Congratulation! What an epic.

Even I had hiked down with daylight, I still can't imagine trying to get down in the dark light that.

You asked if the trip was a success or not, and I'd say yeah. You guys pushed it and that's great. Another good read as always.

Dan - Great read. I'm sure the experience will contribute to your sucess on the next try. When I was there last Sept, I only have 5.5 days in the Valley so we ended up doing Half-Dome and the Prow on Washignton Column. The Nose would have been nice but I have an excuse (with the wife) to go back there again.

BTW, please don't dump the excess water out. Just leave it there, someone will use them.
