Cole, thanks for all the hard work you did putting this together. You make Drew an me look good (well, except for the wrinkles). Now, when do I get my copy on my HD I gave you?

Wow! Just wow! As others have said, that was a tremendous send and Cole produced a great telling of the tale. Andrew and Jan deserve both kudos, laurels and olive branches...
No asterisk on that ascent, fer sure! <g>

Thanks again guys for all the great comments! This has been a really rewarding project to work on and I couldn't hope for a better response. I know Andrew has a few things planned for the future, onsight attempt of the Pirate at Suicide I believe, among other things, and I look forward to documenting those as well.

I'm looking at your hard drive right now :) I'll bring it next time I go to Stoney and give it to Guy if I don't see you.

Dogtown, Astroman is a much less serious undertaking albeit a totally different kind of route. If you get as runout on Astroman as you must on B&Y it is by choice.

I know man. But it's longer and has some pretty tricky pitches. And if the boys have not done it? Well then it would be another classic Bachar route that should be on the list to get out of the way. I myself think it one the best free routes in the valley. And if they had not did it, Well they need to get on that sh#t.

Dog - You're absolutely correct. Doing Astroman was a highlight for me, but I have not done B&Y which may be why I said what I said.

One other climb that comes to mind is Darrell Hansel’s ISHI at Suicide. A bit harder and shorter but just as steep, A classic Suicide test piece!

Congratulations Andrew & Jan! Great job.
Cole that was just so cool. Thank you for bringing me/us into this cool thing. Seeing an idea, a climbing goal take on a life of it's own. Hearing about the momentum building up. The word of mouth. All the training. All the traversing. The planning, organizing, etc. You can see the pressure building. All the family and friends were even there. Then the awesome climbing. Great stuff!
Again great climbing Andrew and Jan.

Cole,
Great film! I'd also be pretty interested in viewing some non-time-lapsed footage (that is, real time footage where it is sped up in the film). It's a pretty thought provoking route, and it would be interesting to see someone pick his way up it.

Dog, I have tried Ishi back in the late 80s. There is one move on the first pitch getting to the flake, that at 5' 3 1/2" I can not reach. The second pitch, which was originally done by Jim Wilson as Quiet Desperation is also very sweet but desperate. It is an entirely different kind of climbing though.
