Ledge Sweet Ledge - The Soloist's Home

There's no mistaking the view - that sweeping arc of granite beneath me tells you I'm high atop the concave Southeast Face of El Cap.

I've retired for the evening, and have the ghetto blaster set up and the tunes cranked while I enjoy my beer.

In case you're wondering how I got this picture on my solo ascent of The Shortest Straw, here's how - I handed my camera to the guys who passed me. After taking the photo, they zipped my camera back down the rope to me!

See those paper bags dangling beneath? That's my Wall Flower.
