Thanks Kevin- I had a feeling events were connected here. Nice to have the cleanup crew be your friends for a change.
Eric Z is an indelible character for sure. He spent some time in Tucson so I had the pleasure of getting a taste of what he was serving up back then. The guy was a natural and could climb harder routes in his Hushpuppies than I could likely get up back then. LOL Just like a cool breeze...............right when you need it!

Dynamo Humm above camp 4...way above. Kevin, didn't you put that up? If I remember the crux (for most) was the last few moves on tips and this little quartz crystal for your foot. But the crux for me was the 5.9 OW. Classic little obscure line.
I've always wondered if anyone did any further routes up there. It's kind of a wild looking place.

Bear Necessities?
I don't know Kevin? Probably not if I can't remember.
By the way it's hot right now, hot, real hot, baking hot and the mosquitoes are hungry. The river is rising, and the grass is growing.
And there's so many people here ... it's a nuthouse. Maybe tomorrow it will be february again .... peaceful.

Has nobody mentioned Positively 4th Street.
The first two pitches were perfect but I had to clean a few years worth of leaves out of the upper pitches to get jams and pro in there.
I seem to remember a nice featured and unclimbed face to the left of the upper pitches as well...

Did anyone mention the South Face route on North Dome?? Man, thats a classic one, with views of Half Dome right there and the Valley below. We just hiked in from Porcupine Flats I think and camped on top of the Dome. Around 7 pitches and only a Yosemite 5.7!!
