 Catching Up on Capitol (Summer)   
This is a video report from my climb of Capitol back in 2011 with Ryan O'Connor.
I finally got around to editing it together.

I think the video chronicles what you face when you take on Capitol Peak. It really is a great climb, but please don't attempt unless you have achieved a comfort level with Class 3, Exposure, Loose Rock & Long Day Endurance. Hopefully, that's conveyed in this video.

Be safe! Can't wait to repeat this!

nicely done! great video too. I made it to about 15 feet onto the knife's edge and my partner was too spooked by the exposure so we turned around. Looking back it was the best choice but man, I cannot get that peak outta my head!! Great job!

Now not only do I not feel so bad with my 7-month delay, but you gave me an idea of what the proper exit to the Daly saddle should have been. :oops: Nice work, 'skerm!
