Unlike the previous two days, the breeze has yet to blow. The climbers are just beginning what will be their last full work day on El Cap. We're going to pick up the pace right now and hopefully pass the party ahead of us. Team HighSights are in an area of El Cap called the Gray Bands. Sure enough, Sam is forced to rappel down and untangle the ropes and free the pigs.
Water supply is pretty tight and that's what is governing the push right now.
The Team remains awash in the morass of the Gray Bands. Despite the deduction of some canned goods, Pop Tarts and lots of water, the haul bags are still formidable. Sam is at a resting point and ready to muse. It's so awesome. Kind of tough to be looking down at the river.
