Pigfest had no official sponsors.

Big Al got Pig in LA and I think Bob used his credit card and cell phone to arrange for its baking. All done from A-Loop.

Does anyone know who took the gnome home?


Left a gnome (like 1 in photo) on climbers trail to Fairview.
Would like to know it has a good home.

Yesssss!!!

Hard to beat Tuolumne as a climbing destination. I'm definately planning on hittin' it this year.

I got unfinished business from a couple of years ago...

It's hard to not get this climb dialed in...
