Have fun, Mike! Tuolumne is awesome. A must visit. The ditch is cool too.
Really try to hook up with a SoYo trip.

While in the Valley for the first time, don't forget to take the time after climbing to be a tourist -
go see the Ahwahnee, it's beautiful
go to the Visitor's Center, the Museum and the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Village
have a drink in the Mountain Room Bar and enjoy the great Glen Denny photos

Thanks Splitter! I'm enjoying the love already!

Hey Jingy, thanks for the cookie reco! Looks sick! Nutcracker looks rad too, I wanted to do snake dyke, but I think it might kill poor relic just getting up there! ;)
Cool cosmic. If we make it out that way I'll give you a ring!
Thanks JR, just didn't feel a proper thread without the standard taco greeting.
Just in case y'all are wondering what I'm doing online when I should be out climbing, I'm at my parents for the weekend for canuck thanksgiving...

Moby dick for sure, one of the few pitches Ive done in the ditch. My partner was epic'ing up there & losing his shlt while I was yelling & throwing rocks at a bear who was trying to steal the beer bag. Good thing for grigris. Very memorable experience although I don't remember much about the climbing, I think it was a stiff 5.9 but super fun jamming. Plus it's on el cap so yea you'll be badass.

What is "THE" valley guide?? and don't say Supertopo free climbs because I've been looking at it, and although it is interesting and has lots of useful info, it isn't quite up to Squamish standards... The descriptions in our books are awesome, pitch for pitch... Anything like that??

I figured.... looks cool though, i would love to have and peruse it... i can actually get one for a decent price but it won't arrive soon enough..... no wonder you guys are always so impressed about our guidebooks!!

Don't refer to San Francisco as Frisco either. That's way worse than saying Cali.

For the hour it takes to scramble up Gunsight and look at the top of Bridalveil Falls is a good return on your investment.

Hey, Mike, are you coming in next weekend? I have the Roper "green" Guide you can borrow.
You can stop by for beers, and I may just let you spend the night. I'm in Santa Clara, near San Jose Intl Airport.
Bottom line? Have some fun!
