Way to go Joe! It's all about conquering your fears, and you've now done that with the ledges. Proud of ya, buddy! I'm thinking about running up the North Fork with the family next Thursday, so I'm looking forward to talking this over with you before then.
Did you guys take the "skinny ledge" route to the elephant ear? I think I've been told that this ledge is an alternate or short-cut, and not necessarily a mandatory ledge. It's the one that's about 6-8 inches wide. Steve filmed it on his MR trip last year with Tom.
Assuming your knee's OK, two weeks from today we start up the MMWT. Looking forward to it! Did you guys get a chance to check out the trail yesterday?
Again, way to go Joe!
