Opis:
I had been hanging out with a buddy in El Cap meadow who had been on a wall with “Pass the Pitons” Pete for 12 days and mentioned Pete was looking for porters to haul down some loads from the top El Cap. This was the day before I was planning to climb the West Face of the formation so after my buddy Cedar and I found ourselves on top with plenty of daylight to spare having done the route in 8ish hours, the idea of making a couple hundred bucks suddenly became appealing. We grabbed the bags, regretted our decision about 20 minutes in but it wasn't until about 10 minutes from the parking area when I took a misstep and rolled my ankle. I heard a crunch and immediately knew it was a sprain.
