Don't hide your light under a bushel, Jane, how did it go?

It went well, a seriously anti-speed ascent over 10 days. It was my first climb on El Cap so was a bit daunting. This is the most normal looking self-portrait, I looked distinctly madder as the days went on.

Well done, I bailed off it a while ago from half height, too hot, too thirsty, too jet lagged! We'd pretty much drunk all the water half way through day two! Things got better after that.
Well done though, you must have got into the 'rhythm' by day eight ;-). It's other worldly being up there with mates, what it's like alone........... Great effort.
