Stuck on the wall

Some friends of mine happened to be up on El Cap (Zodiac, I think) when the storm cut loose (see previous post). They were stuck in their portaledges for three full days before it let up. It was pretty exciting to watch huge sheets of ice break loose above them, but the wall is so steep they came out of it unharmed. I can't remember whether they finished after that or not. I would have come down. You can spot one white and one yellow portaledge in the lower center of the image. (click on image for full size view)
