We’re done, we’re down, and we’re safe.
So, I’m sure it might have gotten a little confusing where we were in the climb, who was posting, and why there weren’t any audio clips from us on the wall. Turns out it’s a little more difficult to communicate from up there then we thought it would be. My sister, Julie, was nice enough to come up to the valley and be our base camp captain. She shuttled us around, helped us to the base of the route and hung out with the famous Tom Evans and the telescopes in El Cap meadow. So if you couldn’t figure it out, she was doing everything from the ground.
We’ll start going through all the video, photos, and audio when we get a chance. As of now, we’re headed to Mammoth to go backpacking with some friends for the next five days. I would guess that the posts about the trip will start next Monday.
Well done fellas. Does your body hurt?
Very sore hands dude.
congratulations!
Nailed it! The repel down must have been kick ass. Congrats!
Sick! Stoked guys, can’t wait to see the final posts! Congrats!
Damn, success must be sweet, if you guys havent already you guys NEED to watch Alex Honnold’s FREE climbs(no ropes-no nets) of that same goliath Monolith (im sure Timmy knows/ has already told you about him). Sure it will make you shit your pants, or your bags. Fucking sick guys, smashing performance. Wonder what was harder for Heath, climbing El Cap, or nosesliding the monolith of a hubba in his stay gold part, i know id rather climb El Cap.
My mistake, it was actually Half Dome- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICBrXUuwvgg- out of his gourd.
That guy’s gnarly. We actually had dinner with him, but we didn’t know who he was. Definitely have a new found respect for these types of people.
…hes got that crazy look in his eyes
Congrats guys. Can’t wait to see the posts.
Congratulations Jeff and Heath! Cheers and beers in the high Sierras!!!
Dudes! Amazing. Can’t wait to hear and see all the glorious goods. Well done homies.
Congrats on making it safely to the top!! I am interested in hearing stories and about how difficult it was for you both as new climbers, even with an experienced guide. Have fun backpacking!!
great work, jeff! this must’ve been an awesome experience. enjoy your time backpacking.
SO RAD!!! Congrats you guys! I had my dad following the bike ride last year and can’t wait to show him stuff from the climb this year. It was his dream to ride across the country in his 30’s but now he says he is too old and couldn’t do it 😦
Anyway, pretty inspiring stuff!
Dang you guys are awesome
well done fellas. always been a dream of mine – looking forward to the full follow-up report. on to the next adventure!
