Since PTPP and I were going to "flag" our ledges above the pigs, I
figured I should put a real flag on mine. I'm standing on the ledge at the
top of P2 of Scorched Earth, which is a free-hanging jug 200-foot (60m) above
the El Cap Hilton. This was our Advance Base Camp for the next two pitches.
Pete took this photo while returning to ABC after knocking off the crux
A4+ fourth pitch.
