yeh kevin, the bonus for me would be walking down without having snow up to the armpits and wallowing for miles like the last couple times!!!:)
were getting the fairly low temps at night, but its shorts weather at the cookie during the day, so i know its pretty wet up there. im crossing my fingers for colder temps. seems like everything ive climbed here is wet though, till it gets dark and then of coarse we still have climbing to do and the ropes all freeze up to 15mm, and you cant use the belay devise. good thing we were taught the body belay! sometimes i wonder if these things should be best climbed at night when its cold and dry???
kev got any fa shots of widows you can share?

Hi Dan-
Dreaming... above, refers to my thoughts of climbing some of these climbs...
Great shots you have captured posted here!
Hoping to get on some of that soon. Are you looking for partners?
Cheers, Brian

Warbler, much respect to you for your ascent of that badboy back in the day, it ranks very high in the history of Yosemite climbing in my opinion.

What fosburg said.
Warroll is bad to the bone.
You'd never catch me up there, I'll instantly turn into a popsicle .....

Really cool - some rarely seen/climbed formations there.
Was it 1995 that was the monster year on the eastside? (Bridgeport flooded out). 2-3 pitches formed on the N. side of Lee Vining, Leversee and Andy Selters (though maybe not together) got on that thing. There was all kinds of ice madness down in Whitney Portal too, good times.

yeh, i remember leversee's voice whenever he talked about that thing, sounded real serious like, and in total awe, wason might have been there with him too. i look up there every summer when im cragging in that amphitheater, and try to imagine what it would look like, but its so overhanging and with the roofs its hard to picture (might be something like that wicked yabo tooth). wouldnt it be cool if someone had a shot of that thing (with those guys on it)???
