Thanks! I took a look at your photos and honestly can't place where most of them were taken. Did you do the West Pole rap (closer to the actual summit) or the Traffic Jam rap (starts at the last pitch of Old Man's)? The fog is kind of nifty, though.
We came down the Traffic Jam Rap but rapped off of two cold shunts instead of the tree. because of that desicion and our rope we came up about 20 feet short and had to traverse and down climb off. The weather really changed the look and attiutde of the rock and route.
