Zodiac in a push

Nick hooking on the speed ascent of Zodiac (17 hours), with Dave Turner and Walt Dickinson 2004. It was my first experience ever speed climbing.

Top of Zodiac, this guys had climbed Zodiac on Wall style, this was a crazy night, no sleeping bags, very tired and cold, trying to keep the fire on the hole night.
