Then there's still Decker and Piuma and Schreun (sp?). 16,500 feet in that double and nothing goes higher than what 3,000 feet?
That was also after Potrero from the bottom, yes? I haven't done the double, but a double riding friend said that was a hard one. I have done the Mulholland single a few times, that's enough for me.
