Very, very good! All pics, little words, they weren't needed!
The pics tell the story. Those shots off the tower with Cathedral in the background are gut!
Nice stuff.

Nice photo essay F&S! Particularly liked the ledge/bivy pics, which take me back to when I climbed Salathe Nov. 78'. Appears we spent 1 night more, an uncomfortable one on the Block. What struck me as the big difference was the influence of headlamps...I hardly had one with me then, days of WonderLamps!
Long ledge near the top jogged me memory of our 'jettison' and my Scottish partner Graham. Schooled in the art we stuffed my homemade haul bag with what might survive, gave a loud shout and let it hurl! It didn't have shoulder straps anyway.
Good work on the TR

Nice .... thank you for taking the time to share.
My co-workers ask me about climbing sometimes. To explain better than I can with words, I have some ready to go ST trip reports pinned so I can get to them quickly, I just pinned yours.... sums up the whole experience very nicely.
