| When Loggan throws the rope for the rappel... |
I have now less than a week left in Yosemite and I really want to try again The Rostrum and climb the West Face of El Capitan ! Loggan was working these last days but now, he is back to Yosemite for a week !!! Yaaah let's do this !!!
The Rostrum
On the second pitch, which is a finger crack, my foot slips at the start and I rip 3 of my fingers... Luckily, the party below us had tape so I could fix that and climb again !!

| Yeaah, the tape staid !! |
The West Face of El Capitan
For the West Face, we decided to hike up to the base in the evening and sleep there. We prepared a nice dinner to eat up there...! ;)
 |
| It's almost full moon at the base... |
We fixed the 2 first pitches which are also 2 of the hardest. It was dark and quite hard but the moon was there to support us...! ;)
After this, we ate , enjoyed the moon, slept (and enjoyed a bit less the moonlight...) and started jugging the rope around 5AM the next day.
And finally, we got to the top ! The moon is almost full and we enjoy the beautiful view and the sunset...
Goodbye Yosemite !
It's time for me to go to San Francisco and get my flight back to Belgium... Loggan gives me a ride and together with Stephen who lives there, we'll have a great night in San Francisco ! Thanks a lot guys !!!
