Today I must thank Kevin McLane for his help. The good Mr McLane has made a magnificent very high-res digital picture of where our route might go. We can see the end. We can see the start. All we need is to connect the two. We need this pic because...on Sunday, The Driller and I are going to try to do P4 while Napoleon goes and pose-- err, I mean, socialises elsewhere. If we make it to Green Line Ledge, we have options. We will be able to see which cracks are climbable, but we won't be able to see what goes where. So armed with the photo, we will be able to pick a line that is both climbable AND headed ot the top.
I got the pic yesterday and then spent the whole day planning and dreaming. But we have to keep our dreams in check-- until rubber meets rock, you really have no idea where you can go. I am happy to have Driller onboard. First, because he doesn't try to get chicks through climbing, and more importantly because he has loads of aid experience. Also he has balls. And he has been trained by The Filth himself in the fine art of talking shit and drinking beer, without which as we all know there is no climbing.
And no, I'm NOT posting a pic of the route ;-)
