool to watch. We were with him! Shanti was cheerleading via the Internet from the Bering sea, live!
So much positive energy! He was there! I swear!
Photos to follow!

In the ballpark? That must account for the way this thread hits it out of the park so many ways.

What?? You mean Jaybro's nemesis is nontrivial? No surprise there, but way to attack it!

Hey thanks, y'all. This was a truly cool experience. I gotta say, I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures. The vantage from the peanut gallery was really good.
