| The Nose, June 1989 Not a particularly good shot of Geoff Pryor on the last hanging belay, below the summit overhangs. Geoff, from Baltimore, was my partner on the road to climb El Cap for the first time. We met in Camp Four, after both of us had sorted thru the riff-raff of wannabe aid climbers and resident hardmen. I didn't want to team up with some experienced wall rat that would carry the whole load, and the same time trying to dodge the obviously hopeless specimens. Judging a persons character and true abilities in a 5 minute conversation is tricky. Geoff and I hit it off and we went at it the classic way, starting out on the Column, then Half Dome and finally the Big Stone. The preps paid off. On the Nose we felt nicely in control of things, weren't too wasted and did good time. |
