A picket and a hell of a lot of rope. Must have been doing some training? My guess is Lightning Couloir and we're looking at that side gully that goes up to Miner's Bowl?

Zé has come a long way:

To this day he still doesn't know how to read a map or use a compass. He just walks in a straight line to each peak, no matter what god awful thorny brush is in the way :lol:
