Climbs like Upper Yosemite Falls just want to make you cry. Years ago I was on a much smaller climb. 15 minutes after we hit the ground the second pitch joined us. On another climb which was a big curtain it cracked wall to wall and sunk a couple of inches. I gave up placing any screws. Just remember boys and girls, take my advise, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Don't remember any years. They're all the same.
We did not climb where the actual Nevada falls flows but just to the right of it. The ice forms from the snow melt and a spring above.
The water streak coming out of the trees in this photo show where climbed.

Has the waterfall on Basket dome been ice climbed? Surely it must freeze over?

We were the only people in camp 4 but that night. Widows Tear came down @ ~2am. We hiked the falls and top roped the top 2 pitches in '03(?) Got soaked as the temps went higher and higher. If you peeled the wind would take you away so you had to jug with crampons(a 1st for me) and start over. Fun outing, A+ for exposure.

I like Werner's thinking...
I always laugh when I see/read about people clamoring to get to Lee Vining. There is SUCH good ice throughout Cali, if you just think a little and are willing to walk farther than 500 yards from the road. Pretty typical, lazy climber mentality though. But, hey - as long as guys keep playing on WI3 noob routes in LV, the really good ice is left for others.
