Ammon is our humble site hardman, he does not ring the "look at me" bell relentlessly.
Is this secret near a gambling town ??? ;)

Wow! I'm looking forward to "the rest of the story."
And I agree, Adam. Ammon is a class act.

Haa haa ha, No Adam.... that's a different secret. The Secret Cave:

Well, I'm sure Catra didn't want to spill the beans before we "actually" did it.... BUT, Brian and I are going back to Zion this weekend.
This time we have something else up our sleeves.
I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
Cheers, Ammon

Sweet mother of god, that's fast!!!! That had to be like the 4th ascent? I'm not sure That a lot of the people looking at this really know just how bad ass it is! Ammon you are a true speed demon, especially to have done this on a truly hard aid testpiece such as Latitudes. Of course you also had one hell of a partner! Brian Mccray has got to be one of the most unknown aid MASTERS out there...
Good stuff fella's...

I agree Josh. Brian is the BEST wall partner I've ever had the honor to rope up with.
It's mind boggeling how he get's overlooked as much as he does. He's put up sick routes in the REAL mountains around the world, as well as climbing 5.14.
I don't think a lot of people can really grasp the concept of what we did.... unless you've been up there.
It was "in your face" just about every placement.
I'm getting psyched to rope up again this weekend.
STAY tuned!!! Ammon

Thanks Guys!!!
Ok, it wasn't really a secret.... just didn't want to say anything, until we did something.
Brian and I were trying to send 5 Zion routes in a day. Well, we ran out of steam after climbing three routes mainly due to only having three hours of sleep.
BUT, we sent three routes in a day..... in record time.
Prodigal Sun - 2:36, Moonlight Buttress - 1:57 and Lunar Ecstasy - 4:09.
I want to thank Joe Auer (pinscar) for all of your help and coming down from SL to take pics of us.
Next time we'll try it on a day we didn't have to work, so we can get some more sleep.
Cheers, Ammon

Wow! That's really amazing! A real inspiration....
PS. Belated well done on New Jersey Turn Pike - I didn't realise what you were on at the time until I saw the addition on Hans' site. Your pirate cries kept me motivated and living!

My TR on Latitiudes is almost done..... but I'm not goint to post it, YET.
One of the rags might be publishing it and I don't want to give it away until after the issue is gone.
There is one pic of the ascent here:

Enhancement? I didn't even have a chisel.....
JK. Yeah, I used Adobe to outline those colorful and bitchin' Yates speed aiders I'm using.
I think that's the 3rd pitch........

OK, OK - after scratching my head about this for some time, I have finally figured it out. You used a thermos, right? You brought your coffee in a thermos. That has to be it, right? There is no way you guys had time to brew it on the go. [At least, I don't think you did....]
But dude! That photo is ETS! I thought that it was a water-colour painting. I highly recommend you submit it here, as it'll be voted to make the front page for sure! Very very cool.
