Truly exceptional TR.

Nailed the hell out of it and had some great route pictures of spots many folks don't catch.

Odd deal with the whisperlight working out better than your XGKs. Bad luck I'd say and not the normal experience. Usually XGKs well outperform the whisperlight.

Great TR with lots of photos. I didn't know the NPS fixes ropes on this peak. I understand why they might, I guess, but sheesh. That has to take something away from the experience?
