Triple Direct, El Capitan

[Kennedysirhandoswald]

My total respect and admiration goes out to all of you who climb ! I was a linebacker in college and captain of my team but got cut from the pros and have to say I would go out there without any pads any day before I could get enough nerve to climb as you do . It's a thing of beauty that you do ! Take care KSO

[sarvelaj]

oh and hey...at least you dont have to worry about bears while you sleep up there hahaha :)

[sarvelaj]

I can't WAIT until next summer, my first real climb at Devil's Tower. I'm so excited.

[MisterT468]

wait...do you camp in cracks and caves in the wall or do you just hang there overnight...?

[chinookfixer]

New to climbing, i struggle with 5.10's.... but someday I hope to make the El Cap cend. Everest is a little far fetched of a dream, but El Cap is definitely more a possibility some day!

[HosteDenis]

@UserNamei5 Yes, alex honnold did it.

[mulpro]

want to try it...

[dapro2208]

did you have sopts where you set camp over night? any pics of that? or do you sleep harnassed in?

[adenc]

@UserNamei5. Hasn't been done yet, but might be this year.

[thecooker241]

lol did i just see a quickdraw with a cordette bone?

I can't wait for my first trip to El Cap! Thanks for the great vid.

[adenc]

In answer to questions below...pee in empty water bottles, evacuate bowels in bag....haul it all out (empty pee where convenient off route). Camp 6 (high on the Nose section near where I fell) is a testatment the need for all parties to haul out there excrement.....that little platform and the crack behind it had a stink like no other. There truly is nothing worse than being dehydrated (which you will be on a wall) and entering a section of hot rock where many parties have piss.

[Super2loose]

Makes me wonder if you just piss over the edge or against the rock!

[Qipt]

Nice video guys...cant just help to ask....how do you take your shit?

[fede6870]

such a great way to spend 4 days and 3 nights. those pics are just past amazing. this vid rocks!

[whiterottenrabbit]

Dude, I have acrophobia and I almost shit my pants just from watching! Speaking of shit: where do you go, when you're 4 days at this wall?

[Masdiaz59]

Amazing shots, little alone the climb. Kudos to all.

[cedartree696]

Congrats guys! Nice climb & video.

[MARCIACANTILLANA]

[teahupo26]

[steezysn0brdr]

nice vid. cheers

[logik101]

Cool vid.

The song is:

Artist: Nick Drake

Song: One Of These Things First

[sickledge]

Nice blend of photos and live footage. I had seen it posted before and gave up early when I saw the stills at the start, figuring I might as well just read a book, but now I see the live action too, and realize it makes a very nice combination. Thanks for taking the time to film and post it.

[randomnumbers2697]

Song was originaly on the album "Bryter Layter" originally released - 1970

[randomnumbers2697]

Song is "One of these Things First" by Nick Drake from the Garden State album (CD)

[randomnumbers2697]

Nicely done photos, video and the music fit well also. I have never climbed in Yosemite, but have visited there often. Heaven! Hope to return someday with climbing gear.

Great work!

[JavierDurango]

Great video! I can't stop watching it. Triple Direct was the first big wall that I climbed back in 1992. What is the name of the song in the beginning? Who performed it? Too fun. Thank you for bringing me back to the good old days...

[adenc]

glad you liked it - was really fun. cant remember the artist who sang that song but its off the Garden State movie cd. get back up there man!

[IveGotTheNuts]

im assuming you aided this route. But was there a chance you freed the whole thing . Let me know either way KOOL but wondering if peeps still aided these days.

[MrM5tr]

@adenc It's Nick drake

[dawnfather]

@JavierDurango It's Nick Drake, "One of These Things First"

[shortymcshrimp28]

@JavierDurango Don't know the song, but it's definitely Nick Drake.

[kerzane]

@JavierDurango

One of these things first - Nick Drake

[JavierDurango]

I love this video. Can't stop watching it! This was my first wall back in '92. What is the name of the song at the beginning? Great work.
