A Sick Climb in Yosemite

|
The East Buttress of Middle Cathedral:  11 pitches, shot block energy cubes, 1 1/2 hour wait on a ledge for Kendra (the route is just up and to the right), beautiful view of El Cap, pro to 3 inches, 60 meter cord, 2 empty camel backs, 1 hunk, awesome 8th pitch, varied moves, and me sick out of my mind warbling down the 2 hour descent (that included two rappels over snow and water!)




About to begin our ascent



El Cap!



Waiting for Kendra to finish her pitch so the 5 of us below her could continue the climb




We finally made it to the top!  Now for the grueling descent...I was feeling very crappy at this point




We got a little desperate for water
