[photid=195073]i feel very lucky to be in yosemite these 30 years, with the first 10 on rescue team (thankyou john dill and werner!) and the next 9 years guiding for yms (thanks bruce brossman and dave bengsten) and preferring to stay away from the classes i found myself filling a niche guiding walls and teaching the alpine seminars (2-3 day trips) out of tuolumne , in the high country around mt.conness)(thanks doug nidiver for teaching how to teach the alpine stuff) some of these shots are with clients, and some are with friends, most include my amazing wife sue, who many of you already know, while i admit not doing a wall in awhile, makayla told me this year that she wants to go up the big stone soon, and when i look at these old picks i start getting that feeling of how great it would be to pull off the big stone once again! please post some wall shots if you have them! its nice to have the motivation this time of year. thanks!

thanks for the great shots mark, wish i had shots of when i lead that roof pitch on n.a. with tucker tech, that was a trippy lead, going out but downward, seemed to feel more exposed than normal roofs. pretty sick you guys were freeclimbing up on the salathe headwall way back in the day.(superproud!!!)
