In reply to: The third ascent of Jolly Roger was also made solo - by none other than Yosemite's own Brad Jarrett. I think but am not certain Brad was involved in the first ascent of Tempest on El Cap, but whether or not he was, I'm gonna stick in this link to this AMAZING photo of Tempest on El Cap. Why not, eh?

Pete, you were right in the first place.
3rd ascent of Tempest:

I tried to edit the link above to say it wasn't the original topo.

Thanks Josh.
Cheater sticks are still cheater sticks; you ain't climin' the route if you use one. It's up to you.

Maybe you're missing the point. I can put this into perspective for you: "See PTPP. See PTPP spray. PTPP likes to spray! PTPP wants a sponsorship from RainBird."
In reply to: cantwin, If you can't figure it out, then I'm worried about you. josh
This is just priceless. Match, game, point.

PTPP IS sponsored. And it's even a liquid sponsor.
Photos forthcoming shortly.

Correct beverage, Tommy.
But wrong manufacturer.
Guess again.

Yes, That's Valerio, Yes, that's our ascent.
Yes, the reaches can be made without the hammer-cheater thing with Russian Aiders, if you are at least 5'7" tall with a +4 ape index: With Russian Aiders I was making the reaches between the furthest rivets, but was hooking the cuff directly into the rivet hangers to do so.
My worst fear is that Gerberding starts using Russian Aiders. Then I'll definitely need a LONG stick for his ladders.

Hey Pete --
Yes, got back the Russian Aiders, Thanks!
And the Tempest T.R. is posted now, but warning: I tend to focus on things other than route beta, daily reporting or other prosaic details when I write T.R.s.

What if Gerberding drilled a ladder on a slab and was able to stand in his hero loops without using Raiders? Then what would you do, Pete?
