Nice! I need to go back and try the original way some time. I don't remember much of the route details, but I remember the walk-off more clearly. Cool spot, and I was glad to have hiking boots on that descent because a big rock rolled over my foot and hurt me but didn't break anything. Flip-flops or normal climbing shoes would have been ugly.

Mike - I had a solid brain fart when I told you el cap earlier :D
Thanks for the stoke everyone! Happy to finally start contributing back some TRs - the TR section has been an endless source of inspiration for me for a long time :)

Nice report and photos, Joe. Easy to get off route on any descent if you're not careful.
