All our gear including clothes. |

Happy couple on the top of the Visor. |
|
|
|
Eva and Lukasz on the last pitch (photo taken by one of the hikers from the top of Half Dome). |
|
|
|
Pulling on the gear through the first zigzag. |
|
|
|
Eva taking a nap on the big sandy ledge. It was reasonably warm during the night. Still, since we only had down jackets, the legs were not isolated. Eva used our ropes to improve the isolation. |
|
|
|
Climbing the awesome last pitch before the sandy ledge. |
|
|
|
Lukasz chimneying through the 5.7 section. Placed the backpack on the front for this part. |
|
|
|
Eva climbing out through the chimney hole (she had to take her backpack off to squeeze through). You can see the bouldery face move where the chalk is. |
|
|
|
Eva following P2/P3 with the bigger backpack. |

Eva linking the fixed lines in the middle of the death slabs approach. |

|
Despite getting jammed up by some slow parties we couldn't pass we still did the HDIAD. |
|

|
Happily Ever After! Someone had to cull that dangerous tat from the route. |
|
|
|
Moments after this was taken, Mark ass rode the section from the trees at the top of the gully through the bushes and past the lower border of this photo. |
|
|
|
Pulling on to Big Sandy. |
|
|
|
Sending!!!! |
|
|
|
Onward! The final fixed line. |
|
|
|
Hardware store ropes don't belong on Half Dome! |
|
|
|
Wrong way bro!!! |

“This is it?! I’ve heard all this lore over the years about these dangerous slabs and the crappy fixed lines, but these ropes look fine and these slabs are EASY!” |
