That rope isn't ours, but a team in front. I am soloing ... yes ... in tennis shoes!... That is however as far as my ascent went, about four feet above the deck, for the sole purpose of being able to put it in my logbook: 'The Nose, El Cap', then in very small writing '(first 10 feet of)'. My brother was kicking himself later for not having done the same!
The 'heart' on Salathe Wall is top left of photo.

Daft that people are seriously casting 'votes' on this hopefully quite amusing, 'historical' snapshot!! What on earth has it got to do with either voting or photography??

We are voting for your rather fetching trousers

Ah! That explains everything!

Ah yes that was my high point in 1976.
