OK, so I guess they slept on the ground, I had heard differently. It would be nearly impossible to repeat this these days with the amount of traffic up there. It would be like crossing a major highway during rush hour. The last time I was up there I saw someone take a 30ft ground fall and tumble down the talus with his belayer. After that, someone, from the same party, traversed over from a neighboring route and clipped into my gear. I explained from above that if they didn’t unclip and reverse course I would rap down and punch them in the face. I quit climbing up there after that.
