I got to design this myself thanks to my credit union. I haven't recieved it yet, but they did approve it!!!

Aaron Reite attempts the King Swing pendulum on The Nose. After several swings, he finds that he must lower out even further before he can get around the arete to the second crack. (Note that this is the "Emperor Swing" variation. The old piton in the first crack was gone, and we thought this would be more "fun" than relying on a few tiny brass offsets.) The photos were taken with a 35mm SLR attached to a spotting scope, and were stitched together by me, with minimal photoshoppage. You can see more at will.is-a-geek.org

The Nose taken last October 2005 from across the vally.

Aaron Reite successfully pulls off the King Swing pendulum on The Nose. He took six or seven swings total, lowering out a little more between each one. When he finally did get it, he just barely got his arms around the arete, then clawed his way around to the second crack. (Note that this is the "Emperor Swing" variation. The old piton in the first crack was gone, and we thought this would be more "fun" than relying on a few tiny brass offsets.)

That's how you see El Cap from Middle Cathedral Rock every pitch up its way. You'll love it. The view can't be beat.

Awesome aid training, on a sea of granite. Sorry to the Japan team waiting to get on the route!

This is a shot my friend Gavin took of me heading up the Great Roof.

I don't remember what pitch we're on but i do remember catching my buddy reading while he was belaying me. What a prick. ha ha ha

This is a shot of my buddy Gavin jugging our fixed line to Sickle ledge. It felt a little weird jugging up four ropes tied together.

This is a shot I took while making my way to Higher Cathedral. The falls were really flowing this year.

My buddy Gavin and I have always wanted to learn how to aid climb. A picture of me by me of our adventure on the Nose, El Capitan

My buddy Gavin with the luxury of freeing the pigs on the Nose, El Capitan. Notice how happy he looks.

This is a team sitting out some bad weather with us on top of the boot flake before heading up Tribal Rite.

Rick McCusic and I topped out on the Nose in June 1992. It was a wonderful experience and my first time to the summit of El Cap.

Beautiful picture, taken from tunnel view, good picture of the western face

Classic shot with Half Dome framed by El Cap and Bridalveil Falls

This is from a photo I took from a trip up The Capitan in 1988. My old wall partner Scott Tracy jugging The Mark of Zorro.

corbin and i on top of mammoth terraces about to rap the fixe lines from heart. we got a late start on the freeblast so we rapped down in the dark

Here's a shot I took a few summers ago. This shot reminds me of the first wall I did, the moon was so bright that each night I couldn't get to sleep.
