UKC

As requested, here is part 2 of trying to free the 'Wesite Face' of the leaning tower (5.13a / E7 6c).

I had no partner early in the trip so took up my novice girlfriend ???? - This vid has chat and some climbing - also thoughts from the ever-suffering Tama as she spends her second night on a big wall.

If I should post the next one too, let me know!

Questions / thoughts welcome!

Not sure where the '????' came from!

In reply to natetan:

Excellent ,you should be on television, better than a lot of the stuff on there......

In reply to Jim 1003:

Haha thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Funny how the Tubular Bells soundtrack is never promoted as a portaledge selling point. I honestly couldn't believe the noise when I rocked up at my local crag, hoping to have a quiet hour working out how the thing went together. After much research and practise I produced this:

I expect its of no use to you but someone on here may find it so.

In reply to natetan:

I'm not sure I could cope with paying that much for a tea bag. It would probably double the cost of my trip.

In reply to natetan:

It comes from trying to post certain emoticons. Did you post your OP from a mobile phone that offers many smiley faces to add to posts? UKC doesn't really do emoticons, possibly the most simple classic smiley typed as a colon and closing parenthesis will automatically become just a text sized plain mono smiley, but UKC certainly doesn't deal with the multiple graphics that your phone might assume that it will. I've seen it happen on my own posts.

I'll watch the vid later, the last one was great.

(checking the smiley thing)


:-D

Another fun instalment

In reply to natetan:

Really enjoyed this!

What time of year were you climbing?

In reply to Josh Willett:

This was in mid April, unfortunately Yosemte had its wettest/snowiest winter for decades so the conditions were exceptionally bad when I arrived.

In reply to Blue Straggler:

Ah yeah, that probably is it.. Thanks!

In reply to Mark Collins:

haha so true!
