What the hell is free climbing? :) 5.5 is my onsight ability when i'm in aid mode. Nice work.

I agree, it seems very straightforward. I would mostly like to get an aid fix without having to drive 22 hours to the valley. I don't have time for 1-2 week vacations.

It would also be nice to have some experience to avoid overdriving pins, leaving deadheads, fixing pins, etc.

Yah i drive slow, and I've only been there when tioga pass is closed.

But really, do you know any el cap routes with nailing that can be done in 3-4 days from boulder by a guy asking for beta online?

Thanks for the useful advice about queen of spades. I'll look for it this weekend.

13 hours to valley, that's fast.

It takes me 10 hours to drive to Zion from Denver.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
