South Seas --> PO Wall

Back when film was a thing, I soloed South Seas to the PO Wall. I think this was the best El Cap route I've ever climbed. At the time, it was pretty out there for me, so was more focused on survival than just enjoying the climbing. I think this is common, and while going for it is wild and exciting, there are details that are missed. I'd love to go back and climb this route again (even though I don't actually climb anymore)!


Until I (hopefully) recover a box of slides, this is the only image I have from the route. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd pitch, way down low, coming out of the alcove. I think I spent 11 days up there.
