"We are now down 6 feet at least, and into historic trash from the '80s"
That's exciting; hey, if you happen to come across my old Flock of Seagulls cassette ...

That is some evil sh#t to dig out. Thanks for the great effort.

Many thanks.
In other places, park rangers do not participate in rescues. Glad to see that is supported and not taken for granted.
Cleaning up after ourselves and others is essential to keeping public lands open for climbing. My fantasies about climbing the Nose never reflected the realities that you describe. There aren't as many excuses we can use here about being in the death zone, etc.I'd like to see more public recognition of the selfless folks that haul out others trash.

Thanks for a great job, guys! I haven't needed you yet, and hope I never do, but it's comforting to know you're there.
Cheers,

Thank you guys for doing the cleanup. I was there on 4th July week and it was truly sad. Used a portaledge above it to avoid the smell and it partially worked.

I just had a vision of you guys dropping that sh-t hook.
Man! If I were at the base and that thing skewered into the ground next to me at 200 mph I think I would consider golf as my pastime of choice.
Happy to see you have that dagger tied in!

Hey Jesse,
Thanks a ton for the update. Amazing rescue that YOSAR pulled off flawlessly. Congratulations! As others have said, I haven't needed your rescue services to this point, (and hope I never do) but knowing your team is out their is comforting. Thanks also to the entire team for the camp VI clean up. Sound too gross to comprehend. You guys do an incredible job for the big stone. Thanks again.

Thanks. Cool photos. Look out of the park archeologists - they'll get after you for picking up historic trash. :)

I watched this rescue from the meadow last week.
Good work by everyone involved.
I wondered, how long was the rope that lowered the rescue party from the top?
When the injured party left the wall in the litter via chopper line, THAT was a king swing!

Great pics Jesse
and great job!
what Silver said on the respirator. Can't believe you were just using the paper masks. I'd have puked.
Love the pics of the team. Good to see faces attached to names.
My Big Wall Naivete is showing: never having been up the Nose I had no idea what a cesspool it's become in places like that.

Thanks for the pics and updates. We witnessed the rock fall from the DNB and stopped by the Meadow the next day to witness the rescue. I was very impressed with the awesome display of skill and grace under pressure.
Now I find out you stuck around to clean up after careless climbers, you guys are my heroes!

Great job!! Great photos!
I wonder if a small metal sign posted at camp VI in multiple languages would help any?

As long as the sign said" Litter here & we will KILL you. Have a nice Day."
Props, Jesse.
