[copenhagenmudjug]

is it just me or am i the only 1 thinking this looks too easy? idk, great job though looks awsome. i bet it was a blast! loved the video, hoping to climb there very soon, hit yosemite for some very fun technical multi-pitch.

Nice job, I felt like I was right there.

am i the only one that noticed that you raised your right hand in the video (for the picture) and the picture shows you waving with the left? By the way, I really like how you edited that together. Nice touch.

Is there a good time to climb the east face? I've never done it before I really want to try this summer.

@Cobra0911 Do it in the winter. No one there. May have to hike much farther as you may not be able to get your car to the Portal.

[Cobra0911]

@canofcrass Cool Thanks!

I looked straight down from the top and It kinda freaked me out. But I see this video and it makes me sick. Congrats to anyone with the gut to do this..

Great video. Was the Fresh Air Traverse the toughest technical part of the climb? What would you rate it? Thanks.

[endocondor]

I could never do this.

kewl, hadn't seen pics up close. that was interesting watching vid.

highcuu, we were climbing on two separate ropes, with the leader belaying both of us simultaneously. Both ropes were clipped into the same gear, so the 2nd just unclipped and kept going, while I followed and cleaned all the gear.

[SierraDescents]

And yeah, there a few pitons that stay put.

[highcuu]

I didn't see the second ever remove any pro. Every time I saw him unclip a piece, it looked like he just racked the sling and kept climbing. Am I just missing it every time?

[highcuu]

Oh, I just noticed the first one was a pin.

[NotSoOldHippy]

We don't see much of the person laying down the safeties, but it's nice seeing the follow-up climber making use of them.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Awesome.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Vholdr ContourHD. Quirky camera, but resolution is very nice.

What camera setup did you use here? Very good quality!
