Thanks to EVERYONE who wished us well on the Mountaineer's Route and the e-ledges, especially the ledges. I KNEW I had to cross them this time and I wanted to do it in a way that my kids would feel comfortable. I partially succeeded. I did get a bit nervous about 3/4 of the way through.
Kaleb and Cy went after me, and yes, they were also apprehensive. But everybody did it and it was MUCH easier on the way back. I will do a longer report when I get all the video and pics organized. Needless to say, it was a blast, from rock climbing in Alabama Hills, crossing large water crossings and climbing HUGE Pancakes at the portal.....
Joe crossing the e-ledges - first time And I also had my Freak Flags with me the entire time. Check them out in the video.
