It is mostly work done alone, your own personal money spent, the exploration strictly your own, the cleaning, equiping, time, bruises, scratches, and frequently the trail all your own thankless work. But come red-point day, you will have all kinds of folks reafy to lend a hand. In the end it is all this invisible labor that makes so much of climbing possible. Next time I come down myself I'll pour a brew for you bro, and thank you for another job well done!!!!
