English: Kevin leads away in the darkness on the base of El Cap. The summit is directly above, only 31 pitches or 3,000 feet away, and hopefully less than 24 hours ahead of us. Changes in weather that backed up parties planning to climb on the Nose forced us into a late-night start after only three hours sleep. This was of no concern until Kevin's ipod broke leaving us singing the 80's hit "motoring" for hours and hours. We only knew one word of the lyrics.
