    I did my last big wall climb in 1985, finished my career with Nose. At that time we were still taking almost 2 days. I always wished I was in the Golden Years group, but was in the Stone Masters. I was fortunate to have climbed with a few of the Golden Years guys. They were my idols. We never thought to take a propane BBQ up El Cap. But I salute you with a gulp of cheap red wine provided by one of my many mentors, Warren Harding.

    Have you ever tried military MREs? You can buy them surplus and they have a really long shelf life. You can reduce the size by removing everything from all the packaging and it will repackage a lot smaller. Really high caloric meals that will clog you up so not a lot of pooping going on! And they improved in taste over the ones I used to eat in the 1980's!
