Tobin and I also skied in when we did the 2nd ascent of the upper falls. Here is a link to that thread:

Climbed with Ed Sampson last week and he recounted the story of his first ascent of the much harder lower Sentinel Falls. Eddie needs to tell that story here.

Missed this first time around. Thanks for the story Mark. I remember when you and Kevin showed your slides in the valley of Widow's Tears. Inspiring.

Eddie's story from when he and Leversee and I did the upper falls in the mid-80's missed one important point - there was so much water running on top of the ice that by the time we were at the top of the first pitch we were soaked - I had a similiar experience on Silver Strand years later. Must be just standard fare for climbing ice in Yosemite. That's why, Eddie, we were "hallucinating" on the way back - besides the long ski, slog there and back.
