Some trips have the effect of a pronounced before/after demarcation in the lives of the Trippers....thanks for bringing us along.

Your wonderfully creative spirit is in full display in this TR, man - thanks for sharing! And thanks to the bumpers, or I would have missed this one.
Way to keep your head in the storm, too - bad sh#t can go down only meters from the top, as we all know.

I used to think I was a cravy Polack. What a report. "As soon as we find the balance - things shift." BAI

Regan, I also solo, both walls and alpine. It is something I just have done, not able to train for, just a space I get into and go. Thank you for letting me into your space, and training me for my next stoke.
This is by far the best TR I have seen, read, and experienced. The icing is, I am currently planning my next wall, this winter, solo. So this could not have happened along at a better time. All the things to aspire to in life, there are a couple in your TR that are world class. Thank you sooooo much.

Classic man....Classic...
You've inspired big wall newbies across the land, you crazy bastard!...I'll be back in the valley for the start of the spring season in late april/early May. Hopefully we'll run into each other at the Lodge Cafeteria. Same place, new month. Peace!

i am soooo not worthy. great report. tres impressed, and thanks for keeping it here for all of us to see.
maybe an aside, but was the Trip the route that saw the ghostbusters ascent? if so, can someone post a little about it? if anything, i think it might add to the seriousness, as well as preserve some history.

Yo....
Thank you for all your posts!
Doug: Unfortunately I havent seen you in the Valley in this year. Sorry, but in the day of storm, I heard The Survivar's Suite only...
As far as I remeber, I really felt all "remote support" from people in the Valley and all of you checking Tom's El Cap Reports. Thank you for your positive thoughts...
Keep the balance:)

The proudest trip report I have read in years.
In my view, Poland continues to have most favored nation status among climbers.
Thank you and Godspeed.
