Yosemite Valley - USA -  El Capitan - Bigger than you think  Indian Face Camp Ground Stoner's Highway - 5.10 R - Middle Cathedral This is a terrible butt shot but it was one of the most memorable days in the valley. Sharr started off by taking a 10-15 foot ground fall on the first pitch. His partner Alex courageously maneuvered to catch Sharr and break his fall. They both went crashing down onto the ground.  Sharr and Alex got up, dusted themselves off and climbed on. I also watched Alex take a fifteen footer while making the last moves before the belay half way up the route.It was an exciting day on a route with a lot of character.  Thankful for this life . . .
