Dr. Piton Gets Others to Schlep For Him
This is photo #3 of 3.
In typical Dr. Piton style [rather like Tom Sawyer] Dr. Piton manages to get the others to do his work for him.
This is particularly important when Dr. Piton is stupid enough to drive Rick's truck down Karl's driveway when there was no hope whatsoever of it being driven out under its own power.
By getting others to do his work, Dr. Piton attempts to salvage his tarnished credibility.
Perhaps this hauling technology can be applied to big wall climbing. By winching your vehicle up El Cap behind you, it would then be possible to drive to Tamarack Flat, rather than face the rigours of descending the East Ledges. It remains to be seen if the benefit of driving from the summit would compensate for the extra work expended hauling.
[Note: Make sure any vehicle you winch up has 4-wheel drive. And if you're going to all that bother, you might as well throw a refrigerator in the back in order to keep your beer cold.]
