Practice on artificial cracks in the climbing gym helped a lot! I thought of Mei's PG cracks thread when we were climbing both the short OW on Chasing the Wind and the chimney on P4 of Eddie's Crack--"I've done these moves in the gym a thousand times!"
Leading through aggressive cliff-trees, excavating chunks of dirt and succulent from steep cracks in hopes of finding any gear, and coming to the absolute end of the rope at a base of a beautiful, perfect, clean splitter...heartbreaking.
Awesome photos; you're gonna have a productive 6 months!!

Man In Heat is an awesome route name.
Original was MEN in heat. And we called it that before actually climbing the thing, or figuring out where are we gonna start. Haha great day out, highly recommend this route. It is like Charlotte dome, but with different rock, a step up from the Charlotte dome as far as the length and runouts. The approach from the west is way shorter, less bushwhacking. Pitches are more sustained I thought. And very original place with views that are hard to get otherwise.
With a 70m rope one wouldn't have to simulate climb to get to anchors..
And if anyone knows what they are doing and want to add a few bolts, welcome to do so!

Just so beautiful up there... Appreciate your reports, as always! Hope you're doing well. Six months to roam sounds spectacular - enjoy and we'll maybe see you out there.
