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.

Did you find my partner's swiss army knife from back in '89? The garbage in the crack was deep enough back then that we couldn't reach in and retrieve it.

Anyone want to continue talking about capturing your water waste and hauling it out?

They don't lower the litter out from the anchor? that seems pretty rowdy!
Surprised Lober rides the litter, you'd think some young hot shot would do that.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Riley,
They are N-95s. They seemed to do the trick, stopped the smell, and I'm not sick after a week.
Tom, You're getting here on the 10th? I have some fun work for you to do once you're here. I need the El Cap bridge liason back...soon!
I am definitely thinking of a sign in multiple languages to post at Camp 6. Maybe a plexi-glass one that we could update every few months.
The concrete or metal grate option won't fly (to much of an instalation in wilderness). Plus I think it would be cool if we could get it 100% clean, and actually have climbers all give the place the respect it deserves.
