Wow, what a great adventure. I have spent my time in below zero temps and blasting wind waiting it out inside a tent.

I was in Yosemite one time, standing below El Capitan, wondering what it would be like. Then I noticed there was some damn fool hanging in his sleeping bag from the face. It appears there is a crack in the mountain, from lower left to upper right as you face it, dude was right there, probably a thousand feet above me. Sleeping bag, pitons, somebody was in there.

I could probably sleep like that, after two hours of terror :)
